New preprint from candela in Andrew MacAskill lab UCL Neuroscience! Push-pull regulation of exploratory behavior by two opposing hippocampal to prefrontal cortex pathways biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our new study with Gord Fishell and @JDimidschstein is now on bioRxiv, showing how the ventral hippocampus engages CCK+ interneurons in the prefrontal cortex, with endocannabinoid modulation of inhibition at only a subset of L5 pyramidal cells: Xingchen Liu, Ph.D. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congrats Tina Voelcker! This is one of those really pretty results I think a lot of folks suspected was true but never confirmed. Until now.

Confused about confidence? Bored with Bayes? Tired of 2-AFC? Join us for a virtual journal club: Monday May 4th at 12:30 New York time on nyu.zoom.us/j/99274459619 Hsin-Hung Li and I will present our paper on multi-alternative confidence nature.com/articles/s4146…

New preprint from our lab! On our quest to understand how neural activity drives behavior we made a big step forward. Find how we quantify and map DeepLabCut annotated behavior using Deep Variational Autoencoders. VAME GitHub Toolbox available. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Great talk by hakwan lau 🇺🇦 @hakwan.bsky.social at Consciousness Club @WCHN_UCL dealing with which creatures are conscious and ending with suggested clinical treatments for fear and phobia. Thanks to @smfleming for organizing

New preprint from the lab on how the retrosplenial cortex and the superior colliculus help mice find their way home when they are scared. Led by the fantastic duo @RubenDVale and Dario Campagner. #gimmeshelter biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share a preprint of the final work from my postdoc lab where we show that prelimbic cortex bidirectionally controls platform-mediated active avoidance. Jorge Iravedra 🇵🇷 Bouwerg Jonathan Moran Viviana Paola biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

"Thoughtful Feelings" is a new My Word article in Current Biology. It's an overview of my ideas about what emotions are. Thank you Geoffrey North for publishing these "thought pieces." authors.elsevier.com/a/1bCM73QW8Ru7…

Did you ever wonder what happens to memory in Alzheimer's disease? We found that the memory trace is still there, but impaired by interference with other neuronal ensembles. Like a noisy radio channel. Check it out: nature.com/articles/s4159… @DZNE_en @DZNE_de

"defensive responses like fleeing or freezing can co-occur with feelings of fear, not because the neural processes underlying these two kinds of events are intimately entwined in the amygdala, but instead because the events have the same starting point." Completely agree!

New paper: "Induction of conditioned #avoidance via mental #imagery". New article available at Behaviour Research and Therapy, with Gaëtan Mertens, Leer, & Engelhard! (sciencedirect.com/science/articl…)

Very proud and happy for Rodrigo LeDoux Lab !
