Cholinergic input to mouse visual cortex primarily signals a movement state signal, with virtually no activation in response to visual stimuli or prediction errors. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🧠🐭🔭 Neuroscience is in a new era: we’ve never been able to collect as much neural & behavior data as we can now,🔋 by new eng & AI. We aim to build a Brain & Behavior Observatory, building on community #WeNeedYou 📝: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36240770/ 🧠🐭🔭: BrainBehaviorObservatory.org

Erlich Lab and my lab are recruiting postdocs to work on economic decision-making, towards understanding cognition in psychiatric conditions. Go talk to Jeff if you are interested and are going to SfN!

How does the brain implement and switch between different behavioural strategies, such as explore, exploit or disengage? Remarkably, a small nucleus in the midbrain can do it all! A new, exciting direction for my lab led by the amazing Mehran Ahmadlou: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Regret not taking university-level maths but want to get into theoretical neuro or ML grad studies? Apply to the 7 week Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit maths bridging course by next Friday! From Africa or another under-resourced background? We have some funding for you! 🤩 ucl.ac.uk/gatsby/study-a…

Come work with us at SWC! Multiple postdoc positions (both theory & experiment) are available in my group, to study computational & neural principles of statistical learning in the brain (of mice, rats, humans). Apply until March 18. Please share! ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…

One week left to apply!! Come work with us SWC! Projects related to hippocampal independent replay, dopamine and how it all fits together. DM / email with any Q's. Please share!

Postdocs of the world! Come and present your work to the SWC community. We'd love to hear about you and your research. Apply to #ENSS by August 5.

For fun holiday reading: what is the role of neocortex? The amazing Sara Mederos shows that a specific corticofugal pathway is crucial for learning to overwrite instinctive reactions. An epic study going from neural pathway down to synaptic mechanism! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Are we too cortex exclusive? 🧠 We found that perceptual decisions depend on a cortical pathway through thalamus (transthalamic), even though corticocortical projections are intact. Transthalamic pathways thus play a major but underappreciated role in perception. 1/5

Check out our new work led by @NateZuk, co-supervused by Merav Ahissar & me -- an EEG study in a perceptual decision making task, showing how neural & beh responses to feedback are different in ASD biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Read this nice news piece too! sainsburywellcome.org/web/blog/autis…

What is the nature of sensory prediction error signals in the neocortex? Our research published in nature reveals that these error signals are amplified responses to unexpected inputs, mediated by a cooperative thalamocortical circuit mechanism! 1/4 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Excited to start this research funded by an ERC starting grant! Anyone interested in unveiling the mechanisms of cortical predictive processing using in vivo whole cell recordings, VR, and imaging - get in touch: we're seeking excellent postdocs and PhD students to join our team

Great paper describing brain-wide coordination of neural activity during decision making
