Tenure-track group leader position in human systems neuroscience available at Kavli Neuroscience for candidate w/ insatiable urge to figure out how the human brain enables higher order cognitive functions. Excellent imaging facilities & colleagues. 👉 ntnu.edu/kavli/jobs #jobs #hiring


Who keeps the brain's speedometer up to speed? Speed cells in 🧠#MEC dynamically update our mental map with the velocity we move through space. Carvalho & Tanke found that these signals originate in the brainstem's pedunculopontine nucleus Cell Press cell.com/cell-reports/f…

If you love developmental neuroscience, you are eager to discover how circuits of the hippocampal formation assemble, and want to join the prestigious KIM ASHLEY, then it's your lucky day! 2 positions available in my group. Please RT and spread the word.


The grids are a torus, and continuous attractors are real!! Neuropixels makes a difference, as do outstanding postdocs and collaborators! #Gridcell #KiloNeurons Kavli Neuroscience #CAN biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

sad to say that I am leaving @KISneuro after 14 years and proud to share that I am starting as a group leader at UiO - Det medisinske fakultet to do intracranial recordings in humans Oslounivsykehus. 3 yrs postdoc position Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions available if you want to join! please RT.

We are recruiting a PhD to analyze responses to natural scenes using intracranially recorded LFP in humans! simula.no/education/educ… Collaborative project between Dep of Informatics Universitetet i Oslo, my group UiO - Det medisinske fakultet and the Voytek-group UC San Diego. Deadline 15th Aug.

Congrats Jo Carpenter and team!🥳 Looking forwards to reading this!


Very excited to share our work on theta sweeps in grid cells! 🧹🧹🧹Thanks to amazing co-authors Rich Gardner May-Britt Moser Edvard Ingjald Moser and everyone at Kavli Neuroscience who made this possible!

New preprint from the lab! Congrats to Ben and rest of the team Kavli Neuroscience



A hardwired high-speed sweep mechanism by which #gridcell populations scan the environment during navigation: Now out in nature ! Thanks to Abraham Zelalem Vollan and Rich Gardner for this heroic work! European Research Council (ERC) May-Britt Moser Kavli Neuroscience NTNU Norges forskningsråd nature.com/articles/s4158…

Just published a commentary with @JennCRobinson & Patrick LaChance about modeling by Zilong Ji of exciting data from Abraham Zelalem Vollan and Edvard Ingjald Moser. Proposes that alternating theta sweeps shown in entorhinal cortex can scan future paths to guide navigation. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
