Marco Gaertner Kosta Derpanis DeepLabCut 🦄 🤗 cebra.ai has the full caption, but TL;DR: neural networks to extract latent features from the visual cortex of mice and show we can predict what they were watching 📺🐭

January 1992 in Prague Jan Bureš told me about place cells, and turned me into a scientist. This Perspective reminds us that such neurons don’t respond to stimuli. Network discharge (and knowledge) is internally-organized but interdependent on the world nature.com/articles/s4158…

And that’s a wrap! Proud of the work done with my colleagues of the Scientific Committee and the FENS leadership. Next station is #FENS2026 in Madrid!! SENC

2/ 💡 Predictive coding is a leading theory of cortical function, with significant implications for perception, cognition, learning, and overall brain function. 🧠✨

HIRING! MSCA-funded PhD position: PhD position in vestibular sensory system research | EURAXESS euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/257881

Perception is multimodal—we recognize objects in the world by combining touch, sight, sound, smell, and taste. Primary sensory cortical areas (S1, V1, A1, …) respond to other modalities. Could a primary area bind together different modalities, like an association cortex? 🧵

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…

🎉Exciting news! Our lab's first paper, "Vocal labeling of others by nonhuman primates," is now published in @Science! 🐒 Dive into our findings on how marmoset monkeys use vocal labels similar to human names and dialects. Check it out! 1/6 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

🚨New preprint from the lab!🚨 We found a preference for visual objects in the mouse spatial navigation system and discovered that visual objects dynamically boost the encoding of head-direction! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 🧵👇1/

📢 Opportunity Alert! We have two open PhD positions in our lab at PDN Cambridge starting in Autumn 2025. Exceptional candidates may have the opportunity to join earlier as RAs and receive PhD funding if scholarship applications are unsuccessful. Advert: keshavarzilab.com/blog/phd-posit…

Dive into the intricate connections in the mouse brain! This video showcases 107 reconstructed neurons, thanks to the combined efforts of our teams at the Allen Institute, global collaborators, and tools from Google AI. Imaged using our cutting-edge ExA-SPIM microscope. 🧠✨

Delighted to share my postdoc project on biorxiv.org/content/10.110…! We used multi-Neuropixels during reaching and found preserved population dynamics across regions, sessions and animals that are not only linked to movement, but also the continuous expectation of action outcome.

1/ 🚨 Thrilled to share the final version of our paper in eLife - the journal! Both LC & VTA pathways release dopamine in CA1, but how might they uniquely modulate CA1 activity? Using VR, we imaged these pathways in mice to uncover their distinct roles. doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… #Neuroscience

5 years ago during a midnight confocal session I got intrigued about unknown to me at the time brain area. Today we are excited to share our review and our obsession about the lateral thalamus: authors.elsevier.com/a/1kFqJbotq3zhX

1. If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, you'll only see one color, pink. 2. Green Catastrophe: If you stare at the "+" in the center, the moving gap turns to green. 3. Reality Shatter: Now, concentrate on the +. Soon, many of the pink dots will slowly

We are pleased to announce the 2025 Paris Spring School in Optical Imaging and Electrophysiological Recording in Neuroscience. AKA the Paris Neuro Course. The course will run 14-27 May 2025. parisneuro.ovh Please forward to anybody you feel may be interested 🧠👩‍🔬
