Beyond grateful to share two co-first author papers that came out in nature!! With Amit Vinograd, we provide causal evidence for a line attractor in the mammalian brain! And with Mengyu Liu 刘孟宇, we show that line attractors might be a common mechanism for emotions beyond anger!


We're at #SfN24! Come visit us at booth #1865 joint with DANDI Project and check out our showcase of NWB-integrated tools: NWB GUIDE, OpenEphys, AqNWB, HERD, NeuroSift, and MATLAB analyses. We also have several posters on Tues. See details below:



Our group Western University and The Fields Institute Lab for Network Science has postdoctoral and graduate research positions available. We are looking for scientists to bring together applied mathematics, neural data, and neural networks. Join our collaborative team!



Congrats to @SMestern, Ph.D. student at Western University, for winning the MapMySpikes challenge! His tool, PatchOTDA, excelled in mapping electrophysiological data to molecular properties. 🧠🏆 More on his tool and the MapMySpikes challenge: alleninstitute.org/news/canadian-…

Congrats Sam Mestern !! Awesome to see NeuroCarleton alumni do great things!!

Excited to share my latest work with @[email protected] and Andrew Pruszynski. In this work, we ask whether motor sequence learning is motoric at all! Check out the 🧵version of the abstract: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/n

🚨 Exciting news! Wataru Inoue & tim bussey have received CIHR funding to explore the role of the prefrontal cortex in behavioral selection under stress. This research could unlock new insights into how stress impacts decision-making! 🧠💡#Neuroscience #Stress


Check out our new perspective paper on metastability in neuroscience published Physical Review E doi.org/10.1103/PhysRe…


The Hypothalamus, a phylogenetically ancient brain region where action potentials and hormones interface to produce hybrid signalling cascades; ultimately enabling our responses to stress. Check Hiro's paper. Amazing work led by Wataru Inoue. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
