Want to kill science? Fund scientists—then force them out of the lab to write grants, review grants, and sit on panels. Tie funding to flashy papers, and everyone will chase fads. Done.

We seek a motivated candidate with a background in neuroscience or computational sciences, and experience in either experimental in vivo work or modelling (Python, neural networks).

This @centuri-ls.bsky.social project combines computational modelling (spiking and normative models) with in vivo electrophysiology, imaging, behaviour, and optogenetics to study how serotonin and noradrenaline shape prediction error signalling during sensory-motor mismatch.

📣 PhD position in computational & systems neuroscience (Marseille, France).

⏰ Deadline 28 Jan.

We are recruiting a PhD student to work on neuromodulatory control of predictive processing in mouse vision, jointly supervised by @ederancz.bsky.social (INMED) and @laurentperrinet.bsky.social (INT).

Projection-specific integration of convergent thalamic and retrosplenial signals in the presubicular head direction cortex Nonlinear dendritic integration in single presubicular neurons provides a mechanism for combining vestibular-based head-direction signals and visual landmark signals to anchor the brain’s internal com...

Coincidence of thalamic HD signal and retrosplenial visual input is detected in the Presubiculum! 🎯 This may be the neuronal basis for landmark anchoring of the HD signal. Pleased to announce the VOR is now available elifesciences.org/articles/92443 Congrats first author Louis Richevaux 🙌

Looking forward to reading it!

Evolutionary leftovers (serving good but mostly hard wired purpose, brainstem stands out here). But next step in evolution will be (is) all cortex.

I’m speechless

The postsubiculum as a head-direction cortex The organisation of thalamocortical networks follows a conserved structure. Traditionally, these are divided into primary sensory systems that receive…

Really excited to share this Opinion piece we've been working on with fellow head-direction cell geeks @apeyrache.bsky.social @desdemonafricker.bsky.social and (bsky-less?) Andrea Burgalossi! While head-direction cells pop up in many cortical regions, we think that one of them is quite unique (1/8)

Overall, our findings highlight dendrites as a potential substrate for the cognitive rigidity that characterizes autism spectrum disorders.

Observed at an SfN poster session?

Interested in doing a PhD on how #psychedelics (or other psychoactive substances) impact psychological or social processes @durhampsych.bsky.social ?

Have a look at the NINE DTP scheme, now open. DM me if interested.

Are you interested in visuo-motor mismatch and serotonin? Come see @norambr.bsky.social featuring mice spinning in VR at R16!

Maybe not the same river, but the same shit yes, time and time again. We collectively, and we as individuals. Hopelessly maladapted through millennia of evolution to the current setup. Except the 1% socio/psychopaths of us, who are having a field day.

Armed and ready at C5 - @hughtakemoto.bsky.social on serotonin effects on pyramidal cells across V1 and V2. #SfN2025 #serotonin #visualcortex #theta_resonance

Wednesday PM poster R16 by @norambr.bsky.social

Combined vestibular and visuo-motor mismatch modulates neuronal activity and serotonin levels in mouse visual cortex

Tuesday AM poster C5 by bskyless Hugh Takemoto

Serotonergic modulation of excitability in visual cortical pyramidal neurons across layers and areas

Our lab digs into how serotonin tunes prediction errors and eye movements — with custom tools and curious mice.We got 2 posters at #SfN2025, Tue AM (C5) and Wed PM (R16).
Recruiting PhD students & postdocs in sunny Marseille.
Come chat about neuromodulators, tinkering, or free will and intuition.

Great projects, great environment.

Independent NeuroScience Services INSS was registered as a company on 14th November 2016, which means it's our 9th birthday today! As a birthday present we've treated ourselves to an SfN exhibitor booth for the first time ever. Come and say hello at Booth #3327

Hear BrainGlobe core developer speak about the project in this keynote lecture.

It’s genius. And should be miniaturisable (is that even a word)? Did you email them? (We use impedance measurement to stop when through the bone, but it’s a bit hot and miss)

Can you guess grant deadlines and SfN dates from this graph?

For the first time ever, INSS will have a booth at SfN this year. Please come and say hello at Booth #3327
Would be lovely to see some familiar faces!

Heaven sent, no more ordering at least 10 from Ali, waiting for 2 weeks and paying from my pocket, the figuring out it was the wrong one!
