The first @embo.org #Astrocyte #Meeting was a success! Thanks to our excellent speakers, brilliant trainees, & DiBio @unipd.bsky.social volunteers. Looking forward to the next iteration! Laura.Civiero Matthew.Holt Olga.Sin WonSuk.Chun Keith.Murai Valentin.Nagerl @carmenfalcone.bsky.social

@embo.org Astrocyte has been a success. Our lab at @kcnhub.bsky.social contributed by three posters and one talk in a continuous endeavor to build a #biophysical #theory of the #brain that puts #tripartite neuron #astrocytes circuits at its core @kbi-uhn.bsky.social Thanks team & brilliant peers.

Great feedback from a galvanizing community at @embo.org #Astrocye Meeting where @zhenyangsun.bsky.social presented our data unravelling how #anatomy shapes astrocyte function @kcnhub.bsky.social @kbi-uhn.bsky.social

Terrific line-up of speakers @neuroprinciplist.bsky.social! I am pretty much looking forward our #workshop on *Neural Computation without Neurons* at this year’s @cosynemeeting.bsky.social

Evolutionary convergence of sensory circuits in the pallium of amniotes The amniote pallium contains sensory circuits that are structurally and functionally equivalent, yet their evolutionary relationship remains unresolved. We used birthdating analysis, single-cell RNA a...

Happy to share this work putting forth the first #computational model of #developing #embrionic cortical circuits. Phenomenal team coordination by Fernando Garcia Moreno @achucarro.bsky.social. @kbi-uhn.bsky.social @kcnhub.bsky.social

A man was destined for early Alzheimer’s — these genes might explain his escape Scientists identify nine genetic variants that could have helped a man to avoid dementia for at least two decades longer than expected.

Despite carrying a genetic mutation associated with early-onset #Alzheimer’s, a man remained free of dementia symptoms for at least 2 decades longer than expected 👉 genetic variants may explain this remarkable resilience. See more here: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Cognitive networks interactions through communication subspaces in large-scale models of the neocortex The neocortex-wide neural activity is organized into distinct networks of areas engaged in different cognitive processes. To elucidate the underlying mechanism of flexible network reconfiguration, we ...

I am excited to share the last work of my postdoc as a Swartz Fellow at NYU on the dynamic routing of large-scale cognitive networks in the neocortex! 🌐🧠 Here's a quick breakdown: 🧵

Large language models surpass human experts in predicting neuroscience results - Nature Human Behaviour Large language models (LLMs) can synthesize vast amounts of information. Luo et al. show that LLMs—especially BrainGPT, an LLM the authors tuned on the neuroscience literature—outperform experts in pr...

Claiming #LLM will outperform #humans in #neuroscience or #science discovery is #hallucination. LLMs may aid discovery, but producing #foundational #scientific discovery is #serendipitous, which #LLM will confuse with #noise. I see LLMs as more useful for #fact-checking a study tinyurl.com/bdsx2mxa

Yes please!

My paper is out!! 🎉

"Opponent control of reinforcement by striatal dopamine and serotonin", @Nature

Here, we show that dopamine and serotonin signals form a gas-brake system for reward in the mammalian brain

Thanks @liddelowsa.bsky.social Awesome Idea. I am working myself on one for the theoretical glia community.

Should we just raise the issue with the #Candian equivalent...?

Actually it wouldn’t be a bad idea! We discussed earlier in the year to organize something modeling-oriented about astrocyes with Keith in Montreal…

I am giving a 2-day #advanced #course on #astrocyte multiscale #models at the University of #Padua IT on April 10--11, 2025 #EMBO. An excellent opportunity to learn how to include #neuron-#glia #interactions in your models, from molecules to networks. Info & Registration: tinyurl.com/yx3m6acy

‘A place of joy’: why scientists are joining the rush to Bluesky Researchers say the social-media platform — an alternative to X — offers more control over the content they see and the people they engage with.
