I'm pleased to share our new work, “Spatio-temporal organization of network activity patterns in the hippocampus”, out in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social !
With Demi Brizee & David Dupret, we track how oscillations and spiking behaviour map onto hippocampal layers using an LFP-based embedding.

Distinct dendritic integration strategies control dynamics of inhibition in the neocortex Dendrites critically influence single-neuron computations, but their role in neocortical GABAergic interneurons (INs) remains poorly understood. We fo…

📣New study in Neuron, featuring modeling insights: "Cell-Specific Dendritic Integration in Cortical GABAergic Interneurons"! It reveals PV & SST interneurons compute differently. This highlights how distinct dendrites enable specialized brain computations!

Wow, congrats Anna! That's so amazing!

Question to the #neurobiology #evolution community: Can anyone point me to literature on the divergence in excitatory #neurotransmitter use between invertebrates and vertebrates? Specifically how insects got to mainly use acetylcholine and vertebrates glutamate? Thanks!

I'd like to build a map of maps in neuroscience. Who has done some aggregation work of putting together at all the existing data repositories, atlases, maps, etc. tackling electrophy, morpho, cell types, transcriptomes, connectomes (micro and meso) to figure out what we know about the brain?

Go work with Jonas!

Wow, congrats Jonas! That's cool :-)

I have a post-doc position to study the effect of AI on education.

How can we ensure that AI tools enhance natural intelligence?

The position is a part of the Estonian Centre of Excellence in Artificial Intelligence.

Please repost - not easy to get people to work in Estonia 🥶

tl;dr The problem with science isn’t how we talk about to Aunt Flo and Uncle Earl at Thanksgiving - it’s that we’ve knowingly made its central purpose career advancement at the expense of advancing the public good.

Can you by any chance recommend a good review on different functions of different rhythms? Thanks!

Looks pretty cool (and useful)!

Hope you enjoy it!

I think in a way it's also a very accessible and fun intro to cybernetics without, if I recall correctly, ever explicitly calling it cybernetics.

I agree, it's somewhat dated by now, but still very absolutely worth reading. It's a collection of very straightforward thought experiments about how very simple rules can result in interesting, intentnioal behavior.

For so many, there was a book - often read ~20yo - that had a very big influence on their next steps. Do you have a book story like that? Do tell!

My book was Crick's "Astonishing Hypothesis". I got to feature my 30yo tattered copy in a recent photo shoot.

Vehicles was pretty cool!

Solution Pt2: It's the central one.

Solution Pt1: Only one of the three is real.

Can you tell apart real from fabricated histological images? (Solution below -->🧵)

In our new preprint we test how easy or difficult it is to spot "scientific images" synthesized with generative algorithms. #ImageForensics

Inspired by the threads below, let's take a minute to remind ourselves of the research @hannahrsnyder.bsky.social might be excited about. How is it helping us understand mood?

Definitely not going to point to the forced swim test. But I am *very* excited about where the field is heading.

Thread worthwhile reading 👇

Do you have recmmendations for kits/methods for mRNA FISH high-throughput experiments over many tissue slices?

Or alternative approaches to get single-cell resolution mRNA expression data for 6-10 genes (not necessarily in one experiment)?

Please retweet and thanks a lot!

Ok - still thanks for your reply! I think it would actually be really interesting to have something like a statistic comparing journal standards and rates of corrections/retractions.

🚨 Preprint alert!!Thrilled to share my work in Ruediger Klein lab @MPIforBI @IMPRS_ML w/Zhang Y, Christian P, Tobias S, Johanna M. How emotional valence is arranged in BLA? is it hard-wired/topography? here's what we found!

Do you actually have an overview of whether and if so what automated systems are currently being used? Thanks a lot!

Are you aware whether there is something like a good synthesis of current standards across journals? Thanks!

Many researchers in cognitive neuroscience and deep learning seem to assume that inference in the brain is hierarchical. 

Our new Nature Reviews Neuroscience paper questions this assumption and proposes the shallow brain hypothesis.

Nice thread on predictive coding in schizophrenia 👇

Neuroscience folks! What are your favorite examples of physiological data suggesting competitive dynamics? I mean examples of neural activity patterns that appear to be mutually exclusive or nearly so.

How much evidence is there for winner-take-all vs winner-take-some?
