Cover of The Lancet's Oct 4, 2025 issue. Cover quote reads: "Most medical and surgical societies worldwide have remained silent or issued vague statements about Gaza's healthocide [...] Staying silent while pretending to be neutral is, in effect, a form of complicity."

On this week’s cover of The Lancet, a new letter: “Gaza’s healthocide: medical societies must not stay silent”.

🚨 New preprint! 🚨

Excited and proud (& a little nervous 😅) to share our latest work on the importance of #theta-timescale spiking during #locomotion in #learning. If you care about how organisms learn, buckle up. 🧵👇

Thrilled to share that our work is now published in Science! ✨

We found a preference for visual objects in the mouse spatial navigation system where they dynamically refine head-direction coding. In short, objects boost our inner compass! 🧭

A do-or-die moment for the scientific enterprise Reflecting on our paper “The entities enabling scientific fraud at scale are large, resilient, and growing rapidly”

Today, our article "The entities enabling scientific fraud at scale are large, resilient, and growing rapidly" is finally published in PNAS. I hope that it proves to be a wake-up-call for the whole scientific community.

"L'illusion de la main en caoutchouc" (où l'on a l'impression de posséder une fausse main quand on la voit placée dans le prolongement de son bras et qu'elle est stimulée tactilement) est une expérience importante pour étudier l'attribution de propriété corporelle... adaptée chez la pieuvre 😍

Thanks!! :)

Check out our latest research on the neural mechanisms of nicotine (and alcohol) feedback in dopamine circuits, just published in @natcomms.nature.com!

Slowing the drive: A new regulatory break for nicotine reward-related behaviors In this issue of Neuron, Jehl et al. developed a “suicide” antagonist to demonstrate that the interpeduncular nucleus acts as a regulatory controller of nicotine reward-related behavior through connec...

Our work on the role of the interpeduncular nucleus in nicotine reward ( www.cell.com/neuron/abstr... ) is featured in a Neuron Preview ! Brandon J Henderson highlights how a new regulatory circuit controlling nicotine reinforcement has been uncovered. www.cell.com/neuron/abstr...

Congrats!!! When are we celebrating?

We need your help!!! 🧠🧪💤

If you are human, you fall asleep at least once a day! What happens in your mind then?

Scientists know actually very little about this private moment.

We propose a 20-min survey to get as much data as possible!

Two postdoc positions in the lab within the ERC Synergy project "Chronology" in collaboration with S. Ostojic, M. Jazayeri and V. van Wassenhove @virginievanw.bsky.social . Two focuses: sound sequences representations across the brain & novel all-optical technology. Contact: brice.bathellier@cnrs.fr

Thanks!
On the bright side, just got an email that one of our papers got accepted in Nat Comm. So we will keep going! :)

The other shoe finally dropped. We were notified this morning that our NIH funding for our work on photopharmacology tools has been cut.

We’ll keep going with or without them 🤷‍♂️

Can’t wait for the celebratory “pot”!!!

In 1825, the French state imposed a tribute on Haiti to compensate slave owners for their loss of property. It is now time to start concrete discussions about restitution.
