Two flagship papers from the International Brain Laboratory, now out in ‪@Nature.com‬:
🧠 Brain-wide map of neural activity during complex behaviour: doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-09235-0
🧠 Brain-wide representations of prior information in mouse decision-making: doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-09226-1 +

We are super happy to announce the third Workshop of Ideas in Neuroscience! We will once again look critically at assumptions of modern neuroscience: what does it mean that the brain encodes information? Is this a useful approach, or a metaphor that blurs our vision?

Kilosort4 detects a LOT of neurons, I recorded 15k neurons in one year 🤯 Traditionally, one would curate these detected units to see if they are well isolated single neurons. This is not feasible anymore, so today let's look at three options that are out there to automate this process! 🤖👇

Happy to provide more info about specifics or vibes if anything is unclear on the course websites since I've had the fortune and joy of learning from and teaching with many of these people!

This is so cool. Could we include Advanced Research Training Courses including application deadlines? I have a bunch in mind.

Here is a starter pack for relevant #neuro institutions on BlueSky. go.bsky.app/LMFsego Did we forget anyone?

How to rebuild your network on @bsky.app and improve your experience here?

I made a short starter guide with resources.
