📣 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).

Dendrite-targeting OLM interneurons regulate the formation of learning-related CA1 place cell representations Spatial learning depends on the rapid formation of hippocampal CA1 place cell representations through behavioral timescale synaptic plasticity (BTSP)[1][1]–[7][2]. BTSP is driven by dendritic Ca²⁺ pla...

Fully funded PhD position between our lab in Göttingen and @tobiasackels.bsky.social in Bonn! Dual-color imaging 🔬🐁 in freely moving mice, behavioral analysis, olfactory 👃 and spatial coding in #hippocampus... It's a cool project in two fantastic labs. Reach out if interested! 🤙 #neuroskyence

Adaptive communication between cell assemblies and “reader” neurons shapes flexible brain dynamics Cell assemblies have been proposed as key units of brain activity, underlying diverse functions, but their basic features are not well understood. This study shows that interactions between cell assem...

Cell assemblies are drawing increasing attention in neuroscience, but one could argue that they are just an epiphenomenon. Is the activity of cell assemblies relevant for the brain?
The short answer is yes. The long answer is in our paper, now online at PLOS Biology. 🧵👇 1/10

Great opportunity for junior/mid career neuroscientists in Europe! Do apply!

Excited to share our new preprint! We use advanced models to show how PV+ interneurons can toggle hippocampal rhythms, switching between memory encoding & recall states simply by activating different nonlinear dendritic branches. 🧠⚡️ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Systems and circuit neuroscience need an evolutionary perspective To identify fundamental neuroscientific principles that generalize across species, neuroscientists must frame their research through an evolutionary lens.

To identify fundamental neuroscientific principles that generalize across species, systems and circuits, neuroscientists must embrace an evolutionary perspective, argue Karl Farrow and @katjareinhard.bsky.social.

Some Memories of Stalking the Seahorse Early influences that led to the development of the cognitive map theory of hippocampal function, and the multiple trace theory, are discussed. Some details are provided, many are left out.

I love when personal histories and anecdotes are interspersed with scientific discussions – so it was a delight to read these pieces by Lynn Nadel and Daniel Schacter.
