We are now working on the integration of this system with wireless battery-free optogenetics, so that your perturbation experiment can be generating lots of interesting data while you do your favorite activity 🚲⛱️ 📚⚽️. If you want to give it a try, get in touch with us (4/4).

I’d like to thanks the entire TV-team for making this dream come true, but particularly to @balmaserrano.bsky.social and Rafa Marín for the continuous and tireless effort over the years. It has been great doing this together (3/4).

In the TV, 🐭 are happier than before: they live in groups of n~10 in enriched environments with almost zero handling or transportation. And students are also much happier 😊: no monotonous and time-consuming mouse training. No coming to the lab on weekends to control water restriction (2/4).

A few years ago we dreamed about having an automated system in which our animals could live in and train on any behavioral task 24/7 w/o any human intervention. Today, we are very happy to share the Training Village (TV), an open system that can be used to train mice/rats in almost any task (1/4).

🚨Excited to share my first @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social🚨 with the amazing Smith lab, @jbarbosa.org and Albert Compte who made this work possible.

We show that 🐒prefrontal hemispheres combine redundancy (for precision) & weak connections (for capacity) for supporting spatial working memory (WM). 1/🧵

Informe del doctor Raúl Incertis desde Gaza

These horrible pics taken by a Spanish physician in Jan Yunis document well many of the victims of the masacres perpetrated by the IDF over just three months in Gaza. Until when will this craziness continue? When will Israelis react to the suffering of the children in Gaza?

Heartbreaking. Maddening. How many more of these testimonies we need to hear before we believe this conflict has all the elements of a genocide?

One day they will tell what happened there By Avner Wishnitzer. Avner is a co-founder of Combatants for Peace and a professor of history at Tel Aviv University. We reprint with his permission this

This is very brave! Thanks Avner Wishnitzer for speaking up. I wonder what your colleagues, our colleagues, in Israeli academic institutions think about this. "Ask about Gaza, speak about Gaza, oppose the killing. Choose life." www.pressenza.com/2025/07/one-...

Western leaders call for diplomacy, but they won’t stop this war – they refuse to even name its cause | Nesrine Malik The political centre sees the US and Israel’s war on Iran as a crisis to be managed, while the gap between their detached politics and bloody rhetoric widens, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

I'm ashamed by the response of the European leaders. Who has been the agressor here? why is this such a difficult question to answer?

When is this massacre going to stop? What else has to happen for the international community to take action? And then they say they use human shields. This is unbearable.

This looks incredibly cool!

Excited to announce multiple #PhD & #Postdoc positions opening in my lab over the next three years as part of the #ERC Starting grant DIVERSE! Reposts appreciated 😊 #neuroscience #neuroskyence

Thanks for the reference. Looks very relevant and indeed very similar to what we found. It's very unfortunate that we were not aware of it (neither were our four reviewers 🤷).

Really happy to see this is out. 👏👏 Great team effort, from a couple of generations from 2 labs. I love how this fine understanding of the motor responses was possible thanks to some of our previous work carefully dissecting other aspects of the task (i.e. history effects and RTs). More to come! 🎉
