Very happy and proud of this work by Filippo Heimburg, Josephine Timm and Nadin Saluti and dear colleagues. Showing, how unrestraining mice to study their behavior in a natural way, leads us to glimpse into how the brain makes it possible that we learn and remember things. lnkd.in/eCVrQ6gs

A tactile discrimination task to study neuronal dynamics in freely-moving mice - Nature Communications Task paradigms allowing studies on the core ethological function of the whiskers are lacking. Authors here present a task for freely moving mice that enables the study of how the brain processes touch...

We unrestrained mice to study how they use their whiskers to learn a discrimination task. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Active and passive touch are differentially represented in the mouse somatosensory thalamus Being passively touched and actively touching something evoke two different perceptions with different ethological meanings. This study shows that active and passive touch are represented differently ...

We're indeed, touched, to have this finding out. End of an era for the Bert Sakmann team from back in the day in Munich. plos.io/3DAPo7L

Mouse brains register the difference between touching something and being touched Though the sense of touch underlies how we and most other animals interact with the world around us, much remains unknown about how this sense is processed in the brain. Researchers from Heidelberg Un...

This week: Thalamocortical loops & learning

@seanescola.bsky.social & team show how corticothalamic connectivity optimizes motor control & working memory in mouse model

How does the thalamus fine-tune cortical activity? Check out! ⬇️

Congratulations ‪on Syntalos @mklu.bsky.social‬ !!!

I am excited to announce our publication of "Syntalos" in @naturecomms.bsky.social: A software to easily and reliably record from multi-modal data sources and design closed-loop interventions, with a focus on (neuro)scientific experiments, all while keeping timestamps synchronized! 🧵1/9
