A new Department of Cognitive Science is being created at Bocconi University in Milan, Italy.

Here is the call for a cluster hire (for around 10 faculty) in all areas of cognitive science, at both junior and senior levels:

www.unibocconi.it/en/faculty-a...

Deadline: May 4th, 2026

Real brains have messy, heterogeneous neural tuning - and that’s a feature, not a bug. We show how heterogeneity boosts encoded information 🚀. Swing by poster [1-019] at tonight’s #cosyne26 to see how.

With 'next semester' do you mean spring 2026? Will we miss each other?

I am exited to visit @informatics.tuwien.ac.at as a Global Fellow from next week to mid-November 🇦🇹. If you're in Vienna and interested in meeting up to chat about science (or just say hi), please reach out - I’d love to connect with new colleagues and collaborators! #AcademicLife #Vienna

How Mice Make Foraging Decisions: Uchida Lab Reveals Neural Mechanism Underlying “Stay or Go” Choices - Harvard University - Department of Molecular & Cellular Biology In a new study in Neuron (PDF), researchers from Naoshige Uchida’s MCB lab provide an unprecedented look at how the brain makes foraging decisions—choices between sticking with a […]

Thanks, Ching-Lung!

Competitive integration of time and reward explains value-sensitive foraging decisions and frontal cortex ramping dynamics Bukwich and Campbell et al. show that mice integrate elapsed time and reward intake, scaled by a latent patience variable, to decide when to leave virtual “patches.” Frontal cortex ramping activity ma...

Our paper on foraging is now published in Neuron! Read it here:

This project was co-led by Michael Bukwich (not on Bluesky) and me, with major contributions from all co-authors. Huge thanks to the whole team!

How is the nervous system organized to coordinate behavior? To approach this massive question, a team led by @asbates.bsky.social, @jasper-tms.bsky.social, @mindyisminsu.bsky.social, & Helen Yang present the BANC: a Brain and Nerve Cord connectome.

Public access to the first fly connectome that spans the whole CNS - BANC!: codex.flywire.ai?dataset=banc

Different from prior connectomes - it is brain + cord (think spinal cord)

We use it to ‘embody’ the system and find it resembles ‘subsumption architecture’ doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Heterogeneous neural tuning is observed all over the brain, but what is it for?

For a potential answer, check out our new pre-print at www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1..., and @zachcohen1.bsky.social's post for an overview. #neuroskyence #NeuroAI #compneurosky

We have an open PhD position in an exciting @dfg.de - @ageinves.bsky.social project to further develop continuous psychophysics in collaboration with Joan-Lopez Moliner.

Hi folks — What federally-hosted data sets do you use for your research? Please reply below. I'm especially curious about more obscure .gov data sets that might be research critical for you.

(And I'm interested to hear about data sets in any domain, not just life sciences!)

Congratulations, Mark! Well deserved.

Despite some ups and downs at NIH, we do have an open position for a postbac and are considering candidates.
Our work is at the intersection of neuroscience and AI, and we aim to understand how the brain's densely connected recurrent networks operate. 🧪

There are few fully-funded PhD positions left for this year’s Theoretical Neuroscience/ Machine learning program at Gatsby! Apply by May 27 and start in September. Please distribute broadly

Jan Drugowitsch (@jdrugowitsch.bsky.social) and I, with our former postdoc Johannes Bill, have written a review covering the classic work as well as more recent work:
