If you're interested in the intersection of neuroscience 🧠 and software engineering 👩💻, these are excellent opportunities. Great teams and a supportive working environment.
Can't recommend them enough! #neuroskyence
Has media consumption gone too far?
Come join us to build open source tools for neuroscience!
Happy to answer any questions.
Curious how YOUR brain adapts to body augmentations? 🧠
On 21 March we will be at the Donders Institute Open Day (De Brein Show) in Nijmegen. Our lab @bbt-lab.bsky.social will be part of the demos, where you can try our finger-extending exoskeleton 🦾

Really bummed that my student Abhishek and I can't attend #Cosyne26. He was going to present a poster today on a new kind of place-value mapping in the orbitofrontal cortex (poster # 2-153). If you are curious (and were planning to visit the poster), please feel free to reach out.
Cool CFP on neural computation at Bochum 🧠

I’ll be presenting our work, supervised by Peter E. Latham and in collaboration with @krotov.bsky.social, at #COSYNE2026.
Full paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2601.00984
(to be presented at #ICLR2026).

We only experience time moving forward. But memory can both predict what comes next and reconstruct what must have happened before.
In a new @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social preprint, we show how hippocampal development enables this flexible representation of time 🧵
How does the brain build a memory?
A common assumption is that the neurons activated during an experience collectively form the memory engram.
In our new Nature Neuroscience paper (finally out!), we show that this is not the case.

2026 essay competition
Oh wow. I know people here have THOUGHTS. Write them up & submit!!
I love that all essays have to be public before entering. This is exactly the type of conversation we need more of. (Also cash prizes + philanthropy is listening)
Now which on my list should I pick 🤔?

NIH is requesting comments on a new draft policy that may require human brain imaging data (and other data) from nih-funded research to only be shared via controlled access, & only with certain countries. I suggest neuroimagers read closely & submit comments by 3/18.

🧠 Resting-state fMRI is often treated as the gold standard for studying the brain’s intrinsic organization.
But is it actually the best way to estimate functional architecture?
We tested this directly.

Thanks @natmesanash.bsky.social for covering our new work, in @thetransmitter.bsky.social!
Super excited to give a talk in the main auditorium at COSYNE in Lisbon about my ongoing PhD work on how the hippocampus supports vocal interactions in singing mice! 🐭🎤♬🧠

Spoiler alert... the fastest one comes under a microsecond!
If you currently do not have a reproducible workflow where you can share data and code where possible, I expect you will soon not be able to publish in good journals.
Beyond being best practice, journals will use this to identify papers written by AI.
Plan a new project accordingly.
Inhibitory neurons are among the most transcriptomically diverse class of neurons in the CNS, with some brain regions having 60+ distinct cell types. Do humans share the same repertoire as rodents? Birds? Fish? 1/13
NEW: We just published a deep dive into just how much billionaires are now dominating U.S. politics.
We found 300 billionaire families accounted for 19% of federal donations in 2024. The deluge was even larger in many state and local races.

Good instinct, I could see that
Sicklers match controls on task accuracy - have slower processing speed.
Executive networks rely on attention systems (dorsal vs ventral depending on disease severity) to compensate for lower oxygen delivery.
I'm unclear on what this means in daily life.
