First whole-brain recording of social sound processing in a vertebrate. Surprises start in the hindbrain; thalamus gates conspecific calls; male and female brains diverge downstream. Work by @joerghenninger.bsky.social, @mh123.bsky.social sky.social and team. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Weβre excited that the @fens.org Forum 2028 is coming to #Glasgow, with the BNA as host society. We look forward to welcoming neuroscientists from across Europe and beyond to Scotland.
Neuroscience, collaboration, and a Glasgow welcome - and yes, the ceilidh shoes may be required!
Drawing of the "Aeon" project, an open-source platform to study the neural basis of ethological behaviours over naturalistic timescales.
Are you a neuroscientist with great coding skills, or a software engineer interested in the brain?
We are recruiting for a research software engineer to help us build pipelines to process weeks of neural and behavioural recordings from freely moving animals.

π£ postdoc and senior scientist opportunities with a wonderful mentor at the Crick. Amazing place to do connectomics.
Latest from the lab: Laura Haetzel finds that excitatory transmission from auditory thalamus to tail of striatum is accompanied by a sparse inhibitory projection. This allows for state-dependent control of striatal output.

DM me if you will be in San Diego at SfN and want to talk about it. Please share.
Oh, it didnβt even occur to me, then Mr. J. Schmack would have made a true demonstration of love π
Was Mr. J. Schmack ever on the table? I never understood why anyone would change their name in the middle of their life (unless they don't identify with it). The expectation that women should do it seems very backward to me.
come join our dept as a fellow - and join a fantastic crew of people using interdisciplinary approaches to investigate the brain across scales - from molecules to behaviour. reach out if you have any Qs!
Proud to have contributed to @gaiabianchini.bsky.social and @flor-iacaruso.bsky.social new paper on how the superior colliculus temporally integrates multisensory information
