Very excited to share that the Batista-Brito lab recently got a Whitehall Foundation and a NARSAD grant! We are recruiting postdocs interested in studying neonatal cortical development using cutting-edge in vivo strategies. We encourage minorities to apply. Please RT!

Such a nice summary figure of our paper 🤩🤩

A newly identified activity in the brain that occurs while we sleep—a barrage of action potentials, or a BARR—plays a crucial role in rebalancing the hippocampal neural network during memory consolidation. 📄: scim.ag/879 #SciencePerspective: scim.ag/87a

Eager to share isoCycle! If interested in neural dynamics across timescales, it might be worth exploring isoCycle: A Deep Network-Based Decoder for Isolating Single Cycles of Neural Oscillations in Spiking Activity github.com/esiabri/isoCyc… Huge thanks @BatistaBritoLab more👇

Check out our latest paper with @matteosaponati, who proposes a way to understand synaptic credit assignment and spike-time-dependent-plasticity based on predictive learning and sequence anticipation

I am thrilled that, finally, our paper “Sequence anticipation and spike-timing-dependent plasticity emerge from a predictive learning rule” is now freely available @NatureComms nature.com/articles/s4146… We got motivated by the following questions (↓) [1/10]

@Spiegel_Lab gave compelling evidence that Hebbian disturbances short term lead to long term homeostatic changes in activity dependent changes. Activity-dependent plasticity comes down to two fundamental mechanisms linking over time. Nice stuff!

Very excited to get this work led by @LeenaAIbrahim and Brie Wamsley out in eLife. It does a lovely job showing how Nova2 mediates alternative splicing in somatostatin interneurons. doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

For those of you who may have missed it, here is a new paper on the surprisingly selective connectivity of cortical somatostatin cells that we just published in @NeuroCellPress ! @JJSherryWU @elaine_sevier authors.elsevier.com/a/1hKi6_KOmxJl…

We're looking for a research assistant for next year. It's an ideal position for a grad who wants a bit of research experience in circuit & system neuro as a bridge to MSc/PhD course applications. It will be very hands-on - patching, lasers etc. Please RT findajob.dwp.gov.uk/details/124936…

Now out @CurrentBiology. Our work using calcium imaging to study visual processing in the octopus brain! cell.com/current-biolog…

Very excited to share our new preprint on visual processing in the octopus! Led by Judit Pungor @traceofpink, together with @jsongco_ and @climbing_octo, we measured the functional organization of visual responses in the octopus brain. 🐙👁️ biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/n



Congratulations to @GeoffreyTerral and all the other #leonlevyscolars. I am so excited for working with Geoffrey on his postdoc project. Geoffrey is an amazing and inspiring scientist and is a great honor to have him in my team. bit.ly/42As4xi

Updated version of new work by @kt_ferguson and several other lab folks! Cortical VIP cells aren't just for disinhibition or state-dependent modulation, they also regulate size tuning and have a context-dependent role in visual perception. 🔬🐭🧠biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
