Huge congrats to @Karyna_mi for her paper published today in @ScienceMagazine! She found that the hippocampus is really important for a key strategy we use to make decisions called hidden state inference! 🧪 🧠science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 1/7

New preprint out! We developed a behavioural platform for the kinematic analysis of skilled whole body behaviour. Very fun collaboration with Christopher Black, Liam Browne and Rob Brownstone.

Ethologically relevant behavioural assay for investigating reach and grasp kinematics during whole-body motor control in mice biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #biorxiv_neursci



looking forward to speaking at KCL on thursday!

This week we are excited to welcome @MacAskillAF @ucl who will present a seminar on Thursday. He will be hosted by @NEURekaSeminars, a group of PhD students and post-docs who organise informal and discussion-led events. All welcome, we look forward to seeing you there.

Come use a combination of neural network and reinforcement learning approaches to tease apart how the brain supports motor adaptation with us @Ian_Duguid, Angus Chadwick and @eckstein_maria 🧠🤸

Want to start your own lab at UCL? Then check out this opportunity. I went through the process a few years ago and can only recommend it! A fantastic place to do science, especially because of amazing colleagues and collaborators.

Applications are now open to join our fantastic department @uclbiosciences as a group leader fellow. Come start your independent group at (in our opinion) the best neuroscience department! reach out to @ibianco3 for more info!

Join our team! We're investigating how the visual cortex interacts with subcortical structures like the Superior Colliculus and Basal Ganglia to shape sensory processing and behavior in health and neurobehavioral disorders. 🔬👁️ #NeuroscienceJobs #Neuroresearch @uclnpp

Pleased to announce I've received an Early-Career Award from @wellcometrust. Excited to spend the next 5 years studying the neural circuit mechanisms for economic decision-making with @AnnDuan2 and @SWC_Neuro!

Congratulations to @omgauld on receiving a @wellcometrust Early-Career Award! Read the news: sainsburywellcome.org/web/research-n…
