🥳Super pumped to share our latest collaboration with @EmilieMaceLab and Stuart Trenholm.
We show how visual objects specifically recruit neurons in the spatial navigation system, especially in the head-direction network, suggesting a specific circuit to detect landmarks 1/

@dlevenstein Around the neck or my belly button, that’s the question

[Adrien Peyrache 🪐😴⚡️ @apeyrache]

This is beyond awesome

Public repository for code and data - https://t.co/kWrpy6V5NC, for our preprint "Classification of psychedelics and psychoactive drugs based on brain-wide imaging of cellular c-Fos expression"

PS: much issues with CodeOcean for peer review.. Now it is on @github too. 👨‍💻👩‍💻

[Tim Behrens @behrenstimb]

Early days, but it looks like our authors don't think we need an impact factor either! Submissions are strong in numbers and high quality since the Clarivate announcement. We should not let a multibillion dollar company dictate how science is evaluated!

[Tom George @TomNotGeorge]

What are the brain’s “real” tuning curves?

Our new preprint "SIMPL: Scalable and hassle-free optimisation of neural representations from behaviour” argues that existing techniques for latent variable discovery are lacking.

We suggest a much simpl-er way to do things.

Opening remarks by @apeyrache for @ReseauSommeilQC 's first mini-retreat on wearable technologies!
Looking forward to hearing from experts in the community from Quebec and elsewhere on the present and future of sleep technologies.#sleeppeeps

[Adrien Peyrache 🪐😴⚡️ @apeyrache]

Super proud of Nour Chahine @nouroscience, PhD student in the lab, and recipient of a prestigious Vanier Scholarship.

[Adrien Peyrache 🪐😴⚡️ @apeyrache]

@RochefortLab @sidb_edinburgh @ZPadamsey @osterlab @KatsanevakiD @ManuelaRizzi Congrats Nathalie ! Super cool

[Adrien Peyrache 🪐😴⚡️ @apeyrache]

@christlet @WiringTheBrain Yes yes… you’re right. But perhaps we need to be more proactive in interacting with the public, commenting on posts outside our communities, challenging false claims, etc. I don’t have an easy solution, but we need to do something.

[Adrien Peyrache 🪐😴⚡️ @apeyrache]

I agree with @WiringTheBrain. Leaving X entirely and creating an echo chamber elsewhere may not be the best solution.

We need to engage with the public more than ever and cultivate critical thinking.
I’ll stay on both for now.

[Kevin Mitchell @WiringTheBrain]

My take on scientists leaving Twitter/X: It's great to see communities really developing on other platforms and there are lots of good reasons to boycott this place... 1/n

[Adrien Peyrache 🪐😴⚡️ @apeyrache]

@DavidCRowland @WiringTheBrain I know… unfortunately, I don’t have a solution. But at least, we should not close any doors.

[Adrien Peyrache 🪐😴⚡️ @apeyrache]

@evan_mcgl @WiringTheBrain Absolutely

[Adrien Peyrache 🪐😴⚡️ @apeyrache]

@dlevenstein I don’t give X much time. It seems to be moving super fast.

[Adrien Peyrache 🪐😴⚡️ @apeyrache]

@SChenlab @denisejcai Simon the smuggler.

[Adrien Peyrache 🪐😴⚡️ @apeyrache]

@denisejcai @Nature @mysteriousjoe_ @SinaiBrain Congrats for the paper! post it on blue sky now ;)

[ReseauSommeilQc @ReseauSommeilQC]
