My debut work as a neuroscientist is finally out! A massive thanks to @HamidRamezanpou and my supervisor Peter Thier for their support! Our paper talks about a special area in the brain that helps us control gaze-following:

neuroscience paper in 2045:

"we recorded 5 million neurons in V1 with Neuropixels 9.0 probes while head-fixed mice watched Gabor flickers..."

It's finally out, on Joe's last day in the lab before heading off to postdoc!

We asked whether a putative "social" brain area does anything unique with social cues when they're not used for any social reasoning. Turns out it does!

How Our Brain Deciphers Gaze Direction

A new study reveals how our brain detects gaze direction, with implications for diagnosing autism and Alzheimer's.

Great summary of our #Nature paper in @sciam. Thanks @LydiaDenworth #RobertSeyfarth “These are, quite frankly, extraordinary discoveries" & #MatthewRushworth “It is as if the neurons are keeping track of a register of social credit and debit.”

Hi all, if you're going to SFN, I'll be talking about "A cortical mechanism for eye-head-hand coordination: lateral prefrontal ‘gaze’ signals encode future head / hand motion during visually guided reach" NANO45, WCC150, 11/13/2023 2-2:15 PM.

And tomorrow: a bigger announcement!

🧪🎤The highlight of the Faculty Day was the #ScienceSlam. Seven young #scientists "dueled" in a competition of scientific short presentations by presenting their #research to the audience in a particularly creative way. 👏Congrats to the winner @Esteljevoor! 6/6 🧵

@HamidRamezanpou What about medical student research year vs. Phd? 😂😂

PhDs: what myths about academia did you used to believe?

[Ian Chong @Ian_Chongg]

What's that one paper you find yourself turning back to, no matter what? For me it's Emery (2000) - The eyes have it:

The marmoset hippocampus is a GPS, but G is for gaze 👇👇👇

Excited to finally be here! I'm a Phd student based in Germany, working on gaze-following in monkeys.
Watch this space for more on social cognitive research, science communication, and art!
