It is my pleasure to share this press article from @HorizonMagEU, on my work at the Csicsvari Lab, with a little teaser for what is coming :)). This work was supported by a MSCA-IF (@MSCActions) I got in 2019

🚨First preprint from the lab!! All credit goes to @cesca_gst & @HernyMV who co-led this project. https://t.co/5eqppysezR
We show that movement-related striatal dopamine signals encode an action prediction error, a value free teaching signal.

Delighted to share my main post-doc work in the KlausbergerLab - Very thankful for all the support. Future choice prediction during gambling, timed PFC inactivation & more on feedback integration. With @Hualmavi @GordFishell https://t.co/3bNawHsCD0
Postdoctoral position available in my lab at Nottingham, for in silico study of dopamine's control of basal ganglia dynamics - and the lack of control in Parkinson's disease.
Deadline: November 7th

Is your brain getting enough sleep? Almost certainly not according to our study of sleep and cognition in 40,000 people, out today and freely available here: https://t.co/BJJaavsKS5
A paper that Dr. Heather More and I have been working on for a long time has just come out today in @RoyalSociety’s Proceedings B: https://t.co/DqzAhyRq0j. It quantifies reflex delays in animals that range in size from shrews to elephants, and discusses the implications. THREAD!
Just published a blog post: "Thalamus Snubbed: How an overlooked part of the brain may be essential to understanding intelligence" @Numenta
(Inspired by @markdhumphries, I tried to make it accessible to a general audience but still true to the science.)

@AllenInstitute The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence! Can we really be so sure they aren't found in other species? Still, a relevant and exciting discovery!
Just one night of bad #sleep has a surprising, striking and disruptive impact:
—β-Amyloid in the #brain accumulates
