Very excited to share in pre-print my pdoc work on the neural basis of context-dependent foraging decisions in mice: https://t.co/gDreHyGhBs

I will also be presenting this project at SfN - please come by poster QQ6 on Monday 11/17 morning to learn more and/or chat! 🙏

[Laura Grima @LauraGrimaNeuro]

The first preprint of my postdoc with @jtdudman
is now online! Here we wanted to understand the algorithms mice use when learning to forage in large environments with many potential resources. 1/n https://t.co/2LHb6TMnbr

Sarah Marzen and I are hosting a session on "The Physics of Learning and Adaptation" at the APS March Meeting in 2025. Abstract submissions due Oct 25th (https://t.co/5oHSVC7toT). We hope to have a solid list of speakers from both biological physics and machine learning.

@SfNtweets: PLEASE-PLEASE!! archive and post SFN 2024 talks for all to hear (maybe youtube)? Beyond your November 10 view date is fine. I've listened to just 3/24 talks (by @ruimcosta, @Datta_Lab, @eabuffalo) and all are transformative; everyone should hear (not paywalled).

1/7: We are excited that our paper "Single-neuron representations of odours in the human brain" was published today in @Nature.

As #SfN24 kicks off, here is some guidance to help you get the most out of it—plus a request for principal investigators to train students in “soft skills.”

look at all these weird little guys

A beautiful first day at Friday Harbor! We are excited to explore the datasets and the islands 🧠🌞

Happy 10th birthday to the Summer Workshop on the Dynamic Brain!

Students are diving into brain anatomy in the morning and the harbor in the evening

[Jean-Paul Noel @JP__NOEL]

Add for post-doc position in my lab at @UMNeurosci. Please apply or forward to anyone you think maybe interested!!

We lost comrade @DrZJHall to cancer on April 23, 2024. Your incredible spirit of kindness and joy will never be forgotten, and we'll continue what you strive for. https://t.co/m3rwnLC4dA

@PessoaBrain Did you join our journal club this morning or is this just a crazy coincidence?

[Jessica Kendall-Bar @jmkendallbar]

This nuanced review of neuroscience research from lab to field, discusses the value of research in the wild AnD controlled lab experiments- it’s about finding the right setting for your question. Thank you @neuroetho for your kind words about our study.

[Kate Nave @KathrynNave]

I spoke to philosopher and former neuroscientist, M. Chirimuuta about her book 'The Brain Abstracted'

It's essential reading for understanding the limitations of what neuroscience can tell us about ourselves and is now available for *free* @mitpress

[Columbia University's Zuckerman Institute @ZuckermanBrain]

What if you and your friends could see through each other’s eyes all at once? Today in @Nature, our own Nate Sawtell and Federico Pedraja reveal that elephantnose fish might really do this kind of group sensing with their electro-location sensory system:

[Scott Sterrett @sterrett_sc]

From Kacelnik's scissors to Elephant-nose fish's Schnauzenorgan, this was a wonderful exploration of foraging across the animal kingdom. Thanks to the organizers @FoF_seminars and Janelia!

[Janelia Conferences @janeliaconf]

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 'Bridging Diverse Perspectives on the Mechanistic Basis of Foraging' conference here @HHMIJanelia!

At @CosyneMeeting #Cosyne2024 and feeling jet lagged? Need a chill sesh at the main meeting before the parties pop off?

Get some SLEAP at the main tutorial on Thu, Feb 29 at 12:30pm and learn about *pose tracking on easy mode* via https://t.co/Ue7pccGw1O! 😻

[Chris Rodgers @chrisXrodgers]

1/7 First #preprint from my lab just posted! Team effort from the entire lab - think of it as our debut. New behavior to ask how hearing is integrated with free movement of the whole body. Mice surprisingly resilient to #hearingloss, in an unexpected way https://t.co/j7Tbk8QjZH

[Anna Gillespie @ak_gillespie]

The Gillespie lab is looking for a tech to join our team in Seattle! Help us build some cool automated maze environments to study the neural mechanisms of memory impairment in aging and Alzheimer's disease! Details here: https://t.co/HEpSgOq0sd
