fantastic opportunity to join the lab of our amazing new Group Leader @RuedigerSarah in investigating the neuronal basis of visually guided behaviour!

[Andrew MacAskill @MacAskillAF]

Highly recommend @RuedigerSarah lab - asking really exciting and important qs about how we convert sensation to decision making - using all the most fun tech! I did both PhD and postdoc in a new lab - its an amazing environment to do great science with amazing mentorship. apply!!

new paper published in @ScienceMagazine from @MacAskillAF in @uclnpp @uclbiosciences @UCLLifeSciences. How mice make decisions using hidden state inference.

[Andrew MacAskill @MacAskillAF]

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! 🧪 🧠https://t.co/6RgR5Iu6FL 1/7

[UCL Neuroscience @uclnpp]

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!

@uclnpp
Exciting new publication from David Attwell and colleagues @uclnpp @stevens1lab promising new therapeutic directions for Alzheimer’s disease by targeting pericytes

[UCL Neuroscience @uclnpp]

Congrats to @KorteNils in Attwell lab for their exciting new paper in @NatureNeuro - they find that treating Alzheimers disease model mice with a calcium channel blocker alleviates many of the key symptoms associated with brain blood flow and hypoxia. https://t.co/NxvRgOZwBK

Watch the fantastic Tara Keck from @uclnpp @uclbiosciences discuss concerns about supporting an ageing population with @unfpaeecaro

[UNFPA in Eastern Europe & Central Asia @unfpaeecaro]

“There are understandably some concerns about supporting an ageing population, which we should proactively address” – Tara Keck, @uclnpp professor

[Sarah Ruediger @RuedigerSarah]

My lab @uclnpp is looking for an experimentalist to join our growing team. Keen on 2p-imaging 🔬 or Ephys in🐁to study the neuronal substrate underlying visually guided behavior? Get in touch & let's develop a #postdoc project together for the #MSCA 2024 fellowship call. 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬

[Andrew MacAskill @MacAskillAF]

Huge congrats to the amazing @Karyna_mi for her new paper! She found that mice need the ventral hippocampus to perform hidden state inference while performing a 2-armed bandit task. 1/4

huge congratulations to David Attwell, the Jodrell Professor of Physiology at @uclnpp @uclbiosciences who will deliver the John Mallet Purser public lecture this year! details below:

[Mark Cunningham @markcnewry]

Delighted to announce that the 2024 John Mallet Purser Public lecture will be delivered by Prof. David Attwell FRS @uclnpp who will address the decrease of cerebral blood flow & demyelination that occurs in Alzheimer's disease @TCDPhysiology @TrinityMed1 @TCINeuroscience @tbsi

[Andrew MacAskill @MacAskillAF]

could not be happier i set up my lab here - please consider applying if you are looking to move your lab to london! email / dm with any questions!

[UCL Neuroscience @uclnpp]

congratulations to Trevor Smart, who has been awarded an honorary Fellowship of the British Pharmacological Society! The award highlights his world-leading contributions to Pharmacology and in particular for his research on the GABA-A receptor and brain inhibition

[ibianco @ibianco3]

If you're looking to start your own research group, NPP is a great place to do it. Our current round of group leader fellowship sponsorship is open, so apply now (deadline 5 Jan). @uclnpp #sciencejobs @ucl

Why does #brain asymmetry exist? What might happen if that asymmetry were lost?
@uclcdb's Stephen Wilson & @uclnpp's Isaac Bianco hope to provide some answers, using #zebrafish, supported by @wellcometrust's Discovery Research Awards
