Finally published! With @JeremieSibille and @gehrcaro pnas.org/doi/abs/10.107…

What are serotonin neurons trying to tell the brain? Our work on the question has been so much fun (@JCBeique , @JermiahYCohen, @grossmancooper ). Check out @efharkin_ 's exciting paper biorxiv.org/content/10.110… nature.com/articles/s4158…

Excited to see our paper featured in Current Biology, alongside a commentary article highlighting its significance! Grateful for the recognition and looking forward to the discussions it inspires. Read more here: cell.com/current-biolog…

Excited to share our new paper in @CurrentBiology! 🚀📄 "Retinal direction of motion is reliably transmitted to visual cortex via highly selective thalamocortical connections" cell.com/current-biolog…

🧠👂🫰Our paper on the limitations of other sensory modalities to influence a sensory cortex is out today! 🎉 cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

We grieve the passing of Dr. Yves Frégnac. Yves has shaped the study of cortical processing and plasticity. He heralded interdisciplinarity and was one of the founding fathers of our institute. Our thoughts go to his family and to his friends in the community and beyond. pic.twitter.com/BGE4QGcg8g

How 1% FSIs in the striatum may shape the striatal function: 1. they control across-trial variability 2. they give rise to a correlation attractor. Functional consequences of fast-spiking interneurons in striatum biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Reactivate lost learning abilities in old age? New study by @LabVallentin shows how adult zebra finches can learn new songs beyond their critical period by manipulating inhibitory neurons! Find out more: bi.mpg.de/news/2024-09-v… Art by @mulesome

🚨Pls retweet!🚨 Barnstedt Lab is going live at the University of Magdeburg! We have 2 fully-funded job openings to study the neural circuits of memory and action using in vivo optical tools. Come join us! 🔬🐭❇️🏃💭 Postdoc: ovgu.b-ite.careers/jobposting/763… PhD: ovgu.b-ite.careers/jobposting/c89…

Thanks to fellow organisers @GjorJulijana Mark Harnett @YiotaPoirazi and all attendees for making the @EMBO dendrites meeting a fantastic and inspiring meeting

Congrats to amazing first authors @mkorympidou Sarah Strauss 🎉 We study how a diverse class of inhibitory neurons contribute to color processing in the retina 📢Key finding: They balance biased color signals biorxiv.org/content/10.110… W/ @AnnaIntegrated @teulerlab @CellTypist

You have to check out the super cool study by @MazoCamille @leo_petreanu about how inputs from A1 to V1 encode sound location information! Elegant and smart design, elegant methods, super smart people …. Here you go: nature.com/articles/s4146…

🐦🐦🐦Disinhibition enables vocal repertoire expansion after a critical period in birds🐦🐦🐦 @songbirdbrain Ezequiel Mendoza @koparkanya26 @LabVallentin biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

How do birds learn their distinctive songs? A new review by @LabVallentin gives a comprehensive overview of the different sensory and neural mechanisms that influence song learning and vocal communication in a wide range of songbirds: doi.org/10.1016/j.conb… Art by @mulesome

1/n The best understood parts of thalamus link our skin, tongue, eyes, ears to cerebral cortex. What does the rest of thalamus do? Gordon Petty now shows that secondary “tactile” and “visual” thalamus respond better to important events than their own senses! (Image SG Kene) 🧵
