Happy to share the final project of my PhD, a great collaboration between @CitriAmi and @LabNir labs! Pre-print is now out:
biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
We found a role for a particular set of neurons in the mouse claustrum in regulating engagement.
Details below!
Rockstars! Love this
Teaching in Taconic and Sing Sing has been a real privilege, and doing so with @TessaMontague is a joy. Read more in the link below!

Teaching incarcerated students is much like teaching any students, write @Columbia scientists @TessaMontague and @shaish0. Learn more about their experience teaching neuroscience at Sing Sing on

The perceived motion of a stationary floor, resulting in a loss of balance.
Possibly a "visual-vestibular conflict." when the visual system interprets moving patterns as motion, while the vestibular system does not detect corresponding motion cues

So obviously we’re not good at predicting what impacts research will have.
I also don’t think it should be just about dollars and lives. Discovery feeds our curiosity as humans, inspires art & science, and reminds us why we explore in the first place.
That wonder has value too.

A PhD position is open in my lab for those interested in studying the neuronal basis of visual perception - utilising virtual reality for mice, optogenetics, and in vivo imaging methods. See the following link for further information: findaphd.com/phds/project/as…

Reading the headlines about the war in the middle east can make you feel hopeless.
But a few neuroscientists are trying to build bridges between young Muslims and Jews.
Here is the story of NeuroBridges 2024.

The Ruediger Lab at @ucl is expanding, with a postdoc position available, & my colleague Dan Bendor at the IBN also has an exciting role opening up. Passionate about in vivo Ephys/2p-Imaging, mouse behavior & circuit interactions? Happy to chat about opportunities at SfN!

come and join our team in Spain! we are looking for a researcher with a quantitative background to study the neurocompulational logic underlying visual attention-distractor networks
The lab led by @KardamakisAndre is seeking a researcher to explore the neurocomputational mechanisms of biological visual attention and distractor networks at the @NeuroAlc
Open to candidates with an MSc, PhD, or equivalent experience.

How exactly does breathing calm us? @aexolowski found that slower breathing may reduce anxiety by changing brain activity. Her research earned her this year’s UCSF Postdoc Slam hosted by @ucsfgraddiv & @ucsf_postdocs! tiny.ucsf.edu/fVDT8x

Seeing the Future: Anticipatory Eye Gaze as a Marker of Memory
We developed a NO-REPORT paradigm for studying episodic-like memory for events occurring at specific places and times @YaminEtAl @FlavioSchmidig @omerxsharon @CharanRanganath

New preprint post! We show that motor commands in the superior colliculus shift the internal representation of heading during REM sleep despite the immobility of sleeping mice. Thus, the brain simulates actions and their consequences during REM sleep.🧵1/7

A whole new world of pupil fluctuations during human sleep just opened up. Exciting possibilities ahead!
So excited 🤩 … in 'stealth mode' > 6 yr
We combine SWIR imaging & data analysis for touchless continuous tracking of human #gaze direction & #pupil size in CLOSED EYES
Paper 👇validates technology; next: towards clinical use #ICU #anesthesia #sleep

Finally published!
Shout out to all the great people of the Citri lab involved over the years, esp. @IditYvgi , @NoaRivlin and our amazing collaborators from TAU @NMatosevich, Noam Zelinger, @LabNir for their heroic commitment!
So much more still to uncover!

I'm excited to share the publication of @GalAtlan 's final PhD project.
Title is accurate for the take-home message, yet, there is a lot more to the paper, including the association of claustrum activity to individual variance in strategy. Check it out:

Thrilled to announce that I will start my lab at Northwestern University @NUFeinbergMed @Neuroscience_NU @NuinComm in January 2025!!
My lab will study circuit mechanisms for active vision and dream perception, using behaving/sleeping mice. sites.northwestern.edu/senza…
