ALT Quote: "The community of neuroscientists is so incredible at SWC, and I wanted to come and share my work and ideas with them." Christopher Zimmerman, 2024 ENSS Speaker
Come join us at SWC for a movie night and the chance to talk to the stars! Incredibly inspiring people living with acquired brain injury, who are also volunteering to be asked lots of questions about their lived experience by neuroscientists. They'll be quizzing us in return 🍿🧠
Join us for a film screening and panel discussion of Headway East London’s The Magic of Chaos, a short documentary about brain injury, community, and new identities.

🤩 Wow! A @Pixar show on which I (wearing my sleep research hat) consulted, Dream Productions, has been released to the world early! Yesterday! I haven’t watched yet. Please watch 👀and tell me what you think. I’m so excited!!!!
ALT Dream Productions by Disney Pixar, from the world of Inside Out. At the studio inside Riley’s mind, a dream director faces a nightmare: creating the next hit Dream.

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! 🧪 🧠science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… 1/7
I am very lucky to have met some of the completely inspirational people in this film, and to have experienced the magical chaos at Headway. Working together on a project about memory was certainly one of the most memorable experiences of my life! @HeadwayELondon #braininjury
Watch @HeadwayELondon The Magic of Chaos, a film by Kit Vincent about #braininjury, community & new identities.
Discover how the transformative power of art, music, food and community can bring light to lives forever changed by brain injury.

🌟 Cai Lab @Nature paper alert! In new work led by @mysteriousjoe_, we find that rest periods after learning not only stabilize new memories BUT ALSO integrate new memories with older ones from days past! (1/9)

Thrilled to share the first preprint from the lab! We find that mouse V1 contains a three-dimensional map of visual space with different populations of neurons responding to near and far visual cues! Led by @yiran25_ with @populusalba9 and @ant_blot. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 1/n

What is the nature of sensory prediction error signals in the neocortex?
Our research published in @Nature reveals that these error signals are amplified responses to unexpected inputs, mediated by a cooperative thalamocortical circuit mechanism! 1/4
