Multiple brain areas synchronize their activity to help a rodent accumulate the evidence it needs to make a choice, two new studies suggest.

Just got back from the @AllenInstitute ās SWDBā24. It was intense, challenging & absolutely worth it! Truly amazed by how much can be uncovered when brilliant minds come together. Cracking the brainās code was never a solo gig. A big thanks to the incredible organizers & TAs! š§

Very excited to announce the first release of NeMoS (NEural MOdelS) a package for neural data analysis that supports GPU acceleration. Check out our tutorials and try it on your data now!

TENSS is almost here, but weāre still short on funds. Every contribution matters, no matter how small!
We need your help for TENSS to carry on and inspire the next generations of neuroscientists. Logistics costs have increased and funding sources are becoming scarcer. We are counting on support from the community. Please donate and spread the word!

In this new blog, I write about:
1. All that's wrong in academiaāincluding bad papers, broken peer-review, the publishing industry, and precarious contracts.
2. How important it is *not* to become a cynic.
3. And my personal antidotes to cynicism creep.

First lab research paper! We explored insula's activity patterns (the infamous "manifold"). We found very consistent manifold structure and dynamics, allowing decoding across different mice and different motivations. Check it out, feedback welcome! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/ā¦

We are excited to present a Brain-Wide Map of neural activity during a complex decision-making behavior, a product of the monumental effort of 22 labs: 547 Neuropixels recordings in 267 brain regions from 115 mice collected in 11 labs š (1/8)

1/6 What keeps our visual perception stable across sustained time durations, despite a dramatic reduction in neuronal activity?
We are pleased to share our work that has just been published in Cell Reports sciencedirect.com/science/arā¦ suggesting a plausible answer to this question.

Itās with a heavy heart that Iām announcing the shutdown of lab operations for the foreseeable future which coincidentally has nothing to do whatsoever with the release of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Thanks to all lab members for their understanding during this difficult time.

Unpopular opinion: I always feel uneasy when people are using folk psychology terms like "thinking" to interpret behavior of rodents. Their brains are so different from ours, how do we even know "What it is like to be a rat", to paraphrase Thomas Nagel?

Submissions are now open for the 2023 TENSS edition! Please submit your application @ tenss.ro/apply/index.php
PS: spread the word!

Thanks to new tools, we can now record simultaneously from large populations of neurons that span many brain regions. But which approaches should we use for our experiments? How do we make sense of the data? And what kinds of new biological questions can we answer? (1/6)

1/5 We are pleased to share our new preprint titled āPerceptual stability reflected in neuronal pattern similarities in human visual cortexā by @rotembroday Broday-Dvir et al biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/ā¦.

Last two weeks were a blast! @bdxneuroschool Summer School 'Introduction to experimental neuroscience' is now over but new connections, learned techniques, improved patience, curiosity and motivation will stay for long.
One more exciting step into the world of neuroscience!

Itās out! First tweet and first paper in PhD! Check out our work on the role of the corpus callosum in mediating state-dependent interhemispheric correlations published @NatureComms led together by @yonkatz and yours truly at the @Lampl_Lab.
