This is a great series - come and share your work at SWC!
Calling all neuroscience postdocs! Come and share your work with the London neuroscience community. No CVs, publication records or recommendation letters needed. Learn more about SWC’s Emerging Neuroscientists Seminar Series and apply by 10 July: sainsburywellcome.org/web/content/em…
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. 📅 13 May, 6pm 📍 SWC, London 🎟️ Register eventbrite.co.uk/e/film-screeni…

🤩 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!!!!
👏🏼 👏🏼
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/sc… 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. buff.ly/3YEdtRw #magicofchaos
Beautiful work
I’m happy to share my main PhD work now published! 🥳🥳🥳 We found that a salient emotional experience can be linked with a memory from days ago, and this linking occurs through co-activity of the two memory representations during a period of rest.
🌟 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) Read it here: nature.com/articles/s4158…
Agreed! This is truly amazing
This will be amongst the most important papers on olfaction and, frankly, “sensory” neuroscience.
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/10.110… 1/n
Are you working with in vivo optogenetics? Ever wondered what the impact of shining laser light within the brain in the absence of exogenous opsins has on neuronal activity? PLEASE SEE biorxiv.org/content/10.110… & READ 🧵👇 work done @SWC_Neuro, thx Mateo Velez-Fort & Troy Margrie
This is such an amazing PhD programme, taking students from around the world with diverse backgrounds and a passion for neuroscience. Apply and join SWC!

We are looking for postdocs funded by an ERC starting grant to investigate the mechanisms of cortical predictive learning! Opportunities to use in vivo whole cell recordings, 2-photon imaging VR for mice, and more. Please reach out if you are interested! elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…
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 nature.com/articles/s4158…
Check out our new work led by @NateZuk, co-supervused by @MeravAhissar & me -- an EEG study in a perceptual decision making task, showing how neural & beh responses to feedback are different in ASD biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Read this nice news piece too! sainsburywellcome.org/web/blog/autis…
A new @biorxivpreprint from Nathaniel Zuk, Yarden Weiss, @AthenaAkrami and @MeravAhissar explores whether reduced error monitoring could be a reliable biomarker for autism. Read the story: sainsburywellcome.org/web/blog/autis…
For fun holiday reading: what is the role of neocortex? The amazing @SaraMederos_ shows that a specific corticofugal pathway is crucial for learning to overwrite instinctive reactions. An epic study going from neural pathway down to synaptic mechanism! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Thank you @katejjeffery for noticing we forgot the link to the paper! 🤦🏻♀️ journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.11…
Delighted to share our recent work together with @JuliaJadeHarris, Deborah Schenider-Luftman and @AndreasTSchafer on a study to observe correlation between respiration in freely moving animals and brain recordings now published in #journalofNeurophysiology!
