Proud to share our paper in @Nature that Andrei and I co-first authored with @TFlogel @SWC_Neuro We recorded ~15000 neurons across the brain while mice made perceptual decisions to reveal how sensory evidence controls actions through global neural dynamics nature.com/articles/s4158…

Thrilled to see our work published in Science today! Grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with an amazing team at @SonjaBHofer Lab and @SWC_Neuro . Years of effort went into this project—excited for what’s ahead! :)

“Where was I again?” Our study published today nature.com/articles/s4158… reveals brain cells can form a coordinate system for our behaviours. Instead of locating where we are in the world, this coordinate system tells us “where we are” in a sequence of behaviours: 🧵below:

📢 Opportunity Alert! We have two open PhD positions in our lab at @PDN_Cambridge starting in Autumn 2025. Exceptional candidates may have the opportunity to join earlier as RAs and receive PhD funding if scholarship applications are unsuccessful. Advert: keshavarzilab.com/blog/phd-posit…

Come by our poster today at SfN (board U7). I’ll be there all afternoon to take you through our findings showing a frontal corticostriatal mechanism for cognitive control of sensorimotor transformations.

Come and hear about our research! Today, @LohseNeuro, @lijingjiepoi and Yaara Lefler are all presenting posters at #SfN24

Will you be at #SfN24? Stop by our posters and talks! Stay tuned for more details 👀 @SfNtweets

Here it is! A huge milestone in neuroscience – the complete connectome of the fly brain from the FlyWire team (@FlyWireNews). In this special issue, we have 9 research articles. I’ll try to summarize them in a couple threads starting here 🧵

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…

@ShoheiFurutachi's heroic study on sensory prediction errors in visual cortex is out at @Nature now, including a lot more exciting data: nature.com/articles/s4158…

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
