Excited to share our recent article, now online in @nature. We studied a key frontal brain area, the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), and its role in learning and top-down cognitive control of sensory processing. go.nature.com/3gZRo82
Speaking tomorrow at the Learning & Memory section, Collective Dynamics and Information Processing in Neural Systems, #StatPhys29 workshop
Join us in Venice 🇮🇹 for the workshop on “Collective Dynamics & Information Processing in Neural Systems” 🧠, June 30 – July 2, 2025. Abstract deadline May 15! Featuring an incredible lineup of speakers: liphlab.github.io/NeuroStatPhys_…(@StefanoFusi2, @AthenaAkrami, D. Plentz as Keynote)
Very happy to see a Transmitter (@_TheTransmitter) piece on our recent work on estrous cycle modulation of hippocampal structure and function. Thanks to Sydney Wyatt (@sydney_elise44) for covering the work and its context: thetransmitter.org/neuroendocrino…
Fantastic new work from Simon Schultz's lab with Yan Gong at Suzhou Institute of Biomedical Engineering, by Mengke (now in my lab at @PharmOxford @QMULBartsTheLon). Have a look

Peter Somogyi gave an inspirational talk reflecting on his 50 years work on synapses and chronocircuits @PharmOxford. He started by saying.. "none of this (work) I present will change the world, but we provided facts & approaches for the future generation to make discoveries"
Delighted to join Trinity College Dublin's @tcddublin Neuroscience Day (a special 25th anniversary symposium) - a great community & wonderful to see some old friends. Lovely career summary talk on A-beta & plasticity by Prof. Michael Rowan, & a sneak peek of 'The Book of Kells'.
Sebastian Jessberger, Prof/Director of the Brain Research Institute @UZH_en 🇨🇭 gave a tour-de-force seminar on stem cells, adult-born neurons and ageing, kicking off the Trinity Term lecture series @PharmOxford. Students in the lab enjoyed spending quite a bit of time with him..

Jasper successfully defended his PhD thesis yesterday with examiners Tim Griffiths and Geoff Schoenbaum. The title of his thesis is 'Behavioural and neural correlates of flexible tactile learning' 👨🎓🔖 Congrats Jasper 🥂
Can we use brain scans to identify biologically distinct "autisms"? And If so, how? In our latest cross-species study 🐭👨we dive into these questions! Find out more here 👇👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Thread below 🧵 1/n
