Heads up - we will be advertising really soon for a research assistant to join the lab! Come join a brilliant crew using rodent cognitive tasks to understand how early life stress affects flexible behaviour! DM / email me. Ideal for a recent graduate wanting some lab experience.
New lab preprint! Congratulations Olivia @opedroncini and @NoelFederman for the great work. Lateral entorhinal cortex afferents reconfigure the activity in piriform cortex circuits biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We are recruiting postdoctoral fellows to study the neurobiology of collective behavior in schooling fish, using virtual reality and brain-wide imaging in Danionella. If you have experience in systems neuroscience and interest in neuroethology, please reach out (and share!)
Storytime! Please RT/share! I am hyped to share that my PhD work is now preprinted (also my 1st-1st author paper). It was quite a journey! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… It’s a story about binge eating and flavor, a short thread here: 1/n
Now recruiting! We are looking for 2 fab post-docs and 1 research technician who would like to help solve the great mysteries of sleep, at the brilliant SWC, in the splendid city of London. Please retweet / share with people you think might be interested! ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…
Excited to share our paper in @ScienceMagazine on how hormone-mediated neural remodelling drives parenting onset during pregnancy: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Congratulations to Nicolas Brunel!🎉 He receives the Valentin Braitenberg Award for #Computational #Neuroscience 2023. The award ceremony will take place during the #BernsteinConference. 👉bernstein-network.de/en/newsroom/ne… @DukeNeuro @DukeU @LandSuedtirol #BernsteinNetwork
