I’m happy to share our new paper (with @mbartos.bsky.social) now out in Nature Neuroscience: "The dentate gyrus efficiently converges LEC and MEC inputs into multimodal, highly specific and reliable environmental representations" Download it @ rdcu.be/famDE More below 🧵

IN-CODE Symposium 2026: “Inhibitory neurons – from synapses & microcircuits to behavior”. Join us in Freiburg, Germany, on October 8–9, 2026!!! Learn more and register here: sfb-trr384.de/symposium/ #neuroscience #interneurons

‪Ever wondered how GABAergic interneurons shape cognition? The IN-CODE consortium's latest NeuroView article introduces a "population approach", shifting the focus from individual interneurons to cooperative networks. Dive into the future of interneuron research here: doi.org/10.1016/j.ne...

Please share! 🧠 Opportunity for a PhD position: Studying interneurons and memory, using cutting-edge techniques, such as patch-clamp electrophysiology, in vivo calcium imaging, optogenetics and behavioral experiments. Interested? Have a look here for more information: www.fens.org/careers/job-...

@in-code.bsky.social Visit our Mini-Symposium 36 ‚Experience-driven dynamics in cortical inhibition for learning and behavior‘ - Room 6CF, November 19, 2025, 9:30 am at SFN, San Diego. Our speakers: Lisa Topolnik, Silvia da Silva, Linlin Fan, Attila Losonczy, Amar Sahay, Marlene Bartos.

Now that the science days are over, I can happily share some of my designs :) Thanks to all the @in-code.bsky.social members who made these days a success! It was intense but worth it! And huge thanks to @sophiekb.bsky.social that was in charge of making this happen

To conclude the 2nd day at the science days 2025 at Europapark !

Our IN-CODE Female Scientist Retreat gathered neuroscientists for workshops, talks and discussions at the Kloster Frauenberg in Fulda & its serene garden. We thank our speakers Silvia Viana da Silva, Silvana Valtcheva, Marlene Bartos, SeongHee Cho, & Rahel Ehret for sharing knowledge and inspiration

Congrats to Aurore Gazala for winning the Eve Marder Best Paper Prize for “Subfield-specific interneuron circuits govern the hippocampal response to novelty in male mice” (Nat Comm, 2024) - awarded in person by Eve Marder at the IN-CODE retreat in Potsdam! @acazala.bsky.social #interneurons

Many thanks to the IN-CODE members and the SAB members Gyorgy Buzsaki, Alsion Barth, Francesco Ferraguti, Heiko Luhmann and Eve Marder, for attending our first retreat in Potsdam to discuss the role of inhibitory interneurons in shaping the cortical code. sfb-trr384.de/about/ in-code.bsky.social

🔬🤝🎨 Drawing over my 2photon recordings of axons in the dentate gyrus for our last picture contest ✨️

Enjoying the IN-Code retreat organized by @mbartos.bsky.social in beautiful Potsdam. Great talks about the impact of interneurons on the neural code. @uni-freiburg.de @biologyunifreiburg.bsky.social @uniklinik-fr.bsky.social #neuroscience #interneurons

Slow life as a scientist

Go check this impressive work from @olechsylte.bsky.social and @antjekilias.bsky.social ! 👇👇

Stable maps from drifting neurons: CA1 solves the "representational drift paradox" through coordinated population dynamics. New preprint w/ @antjekilias.bsky.social , Marlene Bartos and @jf-sauer.bsky.social showing that representational drift isn’t random—it’s structured to preserve information🧵👇

If you're into behavioral neuroscience and/or machine learning and looking for a postdoc, check this out - excellent lab and mentor! 👇
