Excited to this one out! Congrats @dlevenstein.bsky.social for this super cool study and the characterization of neuronal “ground states”.

With this one in print, I think I finally earned that PhD... 😅 Presented for the first time at the cosyne when the world ended (March 2020). I'll bring over a summary thread from twitter when it was still twitter... www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I fell for it the very first day I recorded an HD cell ensemble. I remember like it was yesterday (13 years ago!). I can even still recall exactly where I had dinner and with whom on that day, thanks to your PhD paper @adrian-du.bsky.social :p www.nature.com/articles/nat...

I don't think I'll ever get bored of looking at raster plots of head-direction cells 🤩

Spiking of head-direction cells in the postsubiculum during movement (top) and during the transition from non-REM to REM sleep (bottom). Cells are sorted and colour-coded according to their preferred directions.

Cutting down on cable management. Makes sense.

New paper alert! 🚨 We found that the brain's compass is remarkably stable at two scales 1️⃣ the system maintains its internal organization for weeks 2️⃣ It "remembers" its orientation for weeks, even after a single visit This may be key to how the brain aligns its other maps. Paper: rdcu.be/e3waP

Revealing a universal architecture of sleep by recording from different (and evolutionary distant) species. How cooler can it be??? Congrats to @antbergel.bsky.social and PA Libourel for this masterpiece.

⚠️ New paper alert and what a way to end 2025! 🎉 Happy to share our story “Sleep-dependent infraslow rhythms are evolutionarily conserved across reptiles and mammals.” published today in Nature Neuroscience. Sleeping dragons 🦎 and functional ultrasound! Read the full paper here: rdcu.be/eWJHb 1/8

Great read by @alexkwan.bsky.social on how fundamental neuroscience research has paved the way for new drug development. I’d also highlight orexin’s role in sleep–wake regulation and the upcoming wave of dual orexin receptor antagonists (DORAs) for sleep disorders (& soon agonists for narcolepsy).

A growing list of medications—such as zuranolone for postpartum depression, suzetrigine for pain, and the gepants class of migraine medicines—exist because of insights from basic research, writes @alexkwan.bsky.social. www.thetransmitter.org/drug-develop... #neuroskyence

Adrien Peyrache @apeyrache.bsky.social · 8mo ago

We all screw up from times to times when reviewing. It’s frustrating for the authors, sure, but the planet keeps rotating. A strong paper will find its readers and its citations anyway. This is a great example.

Konrad Kording@kordinglab.bsky.social · 8mo ago

How I contributed to rejecting one of my favorite papers of all times, Yes, I teach it to students daily, and refer to it in lots of papers. Sorry. open.substack.com/pub/kording/...

Adrien Peyrache @apeyrache.bsky.social · 8mo ago

An AI agent, run by collaborators on another continent, generated equations that explain the dynamics of the neurons we recorded 🤯 Finally had the time to read the paper after post-SfN recovery. The approach is v cool, & the Gaussian parametrization feels almost embarrassingly obvious in hindsight.

This important study provides new insights into the synchronization of ripple oscillations in the hippocampus, both within and across hemispheres. While power is correlated across hemispheres, synchrony is significantly higher within a hemisphere than across. doi.org/10.7554/eLif...

I am recruiting graduate students for the experimental side of my lab @mcgill.ca for admission in Fall 2026! Get in touch if you're interested in how brain circuits implement distributed computation, including dopamine-based distributed RL and probabilistic representations.

Henry Denny @hdennyneuro.bsky.social · 9mo ago

Arrived in San Diego for my first SfN, looking forward to showing you all my work with @apeyrache.bsky.social ; untangling the contribution of inhibition to the thalamic head direction attractor 💍 Come see me tonight at the TPDA poster session or on Tuesday morning with the lab! #SfN25

Dan Levenstein @dlevenstein.bsky.social · 9mo ago

Will be presenting a poster on @apeyrache.bsky.social row, Tues AM, with an update our sequential predictive learning preprint: -CA3-like (sparse lognormal) connectivity gives a hippocampus-like (orthogonalized) map -non-spatial representation! splitters, lap/time cells, action plan…we got it all🤑

Five-star hydrotherapy for hardware that costs more than my car. We recycle our probes many many times, even after chronic implants, saving $$$. Happy to share the protocol. (And yes, I don’t have a car).

The Sosa Lab is going to #SfN25 and actively recruiting ✨postdocs✨ with systems neuroscience experience! We study both fundamental memory processes and how memory changes during pregnancy and postpartum. If you are interested in meeting at SfN, please email me! www.sosaneurolab.com/join/postdoc...

We are seeking postdocs to start in 2026!

Great study showing how histaminergic signaling shapes head-direction cell activity in the presence of objects, with important implications for how animals get oriented. A huge amount of work, really impressive. www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-7...

A Neuromodulatory Circuit Amplifies Object-based Head-direction Tuning for Spatial Memory

While the head-direction (HD) system is well-established as the brain’s internal compass, the mechanisms that allow it to be flexibly shaped by landmarks have remained unclear. Here we discovered that...
