Don't miss @clairesturgill.bsky.social's poster (C-18, Wednesday 9:30) - our only representative at @cogcompneuro.bsky.social!

Claire Sturgill@clairesturgill.bsky.social · 3d ago

I'm very excited to present a poster (C-18, Wednesday 9:30) at #CCN2026, describing neural signatures of internal decision-making in the monkey vlPFC. If you want to learn more about how sensory value influences percept selection, come check it out!

🚨New preprint doi.org/10.64898/2026.06.07.730682. We show that zebrafish larvae exhibit complex, internally generated, spontaneous behavioral patterns in the absence of stimuli. These dynamics can be described by a simple Markov process with transition probabilities that change over time.

We congratulate @matthijspals.bsky.social on his successful PhD defense! During his time in the Mackelab, he used RNNs to link neural activity with underlying mechanisms. Now he moved on to a Postdoc position in @durstewitzlab.bsky.social at the ZI Mannheim and the University of Heidelberg.

🌐 🐟️ In a VR study, a team including @zwitscherarmin.bsky.social discovered that what zebrafish see during early life stages influences their eye development and alters their behaviour. Read the whole story 👉️ bernstein-network.de/en/newsroom/... @uni-konstanz.de #BernsteinNetwork #CompNeuro 🧠 📈

➡️ ⬅️ Convergent evolution of mechanisms for spatial navigation Researchers led by Bernstein member Andreas Herz (#BCCNMunich, @lmu.de) reveal that zebrafish and fruit flies share the same internal compass mechanism. Read the whole story 👉️ bernstein-network.de/en/newsroom/...

🎙️ Episode 1 of our new podcast on the history of computational neuroscience is live — about the one and only Valentino Braitenberg. Timed with our ongoing Braitenberg Symposium 🧠 🎧Up now here: www.tuebingen.mpg.de/290502/Brait... On Spotify etc: coming this week! #neuroscience #podcast #scihist

New research using a virtual reality for zebrafish reveals that the developing biology of the eye is influenced by the surroundings the fish grow up in. @pheereynolds.bsky.social @zwitscherarmin.bsky.social @uni-konstanz.de www.kcl.ac.uk/news/virtual... #Neuroscience #neurodevelopment

Virtual reality study with zebrafish shows surroundings influence developing biology of the eye | King's College London

The environment experienced by young zebrafish influences both the shape and electrical activity of the neurons in the eye, which impacts subsequent behaviour.
