How does a brain remember a particular orientation or goal? In this new fascinating paper from the Nagel lab, authors show the role of disinhibition in the head-direction circuit and the interaction of sensory input and ongoing behavior. Read it here 🪰🧭 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The recurrent h∆K–PFG neural circuit generates persistent heading memories through slow excitation, fast inhibition and a disinhibitory gate, where disinhibition controls the functional...

Having a great time @neuroethology.org this year, and I am extremely honoured to have been awarded the Young Investigator award! Let me know if you think I did justice to locomotion of aquatic and terrestrial newts, and check out our new preprint of my postdoc work with @matosches.bsky.social!

Excited to share a new preprint from the lab, by @andrewmatheson.bsky.social and team, where we dive into the superpower of newts: plasticity! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Like many good projects, this started with a serendipitous observation... 🧵1/5

Congratulations to lab members @andrewmatheson.bsky.social , Tori Saltz and recent alumna @ecbjaeger.bsky.social on their #ICN2026 awards! Keep an eye on these rising stars and don't miss Andrew's and Tori's talks at @neuroethology.org this week

Excited to share our latest work on brain evolution, where we dive into the evolution of Cajal-Retzius cells! If you are interested in cell type evolution and cerebral cortex evo-devo, please read on… www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵 1/7

Evolution of Cajal-Retzius Cells in Vertebrates from an Ancient Class of Tp73+ Neurons

In the developing cerebral cortex, Cajal Retzius (CR) cells are early-born neurons that orchestrate the development of mammalian-specific cortical features. However, this cell type has not been conclu...
