Hvordan ved hjernen, hvornår det er på tide at vende om? 🐭 Bliv klogere på, hvordan en tanke bliver til bevægelse: ow.ly/JKHP50WsAXp Forskere fra Københavns Universitet har opdaget et hidtil ukendt netværk af nerveceller, som automatisk får mus til at prioritere sikkerhed – selv når de er sultne.
At #ISPGR2025 we were fortunate to have @olekiehn.bsky.social as keynote today, sharing with us his cutting edge research on context-dependent locomotor pathways, with implications for understanding locomotor impairment in people with Parkinson’s disease and #DBS opportunities to treat those.
The first day of #FRM2025 was brilliant! Thank you to the Norwegian Neuroscience Society & Nordic Neuroscience for warmly welcoming 1,000+ attendees to share #Neuroscience research. Excited for the 2nd day! @fens.org @fkne-scholars.bsky.social @network-alba.bsky.social @ejneuroscience.bsky.social

I'm proud of contributing to @nkrauth.bsky.social @clemmensenc.bsky.social @olekiehn.bsky.social discovery of the role of an hypothalamic-brainstem circuit for prioritization of safety. Really impressive amount of work led by @nkrauth.bsky.social
Nathalie Krauth@nkrauth.bsky.social · last yr.Honored to share that our paper is out today in Nature Neuroscience: www.nature.com/articles/s41... We identify a hypothalamic-brainstem circuit linking internal states to locomotion: These projections drive safety-focused movement over competing behavior. #Neuroscience #Hypothalamus #Locomotion
Excited to present our study in @natneuro.nature.com: a deep brain pathway that triggers safety-driven movement—overriding needs like finding food or social contacts. A look into how the brain weighs deep instincts. Congrats to all and first author @nkrauth.bsky.social. shorturl.at/toYFN
