If you're at #FENS2026, come see how inhibition guides thalamus to encode stimuli in different ways according to their learned value! Poster #350, Friday 9:30-13:00.

If you are at #FENS2026 stop by at our lab’s posters by Eva Sebastian and @paricio-montesinos.bsky.social on the role of sensory thalamus in learning and memory.

Latest from the lab: @paricio-montesinos.bsky.social & team identified a circuit mechanism for sensory thalamus plasticity. TRN inhibition reshapes auditory thalamus activity to align sensory responses with learned value and action, enabling adaptive behavior. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

A thalamic inhibitory circuit aligns sensory coding with learned value

Adaptive behavior requires sensory systems to prioritize cues that predict meaningful outcomes while suppressing irrelevant stimuli, but how relevance-based filtering is implemented along early sensor...

Don’t miss our lab’s posters at @bonnbrainconf.bsky.social, featuring exciting new work from Eva Sebastian, @paricio-montesinos.bsky.social & Ziyan Huang on large-scale neuronal activity in sensory thalamus function, decision-making, sleep & inhibitory regulation. 🧠🔬 @dzne.science #BonnBrain26
