Excited to share our new fUSI pre-print! lnkd.in/dtXqyaGc While discarding motion-affected data is a common approach, we modeled movement directly, helping preserve task-related neural signals. Thanks to Chaoyi Qin (co–first author), Baptiste Heiles & Valeria Gazzola (senior authors) and the team.

It was a pleasure to host Dr. Camilla Bellone at the NIN last week! She presented her work on the neurobiology of social motivation, including social prediction errors and the role of dopamine in social isolation. Thank you for the inspiring talk! @socialbrainlab.bsky.social @nin-knaw.bsky.social

This new study shows turtoises feel emotions, like optimism or anxiety! It's the first strong evidence showing reptiles can experience emotional states, which sheds a new light on reptile sentience 🐢 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Evidence of mood states in reptiles - Animal Cognition

There is increasing evidence that non-human animals experience ‘free-floating’ mood states, but such evidence is lacking in reptiles, hindering the debate as to their affective capacity and with subse...

Thanks to everyone that came to my talk on emotional contagion in mice at the #Behaviour2025 conference🐭 Thank you to the organisers @behaviour2025.bsky.social for this amazing opportunity!

I am excited to share the first collaborative publication of my PhD titled "Nonlinear sound-sheet microscopy: Imaging opaque organs at the capillary and cellular scale"! It was an absolute honor and pleasure to work with Baptiste Heiles, David Maresca and the other authors on this beautiful project.

A new method reported in Science allows the generation of 3D ultrasound images of gene expression and 2D ultrasound images of capillary vessels. The approach enables fast, deep, and volumetric imaging of living opaque organs labeled with echogenic reporters. Learn more this week: scim.ag/4jf4rDa

Proud to have helped bring the NIN Gym to life! 🤸‍♀️ A huge thank you to the NIN and NINclusion team for making it happen, and to @tiesverbeekpt.bsky.social for an amazing workout ✨ Feeling great after session one - excited for the next weeks of Yoga & Bootcamp! 🙌

Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience (NIN)@nin-knaw.bsky.social · 2y ago

The NINclusion team launched the NIN Gym to support mental and physical health within the institute. Over the next 10 weeks, employees can join alternating Yoga and Bootcamp sessions led by personal trainer Ties (@tiesverbeekpt.bsky.social) on Thursdays. The first session took place last week! 💪

Proud to be part of the initiative led by the Green Office at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience (@nin-knaw.bsky.social) in earning two LEAF sustainability certifications! 🌱 Big thanks to Aram de Haas, Green Office colleagues, and the Social Brain Lab & Salta Lab. Here’s to a greener future!

Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience (NIN)@nin-knaw.bsky.social · 2y ago

🌱 Exciting news from our green office! Two labs have joined the certified sustainability programme, LEAF. Congratulations to Evgenia Salta’s lab and the @socialbrainlab.bsky.social for earning the bronze award and making impactful strides toward environmentally friendly research practices. 🎉
