Broad peer review is crucial for a healthy scientific literature, but neuroscientists turn down review requests too often. Simple math suggests that small groups of scientists can significantly bias the literature, writes @jvoigts.bsky.social. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/publishing/l...

Lack of reviewers threatens robustness of neuroscience literature

Mouse retrosplenial cortex encodes spatial hypotheses with well-behaved recurrent dynamics, which can combine these hypotheses with incoming information to resolve ambiguities @jvoigts.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Spatial reasoning via recurrent neural dynamics in mouse retrosplenial cortex - Nature Neuroscience

Using a spatial reasoning task in mice, the authors show that retrosplenial cortex encodes spatial hypotheses with well-behaved recurrent dynamics, which can combine these hypotheses with incoming inf...

Join us in the following programs that demystify cutting-edge neuroscience techniques and empower you with low-cost, open-source tools you can use 🧠⚡️ More info in the thread below 👇 #OpenEphys #OEdu #ExperimentalNeuroscience #BehavioralNeuroscience

Opportunity alert for students/postdocs looking to learn how to do creative experimental neuroscience that is guided by ideas and not by what tools are currently available (or affordable).

Should neuroscientists keep all raw data or focus on processed datasets? Nima Dehghani @neurovium.bsky.social asks experimentalists and theorists for their thoughts on neurophysiology’s data dilemma: www.thetransmitter.org/the-big-pict... Check out some opinions in the thread below:

I made a systems neuroscience starter pack, focused on experimentalists who study the brain at the level of populations of neurons! Also want to be on the list? Reply or DM me a picture of your ephys rig or 2p setup and I'll add you 🤭 go.bsky.app/UiqX7ry

It's been a joy to work with the amazing team that made this possible. This technology is already allowing us to study the brain during more natural behavior, and we can't wait to see what the neuro community does with this.

Open Ephys@open-ephys.org · 2y ago

A paper about our next generation data acquisition system, ONIX, was just published: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I’m at #SfN2024 poster W29,Tues PM, showing Tzuhsuan Ma’s work on how🐁reason about complex spaces: they use sparse subsets of paths and seem to reason about them as extended objects🤔We also have an open PD pos. to work on neural dynamics / theory<>exp in sequential reasoning / naturalistic behavior.
