Take a look at some of Easy Electrophysiology’s capabilities in our new online manual! We’ve recently moved the manual from PDF to a webpage, making it much easier to navigate. You can find it here: easy-electrophysiology.github.io/manual/

We aim to reveal the neuronal ensemble mechanisms of motivated behaviours guided by food-associated cues. We are located in weird and wonderful Brighton on the southern English coast! (lab homepage: http://tinyurl.com/y44g9a7u)

Romain Brette reveals fundamental flaws in commonly assumed neuroscience concepts
His new book, “The Brain, In Theory,” offers alternatives to many of the computer science frameworks currently driving theoretical neuroscience.

At University of Bristol today to conduct a MSc and PhD viva (on the same day). It's been a nice week of academic tourism! 😄
Our article “Environmental Enrichment Suppresses Food Seeking and Increases Inhibitory Interneuron Excitability While Decreasing Corticothalamic Neuronal Recruitment in the Prelimbic Cortex” is now out on @ejneuroscience.bsky.social Read it here: tinyurl.com/2dbnk5c2 Highlights below 👇 1/n
Cool new study on how operant training and extinction learning recruit distinct prelimbic cortex ensembles to support opposing behavioural responses from Bruce Hope's lab! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

I recently learned that my PhD mentor, Pieter Voorn, passed away at the age of 70. He was a superb, ‘classical’ neuroanatomist at VU Medical Center in Amsterdam, working alongside Gloria Meredith, Henk Groenewegen, Harry Uylings, and Chris Wright.
Flight back has been cancelled so must spend another day in Almeria! Not a bad place to get stranded ! 😁
Seen today in Brighton: Old-school, non-LLM, analogue spell checking! 😄
In this recent #ResearchHighlight, the authors discuss new findings pointing a potential non-pharmacological approach for mitigating maladaptive craving behaviors

The Shoya House at The Huntington, San Marino, CA. A house built in the Edo period 300 years ago in Marugame Japan. It was disassembled there and reassembled at The Huntington. Amazing !
Friday happiness=yakitori and Suntory Premium Malts at Torikizoku! 😋
Our article “Prelimbic cortical excitatory overdrive and inhibitory underdrive accompany environmental suppression of food seeking” recently came out on @npp-journal.bsky.social. tinyurl.com/5xpd9ay5 Want to learn more? The thread is below: 1/n
Many years ago I found this book at a used bookstore in Brighton by Louis-Antoine Ranvier dated 1889. Although I don't understand any French, it was still cool to see drawings of microscopes that were used back then! (Not sure it this is the microscope he used to discover those famous 'nodes')
Seen on the Sussex campus! The answer to the question is 'yes'! 😄
A nice view of Blakers Park this evening with the English Channel in the distance!

I finally started an account here! 😀 I'll start on a sunny note with some spring time shots of Falmer Village!
