Our lab is re-opening the search for a postdoc! The candidate we chose this round unfortunately had to withdraw (2-body problem). If you or someone you know is looking for a postdoc in ephys + spatial navigation + neurodegeneration, come check us out: aeryjoneslab.github.io

Emily A. Aery Jones@emilyaeryjones.bsky.social · 3mo ago

The Aery Jones lab is recruiting another postdoc! If you're interested in neural mechanisms of spatial memory, high-density recordings, cool tasks (like cricket hunting), and/or aging and Alzheimer's, come check us out: aeryjoneslab.github.io. Please pass along to your friends :D

Are you a senior postdoc with a complete scientific story to tell? Apply for our Yale Molecular Psychiatry MAPS program and tell us about your work at our weekly neuroscience seminar series. PLEASE REPOST!

What if part of Huntington's disease wasn't just damage, but a circuit stuck in the wrong pattern? Our new paper, out today in Nature, tests that idea.

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...

For many bilingual people, switching between languages feels effortless. Now, scientists have figured out how bilingual brains accomplish this feat at the single neuron level. spkl.io/633297EUXJ Xinyuan Yan, Benjamin, Y. Hayden, @sameershethmd.bsky.social & colleagues @cp-cell.bsky.social

I’ve officially resigned as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience. It used to be a reputable journal, but became a case study in how forced automation destroys academic integrity. 👇

🧠We offer 1-2 Postdoc positions in Circuit Neuroscience!🧠 Join us at @dandrite.bsky.social to study thalamic circuits for visual processing, funded by an ERC starting grant and the Lundbeck foundation. Deadline: 14. Juni 2026 Apply here: international.au.dk/about/profil...

Do brain circuits really sit in a 'soup' of neuromodulators? Are neurons like soggy bits of bread soaked in signaling factors? Is the whole brain just squelching around in one big pool of warm modulators?

FINALLY HR has the posting up for a postdoc opening in my lab ! Particularly interested in folks with electrophysiology, photometry, or behavioral experience. www.gwu.jobs/postings/125...

In this review, Bruce P. Bean of @harvardmed.bsky.social examines the mechanisms of #pacemaking in mammalian #neurons, highlighting that few spontaneously active neurons rely on #HCN ‘pacemaker’ channels for their activity 🧠 ⚙️ 📜 🔗 physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/...

This is beautiful data. 2p optical reporting of subthreshold voltage, validated with simultaneous patch clamp. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... FORCE1s by François St-Pierre's group, with a bunch of great people joining in.

Wanna do neuroscience in Paris but can't find interesting lab? Want to come do a sabbatical but don't know who to collaborate? Check this webpage aggregating ~all the neuroscience labs (+200) in Paris. ⚠️only the information of 'verified' profiles is reliable⚠️ Please retweet 🙏 parisneuro.fr

Excited to share our new J Neurosci paper showing how subcortical inputs are routed through ventromedial (VM) thalamus to layer 1 interneurons in the medial PFC, all done by my graduate student Sanne Casello: sannemcasello.bsky.social www.jneurosci.org/content/earl...

What are the systems in neuroscience that we really have something that we can call “explanation” at all relevant levels, other than reflexive feed-forward like circuits. Here are a few that I would argue are getting there. Obviously not complete explanations but genuinely satisfying.

The Transmitter @thetransmitter.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Neuroscience has become increasingly concerned with prediction, and machine learning with causal explanation, with each field adopting methods from the other, writes @gershbrain.bsky.social. Will this bring us closer to understanding neural systems? www.thetransmitter.org/the-big-pict...

Postdoc @ Emory Univ. The Deans lab is recruiting postdocs to work on inner ear development, hair cells and innervation. We use mouse genetics, imaging, and dev bio to understand how the machinery for hearing + balance is built. Email a CV and brief statement of interests. 🔁 Boosts appreciated

The medial geniculate body #MGB in the #auditory #thalamus is a key early node in sound processing. @geffenlab.bsky.social &co show in mice that two inhibitory neuron types have distinct connectivity & effects on sound processing. @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/47twOtM

Ein historischer Moment: 65 Jahre nachdem der erste türkische Gastarbeiter nach Deutschland kam, wird mit @oezdemir.de erstmals ein türkeistämmiger Deutscher Ministerpräsident von Baden-Württemberg. Das erfüllt mich mit Stolz auf dieses Land. Glückwunsch an Ba-Wü und Cem!

Happy to share our new study about how cortical and thalamic inputs engage cholinergic interneurons in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) core, all done by my graduate student Emily Jang:

Have said this before in other forms, but will reiterate it here: if you're doing long-form writing of any sort, reading the words aloud into a microphone is a completely unparalleled cheat code. It's free, easy, and so effective it feels like it shouldn't be allowed. I do it in a few stages...

If you’re a (new) writer and haven’t heard or taken the advice that you should read your work aloud to yourself, just go and listen to some well-written audiobooks and compare them to some not-so-well written ones.

UAB is recruiting neuroscience faculty at two different levels - come join our vibrant neuroscience community!

UAB Comprehensive Neuroscience Center@uabneuro.bsky.social · 5mo ago

The UAB Heersink School of Medicine is seeking to recruit up to 16 new research-intensive faculty as part of a major strategic investment in neurosciences. Faculty will be housed in a brand new research facility at the heart of campus, which is scheduled for completion this summer.

I think this is a *super* important paper - if this result can be replicated with other regions or tasks then this may come to form our core understanding of credit assignment signals in the neocortex! #neuroscience 🧪

This paper on how the brain may do gradient descent is very cool: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

As new Kopchick Fellows are named, we are sharing a brief series highlighting the leadership and impact of the fellowship. Our first features the Kopchicks, Huda Zoghbi, MD, and Fellow, Stephen Farmer, whose neurodegenerative disease research continues this fall in the Huda Zoghbi Lab. More to come.

Today, I would like to honor the memory of Roger Y. Tsien, born on February 1, 1952. His legacy lives with all who use his technologies, including calcium sensors, fluorescent proteins, the acetoxymethyl (AM) ester, & many more! #FluorescenceFriday www.nature.com/articles/nme...

Lyon fans held up this banner during a poignant minute's silence before their game vs. PAOK 🖤 Seven fans of the Greek club were killed in a minibus crash en route to the Europa League tie.

Excited to be on the organization meeting for the 6th annual NCM conference on Neural Circuits in Health & Disease. Terrific line up of speakers!
