Le Jardin des Plantes is a very inspiring place to think on What is a neuron. Fantastic workshop organized by @openlab.bsky.social @cam-openlab.bsky.social This statue sums it up for me Sciénce et mystére We don’t know what species that egg will become
And in the second part of the first day we had a talk by Ben Larson and Thibaut Brunet on behavioural complexity of ciliates and the evolution of neural properties of cells in eukaryotes.
We started our What is a Neuron workshop yesterday with a talk by Fred Keijzer, who spoke about the role of concepts in neuroscience and skin brain theory.
Getting ready for this interesting workshop in Paris: What is a neuron? @openlab.bsky.social school of ideas Back to the basics #neuroskyence
We are running more online courses in June - two modules of Bonsai and a webinar on how to approach working with a new model system: calendar and registration on our webpage, nenckiopenlab.org/open-lab-onl...!
Join the summer course on open science run by @cam-openlab.bsky.social - learn how to adopt transparent, reproducible, and collaborative research practices during conceptual discussions and practical workshops! More info here - cambridgeopenlab.org!
There are only 8 days left to apply! Join us in Paris to discuss the basics: what a neuron really is?
We are happy to announce the first workshop in our new series: Back to Basics! The goal of this series is to take a fresh look at the basic assumptions held in our field. In the first workshop, we will ask the most fundamental question: What is a neuron?

Arshad Desai and Suckjoon Jun write in their paper about the topic we will discuss in December on our workshop - Why are there neuroscientists? We want to know how the stories we tell ourselves - and others - about our reasons to do science correspond to "real" motives!
We are happy to see in print a paper by @kacperkon.bsky.social and Jagoda Nawrocka that was conceived at the School of Ideas of Neuroscience 2023!
We are happy to announce our next Workshop of Ideas in Neuroscience: “Why Are There Neuroscientists?” This time, we’ll gather in the beautiful city of Heidelberg to explore our reasons and motivations for doing research in neuroscience.
It's time for the second workshop this autumn - this time, you will have an opportunity to learn animal pose estimation with Deeplabcut! Workshop will be held Nov 20-21st in Heidelberg and is free of charge. More info on our webpage!
We have also finished our first workshop in Portugal - From keypoints to behavior: hands-on pose estimation and behavior analysis. It was a pleasure, we hope to see you again soon!
We are happy to announce our first workshop in the new academic year! Visit us in Heidelberg on Oct 17th to learn how to Bonsai programming language to collect data, control your experimental environment and run closed-loop paradigms! The workshop is free of charge!
Transatlantic Behavioural Neuroscience School 2025 is over! Thanks to all our speakers, participants and TAs, and see you next year - in Poland!
The talk by Noel Federman on the non-olfactory signals in olfactory cortex at TBNS 2025!
