Last weeks to register to the superb FENS Satellite about decision making organized by the @barccsyn.bsky.social community in Barcelona. The meeting will be on Sun July 5th, just before the FENS Annual Forum. Check the speakers line up! It is veery nice đ

The barccsyn.org community in Barcelona is organizing a nice FENS Satellite (Sun 5.07). Check the great speakers that will present both experimental and modeling work. And remember: you can bring your poster. If you want to (finally!) understand how the brain works đĽ¸, come and find out. #FENS2026
We are now working on the integration of this system with wireless battery-free optogenetics, so that your perturbation experiment can be generating lots of interesting data while you do your favorite activity đ˛âąď¸ đâ˝ď¸. If you want to give it a try, get in touch with us (4/4).
Iâd like to thanks the entire TV-team for making this dream come true, but particularly to @balmaserrano.bsky.social and Rafa MarĂn for the continuous and tireless effort over the years. It has been great doing this together (3/4).
Want to make publication-ready figures come straight from Python without having to do any manual editing? Are you fed up with axes labels being unreadable during your presentations? Follow this short tutorial including code examples! đđ§ľ
In the TV, đ are happier than before: they live in groups of n~10 in enriched environments with almost zero handling or transportation. And students are also much happier đ: no monotonous and time-consuming mouse training. No coming to the lab on weekends to control water restriction (2/4).
A few years ago we dreamed about having an automated system in which our animals could live in and train on any behavioral task 24/7 w/o any human intervention. Today, we are very happy to share the Training Village (TV), an open system that can be used to train mice/rats in almost any task (1/4).
đ¨Excited to share my first @biorxivpreprint.bsky.socialđ¨ with the amazing Smith lab, @jbarbosa.org and Albert Compte who made this work possible.
We show that đprefrontal hemispheres combine redundancy (for precision) & weak connections (for capacity) for supporting spatial working memory (WM). 1/đ§ľ
