Are you a neuroscientist with great coding skills, or a software engineer interested in the brain?
We are recruiting for a research software engineer to help us build pipelines to process weeks of neural and behavioural recordings from freely moving animals.
More details: bit.ly/rse-2026a
It has been super fun to work on this, where we learned that:
1) Mouse PFC is needed for model-based override of habits.
2) Separate PFC populations encode a 'policy' and the current 'value'.
3) The policy and value codes alternate theta sweeps towards the goal.
...and much much more!
We’re hiring a Group Leader!
Join us to lead a transformative initiative in human systems neuroscience.

How do brains plan actions towards goals?
To get at this question we studied mice navigating complex mazes as goals changed on every trial 🧵
