🚨 New preprint! 🚨
Excited and proud (& a little nervous 😅) to share our latest work on the importance of #theta-timescale spiking during #locomotion in #learning. If you care about how organisms learn, buckle up. 🧵👇

🚨New preprint alert!
The thalamus has long been seen as a relay of sensory signals to cortex.
But could it also generate its own structured activity?
Our study explores this question in the head-direction (HD) system.
Some explanation 🧵👇 1/13
www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Your brain doesn’t just passively track time ⏳ - it structures it.
In @Science.org we show that activity in 🧠 memory circuits (LEC) drifts constantly, but makes sharp jumps at key moments, segmenting life into meaningful events. (1/2)

Join us at #COSYNE2025 to explore recent advancements in large-scale training and analysis of brain data! 🧠🟦
We also made a starter pack with (most of) our speakers: go.bsky.app/Ss6RaEF
@burkeneurosci.bsky.social is excited to offer the NeuroAcademy program for high school students starting in July 2025. This 3-week, hands-on training course will introduce students to fundamental biological based neuroscience at the molecular and cellular levels.
🚨 Neuromatch Academy Course Applications are OPEN for 2025!! 🚨

"The researchers discovered that people who took longer to get to the REM stage of sleep were more likely to have biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease."
Sleep should be sacred, you get the best sleep, apart from the tips in this article, in darkness and silence.

*How* does the hippocampus encode the world around us? Leo Waschke and Fabian Kamp bring the 🔥, showing that single-neuron spiking variability in hippocampus dynamically tracks sensory content during memory formation in humans. Our latest in Nature Communications: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A new study suggested that not getting enough REM sleep can be an early warning sign of Alzheimer's disease. Here's what a neurologist wants you to know.

The hippocampus is thought to encode the content of stimuli, but how it does so is unknown. The authors show that when hippocampal spiking variability tracks the abstract building blocks of individual...
Our experience of the world is a continuous stream of events that must be segmented and organized at multiple timescales. The neural mechanisms underlying this process remain unknown. In this work, we...
While the thalamus is known to relay and modulate sensory signals to the cortex, whether it also participates in active computation and intrinsic signal generation remains unresolved. The anterodorsal...
Just boosting this again because after a bit of bureaucratic wrangling we are now almost ready to launch! Adverts should be out next week - will keep you posted
How can large-scale models + datasets revolutionize neuroscience 🧠🤖🌐? We are excited to announce our workshop: “Building a foundation model for the brain: datasets, theory, and models” at @cosynemeeting.bsky.social #COSYNE2025. Join us in Mont-Tremblant, Canada from March 31 – April 1!

This feels like an invitation😁 So... just a heads-up that we are recruiting for 5 positions pretty soon in the area of cognitive/behavioural neuroscience/psychology. Scotland is a beautiful place and we have some amazing science going on here... watch this space!

And honestly you can capitalize on the US brain drain that is happening/going to happen. Scoop up those American scientists!
