Damn, that slipped through our anti-discrimination filter sorry. Primates welcome also; pretty much any mammal actually 😆

Job alert! We are seeking a rodent in vivo electrophysiologist to work on coordination between anterior thalamus and hippocampus in rats using Neuropixels. Beautiful Scotland, leading university (Glasgow) and vibrant intellectual setting. Post is 23 months but hopefully extensible. Details here 👇

Impressions of the RIN conference: Big Ben, Challenges in Navigation Research, John O' Keefe, Poster session where Chiara Tenneriello and Yibo Ma presenwd their research, Royal Holloway University

✨️The RIN conference on Animal Navigation was great! My highlights:
🏅Neurobiology session including a talk by nobel laureate John O'Keefe and that @katejj.bsky.social advertised the navigation challenges book
🏅Introducing my team to the community, meeting old friends & new people
🏅London at night 🤩

A snippet from a Claude.ai chat saying "FMRP is highly expressed in thalamus including TRN specifically. Bhatt, Bhaskaran and Bhattacharyya — actually Cheyne and Bhattacharyya and others, and importantly Bhatt and colleagues — no, let me be careful here: work from the Bhattacharyya lab and from Bhatt and Bhaskaran — I’m getting confused with names. The key point is that TRN abnormalities"

Claude sounds a bit too human sometimes. (End of a long day, I know how he feels...)

It is great to set aside our earthly squabbles for a bit and be amazing!

It is absolutely astonishingly impressive how much work scientific publishers have managed to shunt onto authors, who aren't paid, while they continue to increase their enormous profits. The submission process itself takes about 5 hours. I miss the 90s 😢

I think you are exactly right 👍

Nice! I think I know what it is now also 😁

Actually I take it back I think you are right

This is my preferred explanation so far: you're right, those ovals do look like the clearings for wind turbines, and the rectangles might be turbine components (in boxes?). But there seem to be too many for the number of clearings. And why do they seem to go up the side of a hill?

I'm pretty sure it's trees - the larger oval patches with the white edges look like clearings in forest to me (the white edges being snow that was slower to thaw near the trees). It's hard to get a sense of scale though.

Wondered about that but the directions don't make sense and they are too variable in size/shape (also solar panels are dark)

Can anyone explain what this photo shows? It was taken from the air over Lockerbie yesterday

Universities are terrible to do business with as they often don't pay on time so it's not an unreasonable question!

Place cells in CA1 lack topographical organization of firing locations | PNAS Topography is a well-described and well-known concept for cortical organization in primary sensory and motor cortices of mammalian brains. Similar ...

A half-century old question may have its final answer. Using high-resolution #Mini2P microscopes, we find no evidence of local topography in #PlaceCells. Place fields of neighbouring cells are no more similar than those of randomly selected cells. 🧠🗺️ Out now in @pnas.org www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Dramatic Glasgow skyline today (taken from the Hamilton Claypits nature reserve which I just discovered today, only 15 min walk from my flat!)

Unweaving the Cognitive Map: A Personal History - PubMed I have been incredibly fortunate to have worked in the field of hippocampal spatial coding during three of its most exciting decades, the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s. During this time I had a ringside view of some of the foundational discoveries that were made which have transformed our understanding of …

Not only do I remember it but I have documented it for posterity! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39698925/ (search for your name)

How does the brain replay memories during sleep?
Excited to share our new preprint, the outcome of an extensive effort led by Johannes Niediek, showing that reactivation of human concept neurons reflects memory content rather than event sequence.

My thrill for today - cave wetas, on the Coromandel Peninsula, NZ 😳

Why is it easier for me to log in to my bank account than to freaking Scopus?😡

It is yeah. But also I find it useful 😶

ChatGPT has started offering me product recommendations- is this new? It feels a little off

This made me laugh way too hard
