A PhD position is open in my lab for those interested in studying the neuronal basis of visual perception - utilising virtual reality for mice, optogenetics, and in vivo imaging methods. See the following link for further information: findaphd.com/phds/project/as…

Assessing how learned predictions of visual motion in V1 alter the perception of mice at University...

I am excited to announce that I've been awarded an SNSF Starting Grant! 🥳 I will start a lab at the Institute of Neuroinformatics in Zürich next year and we will work on "Neural mechanisms of perception and learning in uncertainty." @snsf_ch @UZH_en

Really excited to share my lab has received an 8 year Wellcome CDA. This long-term funding will allow my group to dissect the molecular logic underlying local protein synthesis during synaptic plasticity. (1/3)

Clarivate: "eLife's publication decisions are “decoupled from validation by peer review.” The real problem here is the word "validation". Lots of arguments about what peer review can/does/should do. But we can all agree it does not validate work 1/n science.org/content/article/…

Web of Science index puts eLife ‘on hold’ because of its radical publishing model

Journal that is experimenting with peer reviewing but not accepting manuscripts could lose its impact factor

Finally out!!! – So proud of @DKushins_Neuro & Manos Tsivourakis who demonstrate in a foundational study that the circuit function of sensory-induced transcription lies in driving downward Firing Rate Homeostasis via the daily normalization of E/I-ratio doi.org/10.1016/j.celrep.202…

Delighted to share our paper on task-switching and prediction errors. nature.com/articles/s41467-0… How does the brain update its current knowledge of the world to guide flexible behaviour? Prediction errors are key! Pls read & share if you find these questions interesting. Thread:

“I fear the literature has devolved from papers making a single major claim that is proved in multiple ways to papers having multiple claims, each with a single reed of support” This is absolutely spot on 👌 Publish houses of brick, not mansions of straw nature.com/articles/545387a

Publish houses of brick, not mansions of straw

Nature - Papers need to include fewer claims and more proof to make the scientific literature more reliable, warns William G. Kaelin Jr.

As the time for @FENSorg approaches, the struggle of searching for poster abstracts on the official website becomes real. But fear not, we are back with the unofficial #FENS2024 abstract database, with a new, fast, and searchable format. fens2024.neuronaldynamics.eu
