Fantastic work, Koen! Great that you can finally share this last paper of your PhD work. This was a super inspiring HBP-funded @HumanBrainProj project with the labs of @LarsMuckli , @mattlark @Pieters_Tweet with so much help from all coauthors!
I’m very excited to share our latest preprint:
‘Experience-dependent predictions of feedforward and contextual information in mouse visual cortex’

We have a postdoc position available in the lab, see the ad for a description of the project!

How does the brain implement and switch between different behavioural strategies, such as explore, exploit or disengage? Remarkably, a small nucleus in the midbrain can do it all! A new, exciting direction for my lab led by the amazing @AhmadlouMehran: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

The first cellular map of a mammalian brain is here. 🧠✨
Over 6 years and 32 million cells in the making, the complete adult mouse brain cell-type atlas reveals astonishing diversity and regional specificity.

It is generally believed that the adaptability of the adult brain takes place in the cortex. However, a new study from Yi Qin shows that the thalamus, a relay station for incoming motor and sensory information, plays an unexpectedly important role.

We were surprised to find how precisely connected developing neurons are! Our new study shows that synaptic inputs of pyramidal cells in the visual cortex are clustered already days before eye opening. #neuroscience #synapse #braindevelopment biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

What is the nature of sensory prediction error signals in neocortex and the circuit-mechanisms underlying them? Genuinely thrilled to see this epic effort from Shohei Furutachi in my and @TFlogel's lab out on @biorxivpreprint: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…

Do you agree that animal research is essential in #Biology & #MedicalResearch?
📢The EU will be discussing a complete ban of animal research - Please support this initiative pro animal research in Europe & spread the word 🙏

Our scientists & collaborators used the largest map of connectivity to date between cortical neurons of a defined type (L2/3 pyramidal cells in mouse primary visual cortex), to identify constraints on the learning algorithms employed by the cortex.

Happy to share our latest work on AIS plasticity! 🥳
In this study, we addressed the molecular mechanisms of rapid AIS plasticity, focusing on how Nav channels are reorganized.

Our work showing that the locus coeruleus broadcasts unsigned visuomotor prediction errors to facilitate cortical sensorimotor learning is now on bioRxiv! A short thread of the main findings. @georg98keller
