BREAKING NEWS
The 2026 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel “for their discoveries concerning light-gated ion channels and optogenetics.”

PhD work finally out! 🥹 This work saw much blood, sweat and tears — but it also embodied the beautiful joy of discovery that I’m so grateful to experience as a scientist
Thank you most of all to Rathi who carried the revision experiments to the end! ❤️

a big thanks and congrats to everyone involved
🔥 A new study led by @KardamakisAndre lab at @NeuroAlc reveals that the brain’s ability to detect what matters in a visual scene is over 500 million years old.

My final postdoc paper from the Golshani lab is finally out! How does inhibition regulate memory-encoding pyramidal sequences? We used kHz-rate voltage imaging of mouse CA1 PV & SST cells during a working memory task with odors.

Save the date and join us for a webinar about cholinergic interneurons, hosted by the Swedish Basal Ganglia Society. We are excited to have two distinguished speakers: Stephanie Cragg and Mark Howe. Everyone is welcome and no registration is required! swebags.ebrains.se/events/ch…

The ‘go’ and ‘no-go’ pathways in the basal ganglia are not the only pathways that control movement, as a new study reveals two additional circuits that modulate dopamine and movement.

Excited to share our new study! We identify Anxa1 neurons as particularly vulnerable in Parkinson’s disease. We also show their crucial role in prodromal-phase bradykinesia and procedural motor learning.

Check out our latest preprint - a new view on the mouse PFC!
Our new study is out!
biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
We (@CarlenLab) mapped the mouse PFC using single-unit activity! We recorded ~23,000 neurons across cortical/subcortical regions and profiled spont. firing patterns to reveal what separates the PFC from other brain regions.

Cytoarchitecture has been the dominant, ever-changing canvas to study brain regions. We here started with a clean slate and instead approached organization of brain regions by profiling spontaneous activity of single neurons. Do PFC neurons hold unique firing properties?
