Looking forward to the Centro de Neurociencias Cajal International Symposium on #Drosophila Neuroscience on October 30 in Madrid with Bassem Hassan, Marta Zlatic, Dr Albert Cardona, Lucia Prieto Godino & Efthimios (Makis) Skoulakis. Register here: form.jotform.com/262652809189...

What makes our behaviors individual? Beyond genes & environment, learning matters too.

Ana Marija Jakšić's @merianelion.bsky.social group studied thousands of #Drosophila, & revealed that learning can produce behavioral differences even among genetically identical animals - doi.org/10.7554/eLif...

A new dataset from the lab of @epfl-brainmind.bsky.social professor Henry Markram includes 244 reconstructions and 641 curated recordings of juvenile rat cortical neurons, linked so researchers can examine structure and electrical behaviour in the same cells - doi.org/10.3389/fnin...

We look forward to welcoming a new professor Lindsey Salay whose lab will work on how the brain combines sensory, social and internal signals to guide adaptive behaviours. actu.epfl.ch/news/appoint...

A new mouse brain lipid atlas from the labs of @gioelelamanno.bsky.social & Giovanni D'Angelo reveals 500+ distinct biochemical territories or 'lipizones', that reflect brain anatomy & connectivity plus change in pregnancy. Read the paper: doi.org/10.1038/s415... & explore the atlas: lbae-v2.epfl.ch

HCN channels help set electrical rhythms including neuronal excitability. But how does temperature affect them? A new study by Rajnish Ranjan in the Markram lab compares mouse, rat & human HCN channels, revealing conserved kinetics and faster gating at higher temperatures: doi.org/10.1113/EP09...

Your eyes constantly move to hunt for information, a strategy known as infotaxis. New work from Prof. Mackenzie Mathis's lab @trackingactions.bsky.social shows mice do it too: in a VR task, they actively sought out the most informative views, adjusting as visual info changed doi.org/10.1016/j.cu...

How does circuit structure shape neural activity? The lab of @epfl-brainmind.bsky.social Prof. Wulfram Gerstner shows that distinct neural circuits can produce similar low-dimensional dynamics, while retaining clear signatures in single neuron and population activity data: doi.org/10.1016/j.ne...

New tool CellSeg3D, from the group of blu.ski/@epfl-brainmind professor Mackenzie Mathis @trackingactions.bsky.social enables self-supervised 3D cell segmentation in fluorescent microscopy,👇 labeling time & 👆quantitative analysis -
