Decided to challenge myself to share more often online without filtering and overthinking, so starting a 365-day challenge where I’ll post a neuro fact once a day.

“Memory becomes nothing less than the expectations you have on the basis of prior experiences.” What does that mean for how we understand learning, identity, and the future? Find out in my conversation with Prof. Matthew Larkum. Available in English, German, and Romanian (links below).

📣New study in Neuron, featuring modeling insights: "Cell-Specific Dendritic Integration in Cortical GABAergic Interneurons"! It reveals PV & SST interneurons compute differently. This highlights how distinct dendrites enable specialized brain computations!

Distinct dendritic integration strategies control dynamics of inhibition in the neocortex
Dendrites critically influence single-neuron computations, but their role in neocortical GABAergic interneurons (INs) remains poorly understood. We fo…

A few years ago, I published this figure (www.nature.com/articles/s41...), unfortunately not under CC-BY. Editor made the neuron icons, and I'd now like to recreate something similar for another paper.

I love bioRender, but the pricing is a bit steep - what cheaper/free alternatives do you use?
