As a longtime fan of cool papers in @currentbiology.bsky.social, I am really thrilled to see this out!
This study sets the stage for understanding the origins of novel (vocal) behaviors.
Big shout out to the main architects of this work @xmikezheng20.bsky.social and @cliffscience.bsky.social

Vocal repertoire expansion in singing mice by co-opting a conserved midbrain circuit node
Zheng and Harpole et al. show that singing mice produce two major vocal modes: ancestral
USVs and novel songs that follow a linearly decelerating rhythm. Although acoustically
distinct, songs and USVs...

I am recruiting graduate students for the experimental side of my lab @mcgill.ca for admission in Fall 2026!
Get in touch if you're interested in how brain circuits implement distributed computation, including dopamine-based distributed RL and probabilistic representations.

If you are at #SfN2025, don't miss Huihui's poster tomorrow (Sunday) morning at MM6 (PSTR095.13)! He has developed methods for barcoded connectomics across many vertebrates, from frogs to NHPs, and is comparing the single-cell anatomy of the song systems of zebra finches and parrots!

Next-generation of barcoded projection mapping techniques: MAPseq2 and POINTseq! Congratulations @justuskebschull.bsky.social and team.
Excited to share the first 2(!) preprints from the Kebschull Lab. The amazing @hyopilkim.bsky.social developed MAPseq2 & POINTseq and used them to map the dopaminergic cells of VTA and SNc. tl;dr MAPseq2=10x cheaper, 4x better; POINTseq=easy cell type specific barcoding; DA neurons=very cool.
