Hey all! I’m a neuroscientist at the Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology investigating how mice learn to help one another, and what happens in their brains as they do it. I’m here to meet fellow neuronerds and chat about all things neuroscience. Also will post jokes along the way. #neuroscience

I wish I had attended. Do you have a list of all PIs that work with rodent models in Tübingen?

Currently, there are technologies that can directly read the brain, decipher thoughts and feelings, and implant feelings that are not one’s own

🧠📈 I had the privilege to attend #IBNSConnect conference in Tromsoe last week and it was fantastic. I presented data with the rescue behavior task and the role dorsal hippocampus play in the learning of this behavior. My former PhD supervisor presented my PhD data. I watched the sun *not* set.

we should be better at writing papers, clearly be better at maths (I’m looking at you neuro community). We should engage locally and globally.

When are we good enough? When can we rest? Could we just accept that it’s okay we’re not trained in, and expertly navigate it all?

I think what irks me a bit is that PhD’s are expected to do SO many things these days.

We should be better communicators, better teachers, experimentally cutting-edge while wielding the state-of-the-art computational methods…

If someone asks a PhD student why society should pay them, I would turn it around to ask why we tolerate CEOs (and uni presidents) making multi-million dollar salaries every year.

Are their individual contributions to society really 1000x more important than even the most obscure thesis?

Now compare that to what works:

Mental health embedded into leadership development

Clear budget and ownership

Real cultural permission to talk about it

Metrics tracked over time

That’s where ROI lives.

Too many executives still treat mental health as an HR issue.
It’s not.
It’s a leadership issue.
It’s a business issue.
And it’s a strategic investment that pays off in real, measurable ways. 🧠📈
Let’s talk ROI. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

🧠✨How do we rebuild our memories? In our new study, we show that hippocampal ripples kickstart a coordinated expansion of cortical activity that helps reconstruct past experiences.

We recorded iEEG from patients during memory retrieval... and found something really cool 👇(thread)

Mark Solms talks about a Patient W he had who had basically his entire frontal lobes (apart from Broca's area) surgically removed as a teenager, due to repeated post-operational infections. This patient was fully conscious (in the responsiveness sense) and reported having mental imagery.

Brain activity during decision-making tasks can be grouped into categories with unique neural signals, highlighting the importance of variability in neuroimaging studies, new work finds.

During decision-making, brain shows multiple distinct subtypes of activity

Person-to-person variability in brain activity might represent meaningful differences in cognitive processes, rather than random noise.

My federal grants with @wendymanning.bsky.social and Ann Meier were terminated last week. The language from the termination is below. It has been sad as we are being forced to say goodbye to members of our team. We are figuring out next steps. We remain deeply committed to studying all families.
