A big thank you to all those who have been so positive about my new book. It's about how neurological patients can tell us so much about our selves, how personal and social identities are forged by different cognitive functions, and what it means to belong.

Very happy to see this out! Based on the microcircuit identified by Vollan et al., we made some interesting predictions about theta sweeps along the parasubiculum-MEC-HPC pathway, especially theta modulated head direction cells which direct the left-right sweeps in downstream grid cells.

I guess we should go through tagging some of the neuroscientists (or rather their work) who feature in the book and are on Bluesky (there’s a few!)?

Thanks @lucyannunwin.bsky.social it’s been so much fun writing this with you.

Ha ha. I am indecently excited by this! I think there are so many amazing neuroscience stories that don’t get told it’s great to be able to show some of them off! I hope the kids (and adults!) that read this will be as excited as I am about the way the brain works.

hard to believe it’s just 5 days since I gave an update on my Royal Soc resignation - at that time, Musk seemed deeply unpleasant and still stirring up trouble, but he now seems totally unhinged deevybee.blogspot.com/2025/01/retr...

Just noticed that (the apparently very modest) @behrenstimb.bsky.social is listed as one of the most highly cited researchers in 2024 along with 73 other UCL researchers. www.ucl.ac.uk/ion/news/202... Well done Tim (and others) - very well deserved!

Super excited to be (a small) part of this project with such a stellar team. It's a cool way to apply our knowledge about RL (and other agentic approaches) to novel statespaces (i.e. databases)

Funded PhD opportunity for AI-driven early detection of dementia using multimodal data supervised by my colleague and friend Qiang Liu. Cannot recommend him more highly, I co-supervise a PhD student with him and this is an absolute bomb of an opportunity www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Just back from a super fun lab retreat at Cumberland Lodge (amazing venue) - struck by how lucky we are to work with a group of incredible people. Feels like neuroscience is in safe hands for the foreseeable future. @abrate.bsky.social @sjshipley.bsky.social (not sure who else is on bsky?)

Exciting new job opportunity at the IoN, UCL, London. The post is based at the Department of Imaging Neuroscience. It is a 70-30%research to teaching split. If anyone requires more information on the teaching part then please do get in contact with me. Please repost www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...

I have shared the lab with another scientist (Kenneth Harris) for the last 15 years, and it's great fun. The interaction is definitely supralinear. However, lest some Dean read this and get carried away: this cannot be an arranged marriage! Most scientists are fine with their own lab.

A moment in time: Dieter Oesterhelt passed away in Münich on this day (November 28) in 2022. He identified the 1st microbial rhodopsin more than 50 years ago, with far-reaching impact that could hardly have been imagined. laskerfoundation.org/in-memoriam-...

So excited to see this preprint out - the cumulation of an ambitious project lead by the very talented @sjshipley.bsky.social Alzheimers models are a new direction for the lab and we'll be doing more in this direction. TLDR: AD > disordered HPC reactivations > less stable PCs > memory defects
