Enjoyed reading this!

Nice read about life and work of Yvonne Visser, on her excellent PhD research in the Sensorimotorlab. #DondersInstitute #Radboud

Are you an early-career #scientist who has been affected by the ongoing uncertainties surrounding US federal research funding and hiring? We at @stellatecomms.bsky.social want to help! We are offering 📝 free resume/CV reviews for those whose jobs are at risk: forms.gle/CCbbu2X5GJwH...

If you're a non-UK scientist who wants to come to the UK for a postdoc, this year's Newton Fellowships are now open. You'll need a lab to host you (which could be me, but truly, could be any PI, so get in touch with someone you'd like to work with!) royalsociety.org/grants/newto...

The new edition of European Conference on Comparative Neurobiology, ECCN2025 will take place from May 6th to 8th in beautiful Alicante (Spain) and soon you will be able to register and submit your abstracts through the conference website: eccn2025.umh.es

Ok, I don't think an #EvolutionaryNeuroscience starter pack existed already...so I have started one! This is not nearly as exhaustive as it should be, so drop your name (or the names of your colleagues) in the comments if you want to be added!🤩🙌 go.bsky.app/Q2UW2Sn

Two weeks to go until the application deadline for ILESLA. If you or anyone you know would benefit from full funding to carry out a PhD in Life and/or Environmental Science please visit/refer to our website page iles.web.ox.ac.uk/how-apply where you can see open day videos and get full guidance.

Paper alert! Thank you, Sourena and @clydefrancks.bsky.social for the collaboration!

Enjoyed this one.

Just finished this--very good.

Job alert! Postdoc in computational neuroscience of social decision making (with focus on social rule learning) w/ us, Inti Brazil, @francescopoli.bsky.social at Donders Institute. www.ru.nl/en/working-a...

Inti Brazil and I will soon be recruiting a postdoctoral researcher in computational neuroscience of social decision making at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour. Please reach out if you're interested to hear more!

Paper alert! link.springer.com/article/10.1... In which we compare mouse and human cingulate cortex organization using functional connectivity. w @grandjeanlab.bsky.social

Paper alert: @lazarialberto.bsky.social in Cell Reports www.cell.com/cell-reports.... In which we investigate the mouse (pre)motor system with all the tools we could come up with and compare its organisation to that of the human.

It's time for some big news! I successfully defended my PhD thesis at the Donders Institute and I have started a new postdoc at the University of Cambridge, where I'll be working with @duncanastle.bsky.social on brain development!

Preprint alert! Comparing the limbic-frontal connectome across the primate order: conservation of connections and implications for translational neuroscience doi.org/10.1101/2024...

I'm sceptical too. If a finding is important it will be replicated in due course (or not) but replication for its own sake seems like a potentially huge waste of time/effort

This weekend's neuroecology reading list

What underlies infant habituation and dishabituation? We tried to answer this question with a hierarchical bayesian model and a new learning task, out now in developmental science! doi.org/10.1111/desc... 1/6

Very grateful to have been awarded MRC Fellowship to work on quantitative translational neuroscience. Can we make formal predictions about patient relevance of mouse models? Plz contact if interested. #neuroskyence #brain #neuroscience

We're launching Devstart, a website to help anyone getting started with developmental science methods and programming. Here's the website with the first tutorials: tommasoghilardi.github.io/DevStart/ Please share widely! 1/4

A bird's eye view of the hippocampus beyond space: Behavioral, neuroanatomical, and neuroendocrine perspectives. bit.ly/3ugPUm6 Nice use of poorly leveled mouse brain to highlight dorsal and ventral hipp in same section. Not sarcastic. #neuroskyence

Tag @francescopoli.bsky.social

Guess what! @suhasvijayakumar.bsky.social has made it to bsky as well! 🤩

Always wanted to know about white matter anatomy in the gibbon brain (but were afraid to ask)? doi.org/10.1007/s00429-023-02709-9 #neuroskyence #evolsky #brain #anatomy

Hi @gfreches.bsky.social, nice to see you here! Hope all is well

The Multiple Demand Network of the human brain is often associated with tasks measuring fluid intelligence. Here, we investigate its structural basis and compare it to the macaque. Nice work by Katrin Karadachka: doi.org/10.1093/cerc... #neuroscience #evolution
