Many neuroscience students are steeped in an experiment-first style of thinking that leads to “random walk science.” Let’s not forget how theory can guide experiments towards deeper insights, writes @gershbrain.bsky.social. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/theoretical-...

one of the unexpected perks of studying olfaction is the occasional crossovers with perfumers. a delightful night of smells, sounds, and sights from Fischersund

Sniffing helps animals identify smells and connect them to places and events, but noses can’t sense time or place. How do brains connect odors with internal models of the world? Our preprint suggests that the olfactory bulb participates in this connection. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Check out our new review in PLoS Biology on how dynamic odour information can help mammals to navigate through their environment. Led by the fantastic Anantu Sunil & Olivia Pedroncini, this also marks my first last author publication from the University of Bonn! journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

Neuroscience-related posts on Bluesky surged last week following an influx of users—including many neuroscientists. Chart by @callimcflurry.bsky.social.

Just to offer a different PoV: this would benefit progress in the same direction, but IMO we need new math for life/natural intelligence to get us out of copying ML into neuroAI, e.g. claiming an engineering tool as THE way the brain works etc. Breakthrough Theoretical advances need broader search.

hi #neuroskyence 👋 i've been mostly lurking here for a few months as i'm writing my thesis but wanted to take a moment to say i'm looking forward to rebuilding a supportive and engaged community here :) ok, back to writing!
