For years, neuroscientists faced a choice: record what a neuron does in a living animal, or read its molecular identity postmortem. Same cells, both readouts, at scale? Out of reach. TRU-FACT closes that gap. 🧵
That’s a wrap on the 4th Optogenetics Australia conference 2025! Thank you to the speakers, sponsors, attendees, organising committee and everyone in between for an illuminating 💡conference. OptoAus 2027 is looking for a home so if you’re interested, get in touch on the website
Inspiring Plenary Speech by A/Prof Jennifer Rodger on Repetitive TMS for sceptics at #ANS2024, Chaired by A/Prof Ann-Maree Vallence! @AusNeuroSoc @_hellewell_
🧠👂🫰Our paper on the limitations of other sensory modalities to influence a sensory cortex is out today! 🎉 cell.com/neuron/fulltex…
Perception is multimodal—we recognize objects in the world by combining touch, sight, sound, smell, and taste. Primary sensory cortical areas (S1, V1, A1, …) respond to other modalities. Could a primary area bind together different modalities, like an association cortex? 🧵
Nice results. You can't understand cortex w/o the thalamus Primate thalamic nuclei select abstract rules and shape prefrontal dynamics biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #Neuroscience They also find a spectrolaminar cortical motif like this study: nature.com/articles/s4159…
We're thrilled to introduce the #ANS2024 Plenary Lecture speaker, A/Prof Jenny Rodger of the @PerronInstitute. She will discuss repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation for sceptics: how understanding mechanisms drives translation and innovation ⚡️
The Wolff Lab is looking for a #Postdoc for a NIH-funded project to study how distinct learning systems interact. Catch me at SfN or reach out via email if you are interested! #Neurojobs #AcademicJobs
Great paper describing brain-wide coordination of neural activity during decision making
Researchers at SWC have mapped how the brain transforms sensations into action. Read the story: sainsburywellcome.org/web/research-n… Full paper in @Nature: nature.com/articles/s4158…
@ewadorotaz Unfortunately not, but I look forward to hearing about it
Academics will write "interestingly" and then impart the driest piece of information you have ever heard in your life
What is the nature of sensory prediction error signals in the neocortex? Our research published in @Nature reveals that these error signals are amplified responses to unexpected inputs, mediated by a cooperative thalamocortical circuit mechanism! 1/4 nature.com/articles/s4158…
Formatting guide: "use up to 4 modest display items (figures and tables)" The supplementary information:
A study published in @Nature reveals that abstract representations in the human brain, particularly in the hippocampus, help us generalize from past experiences to new situations. go.nature.com/3TiAnfx
We are excited to announce @DrLizzieManning as a speaker at the 4th Optogenetics Australia Meeting in 2025! Lizzie's groundbreaking research uses cutting-edge techniques like optogenetics and aims to bridge the gap between preclinical models and clinical practice. #OptoAus2025
It's the cortical-subcortical circuits that matter, as always: nature.com/articles/s4146…
Nice dissection of feedforward cortico-thalamo-cortical pathways shows how they are distinct and influential routes of sensory processing.
Nature Communications A transthalamic pathway crucial for perception nature.com/articles/s4146…
Jennifer Rodger of @PerronInstitute @UWAresearch is the ANS Plenary Lecturer. A/Prof Rodger's talk title is "repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation for sceptics: how understanding mechanisms drives translation and innovation" #ANS2024
Have you seen the amazing plenary speakers announced for the Australasian Neuroscience Society @AusNeuroSoc Annual Meeting? #ANS2024 ans.org.au/ans-asm/plenar…
Very nice work by @mo_brainer and colleagues,stressing once more the importance of the thalamus 👇
Are we too cortex exclusive? 🧠 We found that perceptual decisions depend on a cortical pathway through thalamus (transthalamic), even though corticocortical projections are intact. Transthalamic pathways thus play a major but underappreciated role in perception. 1/5
