I'll be coordinating the "Animals in Motion" track of this summer school, returning to London in August 2026.

Apply to join us for some hands-on learning and collaboration on open-source tools for video behavioural analysis.

We're excited to share that Neuromatch is now an official Scientific Member of the International Brain Research Organization (IBRO). 🎉 We look forward to advancing our shared mission of promoting global neuroscience and unlocking each other's potential to drive our organization forward.

🤓 We join 100 other global members connecting 95,000+ neuroscientists across 71 countries. Learn more here: https://ibro.org/ibro-now-has-over-100-members/

First was an engaging conversation with Tatiana Engel on how low-dimensional function is embedded in high-dimensional networks in the brain on the Brain Inspired podcast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Jb_DjyZ_LY (2/10) #neuroscience

How do you think the brain "stores" our personal memories? 🧠

This is a question for everyone out there, especially for non-neuroscientists and regardless of education level or familiarity with biology.

I'd just like to hear all your ideas and theories, however crazy they may sound. Be as specific or vague as you like. Please do not look at the answers before giving yours so you are not influenced.
More specifically:

1. What do you think happens (in the brain) at the time of experiencing something that we will end up remembering?
2. What do you think happens (in the brain) when, later, we remember that thing?

Boosts welcome but answers even more welcome!

Paper resubmitted! ✅ 🤞It's a review about the #Tolman #Sunburst maze and how, despite many attempts, its results have not been consistently replicated (at all)... And no, the light is not really the problem!
I'll post a thread when / if it comes out!

Written with Roddy Grieves in the #NeuroESC lab!

There's a great talk by Juan Gallego on how low-dimensional #NeuralManifolds arise from biological constraints, remain invariant across states and inputs, and support cross-animal alignment. Examples span #HeadDirection rings, #gridcell tori, #MotorCortex prep vs movement, striatal timing dynamics, and C. elegans #behavior loops. Cool talk as it shows how #manifold-level structure can generalize across tasks and organisms.

Preconfigured neuronal firing sequences in human brain organoids

Braingeneers group at UC Santa Cruz https://braingeneers.ucsc.edu/

These results suggest that temporal sequences do not arise in an experience-dependent manner, but are rather constrained by a preconfigured architecture established during neurodevelopment.

🧠 New preprint by Tilbury et al: Characterizing #NeuronalPopulation geometry with #AI equation discovery

The approach generates & evaluates 100s of candidate equations, finding "peaky" non-Gaussian tuning functions whose Fourier structure matches power-law dimensionality observed in real #V1 pops. Links shape of single- #neuron tuning to #PopulationLevel geometry using both data fits & analytical derivations.
