Dr. Mark Wagner (@NIH) joined us @buCSNneuro to present “Big jobs for the little brain: from dopamine reward learning to reorienting cortical manifolds,” exploring the cerebellum’s contributions to cognition & behavior.
Thanks to Dr. @MikeEconomo for hosting this seminar
Enjoyed speaking at the course on Computational Approaches to Memory and Plasticity (CAMP2026) at IISER Pune, India @camp_course with Collins Assisi, Rhagav Rajan, Suhita Nadkarni @suhitais, Sarthak Chandra @SarthakChandra, and Sachin Deshmukh @SacSDesh.
Enjoyed speaking at the Braitenburg100 symposium @MPICybernetics in Tübingen with Li Zhaoping, Kate Jeffery, Jeff Wickens, Neil Burgess, David Foster, Gaute Einevoll, Andrea Burgalossi, Read Montague, Kenji Doya and many other renowned researchers.
Also enjoyed seeing Peter Dayan, Gunther Palm, Andreas Herz, David Willshaw, Fred Hamker and Leo van Hemmen
Enjoyed speaking @CornellNBB, hosted by my former postdocs Prof. Christiane Linster and Prof. Thom Cleland @nyalki and seeing my former grad student Prof. Eve DeRosa now Dean of Faculty at Cornell, as well as Azahara Oliva and Antonio Fernandez-Ruiz @antferrui

The brain has an underappreciated communication system made of astrocytes that spreads electrical influences independently of spikes and synapses.
Astrocytes connect specific brain regions through plastic networks
