New in @NatureNeuro: We developed a flexible model that reveals how animals learn tasks—uncovering stages, sudden insights, and gradual improvements unique to each animal.
Learning isn't monotonic, and our model captures that complexity 🐭📊

Happy to share that our new paper is out in Nature Communications with Zoe Ashwood, @IntlBrainLab, and @jpillowtime!
We study how animals switch between internal decision-making states in non-stationary environments using a GLM-HMM framework.

We can help with your Neuropixels recordings, multiphoton imaging, data processing, visualisation, management, and more. Applications are due November 1st! internationalbrainlab.com/ib…
Want to collaborate with the International Brain Laboratory on your own project? We have funding to work with groups anywhere in the world to do new large-scale projects and we are looking for new partners! Learn more and apply: internationalbrainlab.com/ib…
These papers show what collaborative science can achieve: standardized methods, open data, and shared tools driving new insights into the brain. The next discoveries are ahead. Come join us!

If you have a project idea (experiment or theory!) please apply to become an IBL partner: internationalbrainlab.com/ib… +
IBL’s next phase is to work with new partners. We have funding to support groups anywhere in the world to do new large-scale projects. We can help you with Neuropixel recordings, multiphoton imaging, data processing, visualisation, data management, and more. +
These studies are just the beginning. The same infrastructure is now powering many new projects, such as this study by Jean-Paul Noel & colleagues on autism:
🧠 nature.com/articles/s41593-0… +
We discovered that decisions arise from many brain areas working together—including regions previously overlooked by scientists—to integrate current evidence with beliefs from prior choices. We establish large-scale, collaborative science as a tool to unlock the brain’s secrets +
Twenty labs collaborated to build:
- Recordings from the entire mouse brain during a behavioral task (data.internationalbrainlab.o…)
- Open and reproducible workflows and data standards
- An organisational structure enabling scientific discovery among distributed groups +
Two flagship papers from the International Brain Laboratory, now out in @Nature:
🧠 Brain-wide map of neural activity during complex behaviour → doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-0…
🧠 Brain-wide representations of prior information in mouse decision-making → doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-0… +
