Our postdoc and prospective Ambizione fellow Nanci Winke just published her latest work on the coding of valence, salience and value in mouse prefrontal cortex. A collaboration with @CyrilHerrylab and Daniel Jercog (@danoneyes). Congratulations, Nanci! nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Prefrontal neural geometry of learned cues guides motivated behaviours

Nature - The dorsomedial prefrontal cortex encodes the value, salience and valence of learned stimuli along distinct neural dimensions, and the geometry of these representations shapes motivated...

Remembering Mark Hallett (1943-2.11.2025), who made seminal contributions to motor function and its relationship to dystonia and parkinson's disease. He was an extraordinary teacher, here during a video-session at our annual Swiss movement disorder meeting en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_H…

Interesting perspective from @LUSCHERC @KarlDeisseroth & collaborators providing a roadmap for direct & indirect translation of optogenetics into therapies for humans - potential for #Parkinsons (am curious to learn more about @Maplightrx & Modulight Bio) nature.com/articles/s41593-0…

Hot off the press: lab T-shirt featuring the pinyin character for addiction. Outer part of the sign is „disease“, the inner means „invisible“. So in Chinese culture addiction is the „invisible disease“. Let’s leverage neuroscience research for cross-cultural destigmatization!!!
