I am thrilled to see my postdoctoral work finally published in @NatureNeuro ! (free access here: rdcu.be/dpQhG). We used in vivo ephys and a new behavioral paradigm to elucidate what the PFC represents when mice face danger. These are the main findings of our work: 🧵
Really looking forward to hosting Cyril Herry (@CyrilHerrylab ) at @CajalNeuro tomorrow!
Join us for his seminar on how the brain represents defensive behaviors.

What if neurons are not the only cells shaping cognition?
This May, @mmf_89 starts AstroCode, a new @ERC_Research project at the CNC exploring whether astrocytes actively participate in how the brain stores and processes information.
Rethinking cognition, one cell at a time.
I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve just started my new lab at the Centro de Neurociencias Cajal (CSIC) in Madrid! @CNCajal_CSIC
We are recruiting motivated PhD students and postdocs to join an ERC-funded project on astro-neuronal computations.

🎉 Say hello to Mario Martín-Fernández @mmf_89, the newest member of #CNC!
He’s exploring how astrocytes help the brain encode information and guide adaptive behavior.

Welcome to the team, Mario!

Are you enjoying SfN and curious about prefrontal cortex codes? Come join us in this session this afternoon!
Looking forward to chairing this session this afternoon at #SfN23 with @erinLrich and speakers @sandra_tanja @hua_ibrain @JadhavLab!

🔔Our new 📝 with @EnrRodSeb is out in @NatureNeuro Using topological analysis we show that ripple waveforms can be represented in a low-dimensional space, which conveys information about layer-specific synaptic inputs nature.com/articles/s41593-0… Follow 👉🏼🧵 to discover the Minotaur!
There is more to the article (Figure 5 and many supplementary figures), but these are the main findings. I hope you find this study interesting and do not doubt contacting me if you have any questions or comments you would like to share ([email protected]).
Also, this wouldn’t have been possible without the help of collaborators (especially @AnaPMenegolla), and the trust of Cyril @CyrilHerrylab in this project! Thanks!
