fantastic opportunity to join the lab of our amazing new Group Leader @RuedigerSarah in investigating the neuronal basis of visually guided behaviour!
Highly recommend @RuedigerSarah lab - asking really exciting and important qs about how we convert sensation to decision making - using all the most fun tech! I did both PhD and postdoc in a new lab - its an amazing environment to do great science with amazing mentorship. apply!!
new paper published in @ScienceMagazine from @MacAskillAF in @uclnpp @uclbiosciences @UCLLifeSciences. How mice make decisions using hidden state inference.
Huge congrats to @Karyna_mi for her paper published today in @ScienceMagazine! She found that the hippocampus is really important for a key strategy we use to make decisions called hidden state inference! 🧪 🧠science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… 1/7
Applications are now open to join our fantastic department @uclbiosciences as a group leader fellow. Come start your independent group at (in our opinion) the best neuroscience department! reach out to @ibianco3 for more info!
🚨🚨🚨Calling aspiring group leaders! We've just opened a new round of applications for group leader fellowship sponsorship to start a lab in UCL NPP. Deadline 5 Jan #sciencejobs @uclnpp tinyurl.com/yfvsa8a7

Congrats to @KorteNils in Attwell lab for their exciting new paper in @NatureNeuro - they find that treating Alzheimers disease model mice with a calcium channel blocker alleviates many of the key symptoms associated with brain blood flow and hypoxia. nature.com/articles/s41593-0…
Watch the fantastic Tara Keck from @uclnpp @uclbiosciences discuss concerns about supporting an ageing population with @unfpaeecaro
“There are understandably some concerns about supporting an ageing population, which we should proactively address” – Tara Keck, @uclnpp professor

Huge congrats to the amazing @Karyna_mi for her new paper! She found that mice need the ventral hippocampus to perform hidden state inference while performing a 2-armed bandit task. 1/4

Why does #brain asymmetry exist? What might happen if that asymmetry were lost?
@uclcdb's Stephen Wilson & @uclnpp's Isaac Bianco hope to provide some answers, using #zebrafish, supported by @wellcometrust's Discovery Research Awards
