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! 🧪 🧠 https://t.co/6RgR5Iu6FL 1/7

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.

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 https://t.co/26tJ9EZdbZ

The ability to form and utilize subjective, latent contextual representations to influence decision making is a crucial determinant of everyday life. The hippocampus is widely hypothesized to bind...
