Happy to say that our paper reporting place cells (!) and other interesting (albeit less surprising) things in ventral anterior #thalamus is now out in #iScience. Thanks to a fun collaboration with Eleonora Lomi and Anna Mitchell https://doi.org/10.1016/j.isci.2023.106993

The problem with consciousness research is that we have Paleolithic emotions, medieval theories, and god-like technology (to paraphrase E.O. Wilson)

Let's use the data provided by this technology to develop new theories of consciousness. Our attempt:

New #introduction for neuromatch.social 🙂​

My group investigates and defines cell types and neural circuits of the #thalamus, #hippocampus, and #cortex that contribute to spatial #memory processes.
These processes break down in #Alzheimer's disease. To understand the causes/triggers of #neurodegeneration, we study early-stage #Tau #pathology in the human #brain and in mouse models.

I previously defined various types of retinal ganglion cells using ex vivo #patchclamp recordings during my PhD in #Basel, before moving to #Oxford to work on #GABAergic #neurons of the #hippocampus, followed by the #medialseptum. My favourite technique is in vivo #extracellular recordings and #juxtacellular labelling as it enables identification of single #cells based on their firing patterns, #axon terminal distribution, and #neurochemical profile.

As an #experimentalist, my expertise is primarily in vivo #neurophysiology and #neuroanatomy. I am also interested in #consciousness, the origins of #memory, and regulation of #neuronal activity and #behaviour by #neuropeptides.

as a mastodon newbie, I forgot to add those hashtags to my #introduction

so here we go:
I work on #AI, #vision, #consciousness, #VR, #prediction, #insight, #smartphones, #psychedelics, #intracranial, #computational models, #thalamus, #cortex, #dendrites

My philosophy in science is that you don't have to stick to one topic ... don't be constrained by your past, switch fields if you want to!

I like to visit schools and talk about #neuroscience to #kids

Proud to be from and in #estonia

#introductions 👋

Hi all - I'm a neurology registrar and researcher at UCL.

I am researching how and why transient symptoms, such as visual hallucinations and cognitive fluctuations happen in Lewy body disease. Using 7T and 3T MRI and linking imaging changes to gene/neurotransmitter receptors.

Really interested in all aspects of Lewy body disease, cognitive neuroscience, #thalamus, and #neuroimaging.

Also interested in coding, games and literature!

Looking forward to meeting you.
