Something exciting just left the gym -- meet Arnold the first generalist musculoskeletal control policy!

The human body has 600+ muscles, yet we seamlessly coordinate them for everything from whispering a syllable to felling a forrest. How? www.arxiv.org/abs/2508.18066

What are the molecular underpinnings of behavioral programming? What about reprogramming behavior? In this new exciting paper from the Berger lab, they report that a cocktail of neuropeptides specifies division of labor and and reprograms it in the leafcutter 🐜! www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

To identify fundamental neuroscientific principles that generalize across species, systems and circuits, neuroscientists must embrace an evolutionary perspective, argue Karl Farrow and @katjareinhard.bsky.social.

✨ We are super thrilled to announce the #DeepLabCut AI Residents for 2025!

They are hosting workshops around the 🌎 this winter/summer 🇲🇽🇦🇷🇨🇦🇪🇸: deeplabcutairesidency.org/our-team

Meet Alejandro, Juliana, Sabrina, Jiayue & Marc!

Many thanks to @kavlifoundation.org for their support!

Our website got a little update and a new team photo 🎉❤️

And, I’m hiring 4 additional research software engineers to support a new collaboration set to kick off in July across many species & labs, so get in touch if you’d like to join us!

Had such a wonderful first week of my postdoc adventure in Geneva 🇨🇭 with @trackingactions.bsky.social ✨. Incredibly happy to be part of the team and looking forward to tons of super cool science! 🤩 Find out more about the lab’s research @ www.mackenziemathislab.org. 🐭🦾🏔️

#PhD student position in “ #Neuroethology of pectoral motor networks”
Our laboratory is interested in how neuronal circuits are shaped to generate adaptive
#behavior. ⬇️

I am excited that our paper 📜 on pectoral motor neurons in hatchet fish 🐟 is now out in @pnas.org. Take a glimpse at their amazing jump-like escape response, fin movements for stationary holding and the underlying motor neurons 🔬 here: www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...
