Part of an incredible cross-disciplinary effort:

Preclinical: @melgaby.bsky.social ( @nature.com paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41... ) 🐭

ANNs: @drrickadams.bsky.social & @mariaeckstein.bsky.social (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...) 💻

Each with their own jobs opportunities ...
A cellular basis for mapping behavioural structure - Nature
Mice generalize complex task structures by using neurons in the medial frontal cortex that encode progress to task goals and embed behavioural sequences.

❗Post-doc (computational/cognitive)❗

You'll develop cutting-edge analyses bridging brain imaging, behaviour, and language.

Lots of scope to develop new methods (LLM-based) and experiments. You'll work closely with computational collaborators on the animal and neural network side (see below!).

❗Pre-doctoral fellow (clinical)❗

You'll be supported to lead a clinical fMRI study, and embedded within an academic psychiatry group studying neurobiology of psychosis.

Ideal for a junior doctor at the start of their academic journey, keen to learn! 4 years, potential PhD.

You're correct

Thanks! Great paper. As you ofc know, PEs come in many forms (reward/state; sensory/semantic, low/high level). Most tasks (mmn) measure v. low level PEs. We suggest narrative tasks might allow us to track PEs at higher levels of abstraction. No strong claims about cog maps and delusions here.

Obligatory to reference @kennethstanley.bsky.social and Joel Lehman's amazing book
