PhD opportunity in "The role of neural development in multimodal intelligence" with me, @marcusghosh and Flor Iacaruso. Read details below 👇.

Note there's a very short window for applying (deadline Feb 27).

UK candidates will be given preference unfortunately because of the source of funding, but it is open to all.

Finally published with David Angulo Garcia:

A theory for self-sustained balanced states in absence of strong external currents
@PLOS

Dynamical balance can be obtained via nonlinear mechanisms without the need of strong external drive: short term depression act as a new balancing mechanism. The complete theory is here reported.

To everyone in the U.S. standing up for science today, calling for policies that support science, not suppress it: we’re with you! Cutting science doesn’t just harm scientists – it harms society as a whole. #StandUpForScience

Flyer for the DC and nationwide rally on March 7, 2025. "Stand up for Science", "Science is for everyone".

With the death of Twitter is the loss of years of cool papers. Let's start again #Neuroscience! What paper are you most proud of? This isn't my biggest or most cited, but the one I 🥰 most: jneurosci.org/content/35/8/361

I found a type of gamma in CA1 that didn't involve PV baskets or PYRs 🤓. This is the only paper where I did absolutely every recording, cell drawing, analysis, etc and wrote every word. It was leftover data from a Nat Neuro paper (nature.com/articles/nn.3538) where we were only interested in OL-M cells. I had a hunch that there was more in there, so went digging...

So eLife have decided to send WOS a partial feed. This will be greeted with elation by some but seen by others as an unacceptable compromise that re-introduces a de facto accept/reject decision elifesciences.org/inside-elife

An open access paper :

Gamma oscillatory complexity conveys behavioral information in hippocampal networks with V Douchamps, M di Volo, D Battaglia and R Goutagny
Nat Comm 15, 1849 (2024)

Our findings challenge the idea of rigid gamma sub-bands, showing that behavior shapes ensembles of irregular gamma elements that evolve with learning and depend on hippocampal layers

The third edition of my textbook, Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos, was published today. You can preview the first 68 pages on Google Books, or take a look at the preface below to see what's new. The main new thing is a chapter on the Kuramoto model! Hope you enjoy it.
