Our work showing that the locus coeruleus broadcasts unsigned visuomotor prediction errors to facilitate cortical sensorimotor learning is now on bioRxiv!
Please check it out, would love feedback! https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.11.08.515698v1
Apply for a PhD position in our new lab at SIDB, University of Edinburgh! We will use behavioral approaches, VR, electrophysiology and optical methods to asses locus coeruleus function in wild type and mouse models of autism spectrum disorder. Please share widely!

An examination of over 1 million funding proposals to the National Science Foundation from 1996 to 2019 reveals that white principal investigators are consistently funded at higher rates than most non-white PIs and relative funding rates for white PIs have been increasing. https://elifesciences.org/articles/83071?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic_features
A series of extremely cool #locuscoeruleus manuscripts have been put out there recently, and I wanna take the opportunity to highlight them in this🧵
Would love input from other #bluespot enthusiasts, since I'm definitely missing papers!
Maybe we can keep adding by replying, and eventually create an easily accessible list of publications that currently shape the #LC field

What a cool study showing a behavioural task switching role for prediction errors in ACC: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.11.27.518096v1

I'm honoured to share that this year I got promoted to Full Professor at UCL!
Thanks amazing Saleem Lab team across the years, without whom it wouldn't have been possible.
Thanks @EP_UCL@twitter, @UCLPALS@twitter @UCLBrainScience@twitter for the support
Prof Saleem 😀
Professor of Systems Neurosci
This is what we should be doing, everywhere. Pretending that our rankings of projects/papers/candidates etc objectively reflect some crowd wisdom is incorrect. Creating space for chance will change this and lead to a better, less unfair system. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01232-3
Scientists move and scientific publishing follows:

@sciencemagazine
Surely I’m missing many.

Good time to announce that I will be starting my lab at SIDB & University of Edinburgh early next year! 🎉 We will investigate neuromodulation and cortical learning, as well as their dysfunction in mouse models of autism spectrum disorder
short #introduction
Neuroscientist fascinated by neuromodulation and cortical learning. Big on open science! Also love nature (i.e., wildlife 🐛 ) and painting strange pictures.
