Hi Blsky 🦋!
I'm a neuroscientist and fresh team leader at the Paris Brain Institute and INSERM
@karalis-lab.bsky.social we work at the interface of experimental, large-scale data analysis, and computational neuroscience, trying to understand the functional architecture of neuronal circuits.

Fascinating! And yet another proof of the level of complexity of neuronal circuits.
🧠 The Lipid #Brain Atlas is out now! If you think #lipids are boring and membranes are all the same, prepare to be surprised. Led by @lucafusarbassini.bsky.social with Giovanni D'Angelo's lab, we mapped membrane lipids in the mouse brain at high resolution.

In brief, we explored in silico how cortical slow waves are shaped by both external inputs and intrinsic properties of neuronal populations.

Explaining the macroscopic activity of a neuronal population from its microscopic

play a role, but due to the impact ...

Great science lives in the data: inhabit it, test it, and embrace surprises.
Discovery thrives in uncharted territory. Outliers and artifacts often hide the most profound insights. Let curiosity guide you and allow yourself to see, chase, and focus on the unexpected.

How does science work? Hypothesis-testing is only half the process and science also owes its progress to serendipity driven by data exploration. In the new Night Science Podcast episode we ask bold scientists about explorations. Check out some quotes below ⬇️ open.spotify.com/episode/0JvE...
