Reviving this thread - there's many interesting big ideas and grand unified theories of the brain. I think it's high time to systematically catalog and start to falsify these.
Just to bring to your attention the Ibrahim laboratory
@KAUST_News.
Leena was a fabulous postdoc with me @harvardmed for five years and now has her own laboratory in Kaust. If you are looking for an exciting and dynamic person to work with, check her out!
Very thrilled to announce that I will be joining @KAUST bioscience division as an assistant professor this summer. The Ibrahim lab will be focusing on development and plasticity of sensory learning, neuromodulation and neurodevelopmental disorders.
Excited to see this work out! Congrats to @cagjony, Rik van Daal and the entire consortium. Proud our lab could contribute to the implant hardware design. #neuropixels2
Researchers have developed a tool, tested in rodents, that can record from the same neurons in a freely behaving animal for weeks and months.

Our latest work on the contribution of hippocampal replay to selective memory consolidation of rewarded experiences has been published in @CurrentBiology: cell.com/current-biology/ful…. Congrats to the team!
Presenting our lab's recently published work on replay and learning: Ciliberti et al @eLife and Hu et al @CellReports (collaboration with Chen lab) at the #NERFretreat today 👇
Our new collaborative paper on GPU-based real-time neural decoding was just published in @CellReports. Good work Sile Hu, Davide Ciliberti, Zhe Chen and others!
“The new GPU system will bring the field even closer to having a detailed, real-time and highly scalable read-out of the brain’s internal deliberations. This will help us increase our understanding of how replay events drive memory formation and behavior.” @fknerf
If you haven't seen posters F107, 108 and 109 yet, hurry up. Now's the perfect chance to meet Davide Ciliberti and ChaeYoung Kim and Frédéric Michon of the Kloosterman lab! #FENS18
