What if we could universally recombine, insert, delete, or invert any two pieces of DNA? In back-to-back nature papers, we report the discovery of bridge RNAs and 3 atomic structures of the first natural RNA-guided recombinase - a new mechanism for programmable genome design

Incredible, and exactly why the NIH should fund a mammalian spinal cord EM effort.

Jaw dropped.

Excited to announce that Nature Neuroscience Nature Neuroscience has published my article "A sensory-motor theory of the neocortex" (based on active predictive coding). #Neuroscience #AI #brain PDF: homes.cs.washington.edu/~rao/Rao-Natur… Article page: nature.com/articles/s4159…

Exciting news. Wishing you well Nelson.

Super excited to share my postdoc work investigating how mating and parental behaviors evolve using wild species of mice combined with single nucleus RNA-sequencing of the hypothalamus 🐭🧠🧬! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Shohei Furutachi's heroic study on sensory prediction errors in visual cortex is out at nature now, including a lot more exciting data: nature.com/articles/s4158…

New in Nature Neuroscience, we present DPAD, a deep learning method for dynamical modeling of neural-behavioral data & dissociating behaviorally relevant dynamics. It enables diverse neurotech & neuroscience use-cases. 👏Omid Sani 💻github.com/ShanechiLab/DP… 📜nature.com/articles/s4159… 🧵⬇️

Very excited to have our first faculty search in the Neuroscience Dept! We are a broad department spanning molecular, cellular, systems, behavioral, cognitive and computational neuroscience. neuroscience.berkeley.edu. Search is in sys-cog-comp (any area). Exciting community!

New publication 😃 Lockbox enrichment facilitates manipulative and cognitive activities for mice. open-research-europe.ec.europa.eu/articles/4-108 Katharina developed these mechanical puzzles that were provided in the #homecage and filled with a food reward. Science of Intelligence Bf3R_centre

Very cool, top of the reading list

Tomorrow in Chapel Hill: Great weather, undefeated Carolina Football team under the lights. I have four tickets to give away to a family who can put four Tar Heels in the seats. RT, be following and have DMs open to be eligible.
