We are delighted to announce that SLB will take place on June 26th-28th, 2022 at the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (AAAS) in Boston (sculptedlight.org). Save the date and stay tuned for registration opening t.b.a soon! We look forward to meeting you!

Registration is now open for Sculpted Light in the Brain, Boston 2022 (June 26th to 28th, at Boston University's Photonics Center). Register now at sculptedlight.org, space is limited!

We encourage participants to submit an abstract, you may edit it up until the May 15 deadline by logging on your eventbrite registration ticket.

Also, consider applying for a travel award (include a brief statement, and email us a recommendation letter).

Don't forget Travel Award and Abstract Deadline is really soon. We have money for awards don't delay!

The schedule for SLB2022 is ready, and there are still a few open spots to register. Join us in Boston sculptedlight.org

Coming to SLB2022? the The Kavli Foundation has a grant opportunity for attendees to propose new interdisciplinary collaborations. Turn your coffee break musings into a research project! More info soon Registration closes in 5 days (June 15) so register now! sculptedlight.org

Badge pickup for #SLBConference opens at noon today. Until then, please enjoy one last video in our online series with a presentation of the R&D work happening in the labs of 3i. youtube.com/watch?v=lcw2vc…

#SLBConference schedule for day 1. See you soon !

Meet the awardees of the Kavli Innovation Grant, inspired by the SLB. The awards will support four teams of scientists developing and utilizing new neuroscientific methods that rely on photonic technologies. kavlifoundation.org/news/sculpting…

We are finally online 🎉2P-FENDO for selective optogenetics photostimulation and high-speed calcium imaging in freely moving mice! Congrats to EmilianiLab and Ori Katz lab! authors.elsevier.com/a/1g5cb3BtfH1Z…

It's out 🥳 Perfect collaboration with Johannes Vierock, Hegemann lab and @BejaLab! WiChR: a new K+ ChR, excellent for #neuronal #inhibition with #2P_Holography. Great effort from Christiane Grimm Dimitrii Tanese I-Wen Chen, Benoit Forget in the lab and all co-authors! science.org/doi/epdf/10.11…

biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We just posted a preprint about a new approach to efficiently mapping synaptic connectivity in mouse visual cortex in vivo. Any feedback is much appreciated!

📢Job alert! I am starting my own research subgroup thanks to Swiss National Science Foundation #Ambizione at the Department of Basic Neurosciences of the University of Geneva Geneva University Neuro🧠Center. PhD position available, co-supervised by myself and Prof. Anthony Holtmaat. See the add below and share. Thanks!

Does scattering limit your in vivo imaging experiments? We 'super-resolve' neurons using the same trick how PALM/STORM microscopy resolves individual molecules (1/12).

🧠 Curious about how neurons are wired in the human cortex? Our Science Magazine study tested over 7,000 connections and revealed key differences from rodents: "Directed and acyclic synaptic connectivity in the human layer 2-3 cortical microcircuit". 🧵👇science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Excited to announce our paper on scanless in vitro and in vivo two-photon voltage imaging is finally out; Huge thank to Ruth, Imane and all coauthors👏Special thanks to Francois St-Pierre lab for the great collaboration! doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

Impressive ex vivo 12-patch-clamp recordings and optogenetic tagging and recall reveal fear engram microcircuits in the lateral amygdala of rats. Chapeau! From Ron Stoop's Lab @ Uni Lausanne nature.com/articles/s4159…

Upcoming online symposium on "Dendritic Integration", Tuesday December 10th, 11:00 am - 4:00 pm EST. Great speakers and free registration! ntc.columbia.edu/dendritic-inte…

Scientists at Allen Institute for Brain Science led the efforts in generating the largest electron microscopy volume of the brain ever and reconstructing the beautifully intricate wiring diagram of the mouse visual cortex. Congratulations to team for this spectacular achievement!
