Wir freuen uns mit Universitätsmedizin Göttingen (UMG) und Tobias Moser über die Bewilligung eines neuen SFB. Ziel ist es, vorhandene Therapien für Patient*innen mit Sinnes- und Bewegungseinschränkungen zu verbessern und neue Behandlungsansätze zu finden.

Have you ever wondered how memories are processed downstream of the #hippocampus and how this is affected by #Alzheimer's? We believe we may find some answers by riding all the way down the fornix to the mammillary body. Apply here for a #PhD with us: ovgu.b-ite.careers/56yvk

The lab has an open PhD position, to start as soon as possible. Very exciting opportunity to apply/learn miniscope imaging techniques to understand the role of hypothalamic circuits in learning and memory. Please share widely! ovgu.b-ite.careers/56yvk #neuroscience #neurojobs

We have a new PhD position available. Please spread the word and retweet. The project will combine retina recordings, computational modeling, and optogenetics to help further develop vision restoration therapy. See here for more information: retina.uni-goettingen.de/join-the-lab/

🚀New from Urban Lab in #eNeuro SfN Journals We used spatiotemporal clustering of single fUS voxels to map visual activity in awake mice. This high-resolution method precisely separates signals, revealing fine-grained activity patterns like never before tinyurl.com/47t27c7k

Now out in #NatureNeuroscience: new paper from our lab — "Temporal control of progenitor competence shapes maturation in GABAergic neuron development in mice." Congrats to first authors Ann Bright, Yana Kotlyarenko, Florian Neuhaus! nature.com/articles/s4159…

Finally it's out! nature.com/articles/s4158… Thanks to Felix Baier, Karl Farrow and Hopi Hoekstra! And a big thank you to all the co-authors, reviewers, host institutes and funding sources! Bram Nuttin, Arnau Sans Dublanc, Chen Liu, Victoria Tong, Julie Murmann and Keimpe Wierda

The primate visual system is a marvel of nature, inspiring the convnet. But how did it evolve? Do all highly visual mammals possess a ‘ventral stream’—a hierarchy of brain areas with increasing selectivity for complex forms? In our new study, we tackled these questions using

Excited to share our new work on the large-scale organization of the tree shrew visual system, led by Frank F. Lanfranchi with Joseph Wekselblatt & Daniel Wagenaar! We trace the evolutionary roots of the primate ventral visual pathway—revealing surprises like face cells in a

New story: a protein engineering campaign to generate ambient light opsins. Engineering opsins has been limited by experimental throughput. We put an autopatcher on stilts, cut out the bottom, and made a custom lightpath to screen the response surface of over 1,500 opsins.
