Thank you, NASA, for the Toothbrush Galaxy Cluster. I needed a new one.

🚨Awesome symposium alert! Please join us THIS Friday (Oct 7th) to see our 2022 P-SPINE fellows (SpinePhiladelphia) give 8 excellent neuroscience talks! Breakfast, lunch, and happy hour provided to all registrants! Register at: spinephilly.org/schedule

Congratulations to Michael Ryan and Ally Girasole for their new manuscript on striatal activity and connectivity in a mouse model of Parkinson's Disease and levodopa-induced dyskinesia. Thanks to our collaborators at NIH, including Chip Gerfen! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

What happens when action selection fails? To find out, we probed intrinsic & synaptic properties of striatal neurons in a Parkinson's disease mouse model. Hint: dopamine sensitivity & motor cortical/thalamic inputs are key. Alexandra Nelson Ally Girasole biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our lab was awarded an EE Just Postdoctoral Fellowship from UNCF, and we are looking for a postdoc candidate for this award. Very competitive salary and independent research budget for the fellow. If you, or someone you know is interested and eligible, get in touch ASAP.

Looks like Stevenson’s law is being overcome. Amazing achievement.

My lab at UCLA has an open spot for a postdoc to do 2P and Neuropixels in awake behaving marmosets. NHP background not required; imaging expertise strongly preferred. Email me at alexhuk at ucla dot edu for more info.

Our article has been published in Nature Communications! Thank you to the editors, reviewers, and my co-authors Tatiana Engel Anne Churchland for a thoughtful and thorough editorial process. The updated article is available at rdcu.be/c278F

Exciting opportunity for undergrad students to spend a summer month doing research in our lab in Puerto Rico 😊

Are you a fidgeter? Me too!! We told you a while back that those fidgets impact neural activity in a big way. But we didn't know what their impact was on the decisions of trained experts. Find out in our new preprint. #fidget #neuroscience biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🚨 neuro postdocs 🚨 Apps are open for year 2 of UCLA SYNCS -- a Brain Research Institute funded extramural postdoc seminar series highlighting postdocs engaging impactful research AND community building. Please RT and apply now! tinyurl.com/SYNCS2023 See flyer or DM for details.

Tweeting this again in case there is anyone interested in working on this extremely exciting project.

ONE WEEK LEFT (deadline Aug.14) to become a P-SPINE fellow. help making our 3rd annual Symposium a success! Fellows get free travel, food, lodging in Philly and great exposure to local neuroscience community in day-long Seminar. Plz RT and share.

This year, #BreastCancerAwarenesMonth has personal significance for me & my lab members. Folks, take this opportunity to get screened and/or tell your mum, sister, aunt, friend or partner to do the same. Please RT and spread the word!

At #SfN24 and interested in chronic neuropixels: we prepared “starter kits” for our chronic fixture: 𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙚! Go by Maxwell D. Melin ‘s poster Monday morning (Z25) and get one with all you need to get a probe implanted before the dinner time!
