Hopp Schwiiiiiiz!!! 🇨🇭

I love the theory-forward approach in Florian Engert , in fact, Machine Learning has recently become an important counterbalance to the labs experiments! Gregor Schuhknecht

Here is a fun Bloomberg "Hello World" Video that just got released. It's about the connectomics efforts of the Lichtman and Engert labs. youtube.com/watch?v=OAWISb…

Ever wondered what makes a neuron spike? Check out experimental + modeling work my wonderful former master students Alex Gastone, Benjamin Ehret & Moritz Buchholz did with me in Kevan Martin's Lab at the Institute of Neuroinformatics at ETH Zürich & UZH Science: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Happy and proud to share that the The Scientist Scientist found my PhD work (published this January) to be one of their favorite Neuroscience stories of 2021! 😍🥳😎 @AsherGJones wrote a great article on it! Our Favorite Neuroscience Stories of 2021 the-scientist.com/news-opinion/o…

Line-up for the DST talks 2022 taking shape! The people who do the work tell the story: Join Tuesdays 17:00h CET on Zoom. #openscience #neuroscience Medicinska fakulteten, Lunds universitet Check the new schedule on: driverseattalks.com

Next week, we welcome Gregor Schuhknecht (Gregor Schuhknecht) from the Kevan Martin Lab (ETH Zurich), presenting his nature paper on new exciting insights into synaptic signalling strength! Join us on Tuesday 12-April-22 at 17:00h, CEST! #OpenScience #Neuroscience #Sciencetwitter

Academics agreeing to exciting new papers & projects…

A teaser for our upcoming preprint with Gregor Schuhknecht Andrew Bolton and Florian Engert on innateness… find it at your local bioRxiv in late October

1/n 🚨📢The most fun #Microscopy 🔬 project I've ever worked on is now online 📢🚨: Big thanks to @FritjofHelmchen for allowing me to turn 🔭 telescopes and 🐚 scallops into #multiimmersion microscope objectives! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Cool new work from the Engert lab, showing that the optomotor response in zebrafish is normal even when fish are grown in the dark or neuronal activity blocked. Is this surprising or dogma breaking? Even in mammal VC, many aspects of visual behavior do not need activity.

Come check out our poster today at #SfN22 on the Ultrastructure of a Neural Integrator Circuit in the Zebrafish Hindbrain. With Mariela Petkova and Florian Engert. Poster board X6, 11-12.

We are very excited to share our work using #zebrafish to study fast acting antidepressants work! Tl;dr –ketamine and related drugs drive minutes-long calcium elevations in astroglia sufficient to mediate their effects. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Details below:

Out now in PLOS Computational Biology! 🥳We combine patch-clamp recordings and modeling to explore how synaptic strength, short-term plasticity, and input synchrony work together to drive neuronal spikes. Enjoy the read! 🙂 journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/a…

It pays off to persist and push projects over the finish line!🥳🏁 Finally out in PLOS Comp Biol: joint work by the three fantastic master’s students I supervised during my PhD at the Institute of Neuroinformatics ETH Zürich & UZH Science: dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

Now out in Nature Communications, our paper on activity- and experience- independent maturation of sensorimotor behaviors in zebrafish. Gregor Schuhknecht Florian Engert Since the preprint, we added new experiments confirming the effect and washout of anesthesia 👇 nature.com/articles/s4146…
