For those of you who may have missed it, here is a new paper on the surprisingly selective connectivity of cortical somatostatin cells that we just published in Neuron ! Sherry Wu Elaine Sevier authors.elsevier.com/a/1hKi6_KOmxJl…

Come and work with us in Sunny London! We have up to two postdoctoral positions to investigate the cellular, circuit and synaptic basis of how internal states such as hunger and thirst can be used to guide behaviour. Apply until Feb 8th here: ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…

It was a pleasure to have Hongkui Zeng from the Allen Institute visit us at KAUST and deliver an outstanding lecture on the diversity of cell types in the brain. Our conversations were enriching and it was a joy to show her around Al Balad. Thank you for a memorable visit.

Let me highlight and contextualize our new study that will undoubtedly be controversial: ‘Most axonal mitochondria in cortical pyramidal neurons lack mitochondrial DNA and consume ATP’. Long thread 👇🏻 1/ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

This conference HHMI | Janelia will assemble researchers at the intersection of development & behavior to illuminate how developmental mechanisms shape complex behaviors Learn more & apply by June 17 @ janelia.news/DOB24 @HHMINews Isabel Espinosa Medina Josie Clowney David Schoppik

Science needs reimagining. In my first column in the middle east, I write in Arab News about the unique opportunity burgeoning R&D ecosystems have to pioneer bold new models & set new a global standard - rather than trying to fit one. Please read and share arab.news/4uxka

Please RT! Erlich Lab and my lab are jointly recruiting 2 fully-funded postdocs (theorists and experimentalists) to work on multi-agent economic decision-making, towards understanding cognition in psychiatric conditions. Come work with us at the amazing SWC!

Apply for the Allen institute NGL program. It’s been an amazing and enriching experience. Feel free to reach out, happy to answer any questions.

Check out the latest preprint from the De Biasio Lab using Cryo-EM and modeling to capture the dynamics of DNA unwinding for replication.

In our latest study, we show the existence of a developmental window in which olfaction affects the development of somatosensory processing. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

We are looking for a postdoc and a research technician! Join us if you are interested to investigate the early genetic programs underlying experience-dependent circuit maturation @CHSL! Email me or apply here: schooljobs.com/careers/cshl?k…

Congratulations to CSHL Assistant Professor Gabrielle Pouchelon for this extraordinary achievement! 🙌 Gabrielle Pouchelon

Amazing work by the extraordinay Shuhan Huang in elucidating the in vivo functional properties and roles of the most exciting and least studied inhibitory neurons, the Neurogliaform cells in visual processing.

Happy to share our new paper (and first from the lab!) Nature Communications . Thanks to Deepanjali Dwivedi, PhD and twitter-less Dimitri Dumontier co-leading the study. Thanks to Gord Fishell and collaborators Sandeep Robert Datta and Sherry Lin, who all made it possible! nature.com/articles/s4146… 🧵

And we are still looking for a postdoc! If you are interested in exploring the genetic programs of developing circuits as in this paper, please contact me!

Cortical interneurons learn on the job! Speculated this was true a decade ago! Sherry Wu and Min Dai finally provide evidence! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Regarding our interneuron enhancer paper!! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Breaking News!!! Addgene has just released them: addgene.org/browse/article…

1/3 Exciting News! We're hiring at all levels immediately for our lab U of Utah Department of Neurobiology Join us in cutting-edge research at the intersection of neuroscience and chemical biology! We aim to explore how neuropeptides modulate behavior and physiology. Pls RT!

How can memories persist in the brain when their properties and supporting biological substrates change over time and experiences? Our latest work newly published in Science Magazine proposes that a balance between memory dynamics and persistence is achieved through the
