What a year Ishmail Abdus-Saboor! Congrats on the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) Young Investigator Award!

I am excited to share an updated preprint from my PhD work with Lisa Giocomo! This project was co-led by Konstantin Kaganovsky when he was a PhD student with Tom Südhof. 🧵below! Hippocampal place code plasticity in CA1 requires postsynaptic membrane fusion biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We are hiring at multiple levels to join our team jstarklab.com MIT Dept of BE Koch Institute at MIT Apply below! Postdoc: tinyurl.com/3nufr3rp Lab Coordinator: tinyurl.com/3rhjvdf3 Tech: tinyurl.com/wud3hp6k Please repost! #immunoengineering #synbio #glycotime #newPI

Happy to announce our new preprint on fast and light efficient volumetric voltage imaging with FLIPR microscopy – led by the outstanding Urs biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Wow! Stanford launches the Human Neural Circuitry Research Program 😄 🧠! " Stanford University Stanford Medicine Stanford Health Care med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/…

Meet our newest faculty member Linlin Fan, who is advancing all-optical methods to study learning and memory. picower.mit.edu/news/new-picow… #neuroscience #MIT #brain MIT Science MIT Brain and Cognitive Sciences

Dear colleagues – we have an opening for a postdoctoral associate in the lab to study the molecular machinery of synaptic transmission and mechanisms by which neuronal subtypes differentially control synaptic strength. If you know of someone interested, have them email me. Thanks

We are hiring a tech in our lab @ UC Davis! We develop tools to study how neural circuits elicit behavioral changes in motivation/memory/drug-use. Apply here: recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF06295 You can expect a friendly & fast paced learning environment, publications, and conferences!

**Announcement**: we are excited to share that registration is now open for the 2024 SculptedLightintheBrain conference edition that will take place from June19th to 21st in beautiful Paris! Secure your early bird spot before April 1st! sculptedlight.org

Excited to share our new work Science Magazine-we demonstrated all-optical interrogation of inhibitory synaptic transmission and plasticity during behavior! Kudos to our wonderful collaborators Barna Dudok, Soltesz Lab, and of course, my amazing mentor and advisor Karl Deisseroth

congratulations Linlin Fan & team... tracking natural *inhibitory* synaptic plasticity in mammals! w/ the very same designed-opsin pair that we had generated earlier to track *excitatory* plasticity in behaving mice (our structure-guided channelrhodopsin bC1C2TG & QuasAr6a)

Hear from pioneers on advanced optical techniques to crack neural codes at SLB2024 in Paris! Deadline Coming Soon. Register at sculptedlight.org

Excited to co-chair this symposium with tina kim at #MMIN2024 We will survey cutting-edge approaches to monitoring and manipulating neural activity from some of the field's rising stars!

Had a blast at #MMiN catching up with old friends Ismail Ahmed & Linlin Fan, and meeting new ones Julieta Lis. Both Linlin and Julieta started new labs at MIT and NIH - check them out if you’re looking for exciting labs with amazing mentors! (and Ismail Ahmed soon to follow 😛)

Closing proceedings with Michael Hausser sharing his SLB ‘wish list’ #SLB2024

What an amazing conference SLB! Kudos to the organisers: Lamiae Abdeladim, Jacques Carolan, Linlin Fan, Gregory Handy, Murat Yildirim, Ian Antón Oldenburg, and of course #Eirini! Some moments below. 😊

🎉Congratulations to Linlin Fan, on being named a Klingenstein-Simons Fellow in #Neuroscience! Fan is studying endocannabinoid-mediated inhibitory synaptic plasticity in learning and memory. picower.mit.edu/news/fellowshi… @KlingensteinOrg Simons Foundation MIT Brain and Cognitive Sciences

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!

And it’s out! Our lab’s very first paper is published today Nature Methods! Our calcium-activated split-TurboID (CaST) can biochemically tag activated neurons within 10 minutes, enabling a molecular handle on functionally relevant cell ensembles: tinyurl.com/ddyecxze
