Stop by our posters at SfN this year! Society for Neuroscience (SfN)

The Dept of Molecular and Integrative Physiology at UIUC is proud to host Josh Rosenthal from MBL for the C Ladd Prosser Memorial Lecture. His talk is entitled “Recoding genetic information in the brains of cephalopods by editing messenger RNA.” Thurs 10/10, 11a, B102 CLSL

🧠At NACS Seminar tomorrow, Dr. Ross Williamson (@rs_williamson ) will tell us about "Brain-wide neural circuits for sensory-guided behavior." The talk is at 10:15am in 1103 BRB. See below for more info!🧠

The lab has recently moved to the Beckman Institute at UIUC and we are looking for someone to join our team as a lab manager. See posting below! RT

We have an opening for a postdoc position. Research questions will be in the field of auditory systems neuroscience, with the broad goal of dissecting the neuronal circuits for sensory processing, perception, and learning. For more info, check brainsoundlab.com

Latest from our lab-we developed and validated a new EEG-based measure to assess neural representation of temporal envelope cues from the auditory pathway - the dynamic amplitude modulated envelope following response (dAM EFRs) - rdcu.be/d0mTl Pitt Communication Science and Disorders Pitt SHRS

We took the Neuroscience Perspectives #podcast on the road to #SFN24 Society for Neuroscience (SfN) in Chicago! While there we caught up with Dr. S. Murray Sherman of University of Chicago Neuroscience Institute who has had quite a journey in science👇 Subscribe & watch the full interview with John J. Foxe & Dr. Sherman

When we enter a new environment, we use visual input to rapidly build an internal model of the local spatial environment. How does our brain do this? We review past literature and suggest some new ways forward in our new review in Current Biology: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S09…

Complementary Organization of Mouse Driver and Modulator Cortico-Thalamo-Cortical Circuits Layer 5 corticothalamic “driver” inputs to the pulvinar originate predominantly from V1, while L6 corticothalamic “modulator” inputs are distributed across areas. jneurosci.org/content/early/…

Happy #MicroscopyMonday everyone!📷 This image shows the inner hair cell stereocilia (green) with EPS8 (red) highlighting their tips. EPS8 is key in regulating stereocilia length and ensuring proper localization of other essential proteins.🧬🌟

NIH Brain Initiative funded multiple studies on closed loop brain stimulation for a number of neuro/pscyh conditions including Parkinson Disease. Now FDA approval granted for device that adjusts stimulation based on a person's neural activity. medpagetoday.com/neurology/park…

Disruption of transthalamic circuitry from primary visual cortex impairs visual discrimination in mice Preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Optogenetic inhibition of visual transthalamic circuitry (L5 V1 terminals in pulvinar) reduces visual discrimination jneurosci.org/content/early/…

Our next seminar speaker is tomorrow! Dr. Merri J. Rosen, Associate Professor from Northeast Ohio Medical University is scheduled for 12:00 noon in LSB 038. Come learn about "Disrupted Development: Early-life Stress Affects Auditory Circuits and Percepts."

(Plz repost) I’ve been receiving some good news lately and will be hiring at all levels to expand the lab. Please get in contact if you are interested in reinforcement learning, neural plasticity, circuit dynamics, and/or hearing rehabilitation. pierre.apostolides @ umich .edu
