Interesting new work demonstrating that learning-induced oligodendrogenesis is crucial for memory consolidation and spatial learning. This work implies myelin plasticity is a major regulator of neuronal connectivity necessary for learning. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

There’s An Unexpected Loss Of Smell And Taste In Coronavirus Patients forbes.com/sites/judyston… please RT Asaf Ronel השולחן של נדב make sure to self isolate if smell/taste lost Thanks Paule Joseph, PhD, MBA, CRNP, FAAN for sharing!

Wondering how COVID-19 may cause anosmia? Us too! Check out our (very!) recent work taking a small first step towards exploring mechanisms through which SARS-CoV might damage our sense of smell. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

To all 🐭 Cre driver line users: this is a highly collaborative #NeuroResource reporting variable rates of germline recombination in many lines, & importantly providing guidelines for detecting & minimizing unwanted germline recombination bit.ly/2KlKUm8

Had to re-post this without the soundtrack apparently 🤷‍♀️Anyway, Ca2+ signals in contractile cells of the mouse mammary gland during milk ejection (lactation). We have also updated the pre-print with some cool new data biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Synaptic vesicle fusion along axons is driven by myelination and subsequently accelerates sheath growth in an activity-regulated manner biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_neursci

Excited to share our new molecular calcium integrator (“FLiCRE”) work just published in Cell! After engineering & optimizing the calcium- & blue-light gating of FLiCRE, we use it in the mouse brain to map how 2 brain regions (PFC & NAc) are.... tinyurl.com/y3gxlhp6

1) It is with great joy that I announce the submission (finally :-)) of Iris Odstrcil’s (Iris Odstrcil) masterpiece on the "Functional and ultrastructural analysis of reafferent mechanosensation in larval zebrafish." to BioRxiv biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I’m very happy to share our new preprint @bioRxiv on ‘Whole-brain mapping of effective connectivity by fMRI with cortex-wide patterned optogenetics’. We combined fMRI with mesoscopic patterned optogenetics to enable high-throughput mapping of brainwide effective connectivity. 1/5

🐈CATS-alert🐈 on #FluorescenceFriday I am excited to share my main PhD project with y'all: Comprehensive Analysis of nervous Tissues across Scales (CATS) - a toolbox for uncovering brain tissue architecture with light microscopy! 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Surprising combination: lifetime, widefield, voltage imaging, and kiloherz frame rate!

Our patterned optogenetic fMRI paper is on line now! Great collaboration between optic Myunghwan (Mark) Choi, Seonghoon Kim (Sean) and fMRI teams Hyun Seok Moon, CNIR-IBS. cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

A long and painful journey coming to a good end. Ingenious application of all-optical circuit control by Amelie Bergs in the Gottschalk lab.

Our patterned optogenetic fMRI paper (doi.org/10.1016/j.neur…) was featured as the cover of Neuron with great Preview by Anna Roe (doi.org/10.1016/j.neur…)!! Thank you CNIR-IBS Myunghwan (Mark) Choi Hyun Seok Moon Seonghoon Kim (Sean)

Our paper on fluorescence lifetime voltage imaging of neurons is out! We combine kilohertz frame rate, micrometer spatial scale, and picosecond lifetime resolution in vivo. Check out the videos and original thread below. Cheng Huang science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

“You were right, Kati.” How Our Brutal Science System Almost Cost Us A Pioneer Of mRNA Vaccines wbur.org/news/2021/02/1…

Excited to share our preprint on a new way of acquiring voltage imaging data by assigning an ROI to a pixel (DeMOSAIC). Huge thanks to the brilliant team: Seonghoon Kim (Sean) Adam Cohen Linlin Fan Tian He Jiamin Wu Iksung Kang Gwanho Yixin Prof. Dai. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

How many pixels do we need to record the functional activity of neurons in calcium or voltage imaging? We developed a novel functional imaging pipeline that compress the optical signal in each ROI into a single pixel. Are you interested why we developed this method?🧵(1/7)
