Neurons in MEC doing their thing while a mouse is playing a video game. Find out more in our paper led by Malcolm Campbell and myself, together with Sam Ocko Surya Ganguli and Lisa Giocomo: cell.com/cell-reports/f…. Great thread by Lisa Giocomo here: x.com/lisa_giocomo/s…

1/ Interested in how task-driven neural networks help us understand the diverse cell types in medial entorhinal cortex (MEC), a brain area that plays a key role in navigation & memory? Stop by #NeurIPS2021 poster session 6 tomorrow (8:30 am PT, Spot F0)! tinyurl.com/4vkwzj86

Great and thorough work by my colleagues Konstantin Kaganovsky and Mark Plitt and team. They use a very clever approach to manipulate LTP. Give it a read to find out more!

Coming Wednesday World Wide Neuro 🧠🗺️ : our first seminar of 2022! @jacobbellmund and Alexander Attinger will discuss their work on the neuroscience of navigation 🧭🧠 world-wide.org/Neuro/WWNeuRis…

Come and hear about Malcolm Campbell and my work!

Visuomotor mismatch responses in V1 are a key piece of evidence for cortical prediction errors. In this preprint, we argue that locomotion related gain cannot explain these mismatch responses, as has been suggested by recent literature. 1/4 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share a method for precise whole-gene knockin in the short-lived African turquoise killifish!!! Such a fun project with @ClaireBedbrook Rahul Nagvekar Karl Deisseroth @Brunetlab!!!!

Thank you SLB! I really enjoyed participating and am looking forward to the next SLB meeting already.

Are you curious how age & Alzheimer's affect neural activity in the hippocampus? (think replay, theta sequences...) Want to develop novel interventions to try and preserve memory function? I'm looking for a postdoc to dig into these questions with me! jobrxiv.org/job/gillespie-…

We had footage of 2p build that we had recorded for teaching purposes - thanks to Ahmed Aizi who edited and voiced the video. We thought it might be useful for somebody interested in modifying their own scope: youtu.be/cZcu7FGLQl0

Adi is an exceptional scientist and a great person. Check out this ad if you are considering doing a postdoc!

Interested in freely moving recordings using Neuropixels? I'm releasing the build files, code, parts lists, and detailed protocols for my chronic recoverable implant in mice design 🐭 emilyjon.es/resources/

Our work showing that the locus coeruleus broadcasts unsigned visuomotor prediction errors to facilitate cortical sensorimotor learning is now on bioRxiv! A short thread of the main findings. Georg Keller biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The Wolff Lab is hiring! Ever wondered if rats can learn to play beach volleyball (or other cool skills)? Looking for a postdoc position and want to find out? Check out our research on motor skill learning and hit me up at #sfn2022 or send me an email!

We are paying $3400 for infant daycare at Harvard. In 2017 as a first year postdoc, this is higher than my post tax salary. It does not make sense financially to work as a postdoc and to raise a kid. You wonder why some women quit science at this point??

#postdocjobs for (wireless) deep-brain optogenetic manipulation of neurons using X-rays + build your own custom setup for 2ph-imaging in behaving mice with Bruno Pichler + get access to the latest X-ray imaging technology PSI Paul Scherrer Institut + >$85k/year + fringe benefits Please retweet!

We are looking for a Postdoc and a PhD student! Get in touch if you are interested in starting a project at the interface between spatial navigation and the visual system: beltramolab.org For PhD candidates, the application deadline is the beginning of January 2023.

Looking for neural data to analyze? You can find our electrophysiology and imaging data sets (+code/methods) on our lab website! Thousands of neurons, mostly from medial entorhinal cortex and hippocampus, recorded/imaged in behaving mice #openscience giocomolab.weebly.com/data-code-meth…

I'm super excited to share my postdoc work with Lisa Giocomo, "Parahippocampal neurons encode task-relevant information for goal-directed navigation". ¼

What is the nature of sensory prediction error signals in neocortex and the circuit-mechanisms underlying them? Genuinely thrilled to see this epic effort from Shohei Furutachi in my and Tom Mrsic-Flogel's lab out on bioRxiv: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…
