🔥 tip for grad student/postdoc advisors: 1st meeting of the new year w/ mentee should be for setting scientific, professional & career development goals for the year. What projects will they advance/start? What conference(s) to attend? What skills do they want to gain/improve,

One week left to apply to our post-bacc program. A great way for students from historically underrepresented backgrounds to get more research experience before grad school. DM me with any questions. bcs.mit.edu/diversity-equi… Please RT.

Here begins another day of inspiring talks and posters at the midwinter meeting of #ARO2023. #auditoryResearch #Orlando #science

Preprint alert! Auditory midbrain plasticity reflects the predictability of sound-context associations experienced by mice in a naturalistic environment, independently of reward. With a great team headed by Chi Chen. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

First, in rats (PMID: 22654062), then in primates (PMID: 27830790), and now in humans (nature.com/articles/s4158…) — this is why we need animal research. Congrats to G Courtine and cols — impressive work! Walking naturally after spinal cord injury using a brain–spine interface.

Introducing the Allen Brain Cell (ABC) Atlas [ʙᴇᴛᴀ] representing ~5,200 newly transcriptomic-defined cell types and their spatial locations across the whole mouse brain. 🧵 Access ABC Atlas data visualization & pre-publication #openscience datasets: knowledge.brain-map.org/data/LVDBJAW8B…

Exciting new whole brain spatial transcriptomics dataset released by the Allen Institute. This will greatly aid the identification of cell types in the brain and the study of their functions, esp. in understudied areas Allen Brain Cell Atlas: community.brain-map.org/t/introducing-…

The Hearing Institute Paris (IdA) and Institut Pasteur open a new group leader position. High level international environment, attractive starting package, a good place to develop your ideas. research.pasteur.fr/en/call/creati…

My lab is open to colleagues afected by the horrific violence. Berlin. Auditory systems neuroscience

In this JNP paper, we showed that #InferiorColliculus neuronal responses to sound modulation reflect the mouse behavioral limits very well, especially when represented in a population-based model. Follow up coming soon… #auditory #neuroscience #AmplitudeModulation

Wow😍

Very excited to announce this GRC which I am co-chairing with Mala Murthy. I also want to encourage applications from students, postdocs and junior faculty who have never attended a Gordon Conference and who interested in this topic.

Transgenic Tet- and Cre-inducible jGCaMP8m/s mice lines are now available as pre-order from JAX.  Janelia is distributing a new RiboL1-tagged line that localizes jGCaMP8s to the soma.  Check out the white paper describing all the lines and order here: forms.gle/jnmBfZdh8g7QVR…

🐭 Auditory system researchers, lend your ears 😉! Blom Kraakman & team from Aaron B. Wong lab introduce a protocol for accessing the mouse's inferior colliculus tailored for long-term, awake studies with #2photonmicroscopy & #ephys: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38156034/

A joint PhD position between Marseille and Konstanz. Deadline 15th February. Theoretical and experimental work on the tension between time versus effort during mice foraging . Exciting opportunity . Centre for the Adv Study of Collective Behaviour Integrative Biophysics Group Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior Universität Konstanz CENTURI - Turing Centre for Living Systems

⌛️⌛️Final days to apply for the Neural Mechanisms of Acoustic Communication GRC & GRS! & don't forget to register! Check out our fantastic program & apply here: grc.org/neural-mechani… Additional speakers will be chosen quickly after the deadline so get those abstracts in 🥳🥳
