Grateful to everyone for reaching out today! Here’s a tribute to Peter and Dieter, my good friends in this globe-spanning collaboration. Open-access, so pass it on if you like… International unity in the service of science is more important now than ever. doi.org/10.1016/j.cell…

Are you looking for a postdoc position in systems neuroscience? Join us at the Mena lab! Our research focuses on the dissection of midbrain circuits underlying movement preparation and goal-directed behavior. Please help us spread the word! Last days! menalab.org

We (nelsonlab.ucsf.edu) are looking to recruit new physiology enthusiasts to the lab! We study basal ganglia circuitry and how it goes awry in movement disorders using in vivo electrophysiology, imaging, optogenetics, and mouse models. If you’re interested, send us an email!

The mouse cortico–basal ganglia–thalamic network disq.us/t/41qv3qh - awesome work delineating the multiple parallel pathways through this action selection network 🐭🧠

EXCITING NEWS: The Thalamocortical Interactions GRC will go ahead in person Feb 6-11, 2022. Awesome speakers & great discussions about the Thalamus in beautiful Tuscany, Italy! Please RT and register now to secure your spot (meeting is size limited). grc.org/thalamocortica…

We are hiring! tinyurl.com/d4kanmbh My team is moving to Seattle as part of a soon-to-launch new Allen Institute focused on neural computations. Please share with promising candidates. Farewell HHMI | Janelia! Will miss you immensely but thrilled to be part of the new #AIx2.

Do you do 2p calcium imaging? Do you want a better ROI classifier? Send me your ROIs! Send me your (raw unlabeled) spatial footprints/masks: stat.npy files from Suite2p, estimates.A files from CaImAn, or whatever format you have. Please DM me the files or links.

Mark your calendars!

Watch out, if doing 2-photon imaging of GPCR-based neurotransmitter sensors! dLight and co are extremely polarization dependent. This is, because cpGFP is anchored at both its ends and cannot rotate. Read on to learn what this means and how to overcome it biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Wonderful to see our COIN model of motor repertoire learning published. Great work by James Heald James Heald in collaboration with Máté Lengyel. rdcu.be/cBYhM Great accompanying N&V by Anne Collins @Anne_on_Tw and Sam McDougle Sam McDougle nature.com/articles/d4158…

Please check out our paper now published Neuron. We show that learning and attention rely on distinct mechanisms, see below for the tweetprint! cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

Super happy to see this out! Long live patch clamp electrophysiology…

Highly recommended for those interested in the latest optical approaches for neuroscience.

Please R/T: Our video representation learning challenge for multi-agent animal behavior is going on now! Deadline July 3. More info here: aicrowd.com/challenges/mul… Led by Jennifer J. Sun & Ann Kennedy

We didn't get a ton of people interested in childcare grants. If you are coming to SLB and incur childcare related costs (even if the kid doesn't come, or isn't born yet) let us know by June 15th, we'd like to help out. sculptedlight.org

Our Multi-Agent Behavior workshop at CVPR 2022 starting in one hour (9am CT). Information on how to attend virtually or in person here: sites.google.com/view/mabe22/ho… Jennifer J. Sun Ann Kennedy Yisong Yue Vivek Kumar AIcrowd @Pselaphinae

João e Andreas não estão satisfeitos com a envolvente da escola dos seus filhos. E fizeram um pequeno estudo para quantificar os problemas que apontam: tráfego de atravessamento e velocidade excessivas na envolvente escolar. Agora, pedem mudanças à Câmara. lisboaparapessoas.pt/2022/06/27/esc…

🚨First preprint from the lab!! All credit goes to Francesca Greenstreet & Hernando Martinez who co-led this project. tinyurl.com/47w98a6b We show that movement-related striatal dopamine signals encode an action prediction error, a value free teaching signal. 🧵👇 1/25

Very nice, Marcus. Congrats to you and the team!

Excited to share our work done ChampalimaudF! We developed a new method for clustering dyskinesia using high-res motion sensors & video, combined with single-cell imaging. Identified striatal ensembles encoding distinct dyskinetic movements! #Parkinsons biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
