Inter-connectome comparisons!!!

Hey there. We’re hiring! Fully-funded Postdoc/PhD positions are open in my lab Universität Würzburg #UniWürzburg. Get in touch if you’re interested in joining this fantastic crew 👇 Details here: theachelab.org/open-positions #neuroscience #drosophila #AcademicChatter. RT appreciated.

Mesmerizing…time for more popcorns!

More fireworks 💥

Would you like to shape the future of connectomics ... even neuroscience? Fresh from finishing the two largest connectomes ever, we have post-doc and research assistant positions in the Fly Connectome group Dept of Zoology (collab w @MRC_LMB Scott Waddell Janelia Fly EM) Pls RT 1/4

Last 2d to apply for post-doc and research assistant positions in our #connectomics group!

Make your next discovery using #Rastermap, a visualization method for large-scale neural data. Paper now out, w/ Marius Pachitariu : biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share a project years in the making where we tracked the formation of a hippocampal cognitive map. We observed learning led to gradual decorrelation in neural activity, resulting in orthogonalized representations akin to a state machine capturing the task structure.

Very excited to announce we have two research scientist positions open! More info here: kaunlab.com/post/hiring-2-….

The Albeanu lab is looking for a Research Technician to investigate the neural circuits underlying olfactory perception. Experiments involve behavioral assays, functional imaging, optogenetic manipulations and high-throughput DNA barcoding circuit mapping. tinyurl.com/3cpz38r2

🎉Happy to announce that I opened my computational neuroscience group at INMED and CENTURI - Turing Centre for Living Systems, on the wonderful campus of Luminy in Marseille. We will focus on the neural dynamics of memory and learning. Contact me if interested in PhD and PostDoc positions in the lab.

Very excited to share our new preprint! Huge thanks to my collaborator and co-first author Ben Sorscher (bsorsch.github.io) and our advisors Lisa Giocomo and Surya Ganguli! (1/13) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New paper from the lab @bioRvix, led by amazingly talented grad students John Wen and Ben Sorscher and in collab with Surya Ganguli! How does the mammalian brain make maps for navigation on the fly? Check out the thread below for a great overview (and origin story) of the work!

Our new paper led by John Wen & Ben Sorscher w/ Lisa Giocomo revealing how grid cells fuse landmarks & self-motion to create maps of new environments in a *single* exposure; our model predicts the detailed map of a new env *before* the mouse enters it! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share #AlphaMissense our new AI system that can classify whether genetic mutations (missense variants) are benign or harmful - a critical step toward uncovering causes of many diseases, from cystic fibrosis to cancer. In Science Magazine today dpmd.ai/AlphaMissenseDH

please consider scanning our latest manuscript from Arthur Zhao (TrendByArdıçlı), which is essentially a love letter to the beautiful Lobula Plate Tangential neurons in 𝘋𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘢, many years in the making: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

#postdoc and #phdposition available in my lab in Marseille CENTURI - Turing Centre for Living Systems & INMED 🎉🎉 If you are interested in building models of brain computations and developing data analysis tools with cool experimental collaborators, please apply! More info: bit.ly/3MRGiVu

Grateful for the amazing environment and fantastic colleagues at HHMI | Janelia. This collaborative work is built on top of the groundbreaking achievements of the fly connectome team, Janelia GENIE , and world-class scientific support teams.

AI & the connectome are enabling scientists to do what they never thought possible: predict the activity of individual neurons without a single measurement in a living brain. New research led by Janelia’s Srini Turaga & Universität Tübingen’s Janne Lappalainen Jakob Macke janelia.org/news/researche…

What can AI do if merged with an evolution-tuned neural network? Get a first glimpse:
