Octopuses (yes that’s the plural) are amazing. This one is tiny. Unlike humans, their brains GROW continually across the lifespan. Thank you University of Oregon & Cris Niell for the tour of the amazing Neuroscience happening here. I’ve always loved UofO & Eugene.

Together with Bridget Matikainen-Ankney we're looking for a Research Project Coordinator interested in sensory processing and motivated behavior with experience in ex vivo patch and in vivo extracellular electrophysiology. DM me or find me at SfN! Society for Neuroscience (SfN) neurojobs.sfn.org/job/37166/rese…

We're hiring! New postdoc position in the saleemlab.com. Come join our exciting research program on how the brain learns to represent space. Lots of cool tools (rodent VR, AR - Neuropixels, head-mounted 2p) and great people. tinyurl.com/ysea65t3

Recordings in visual cortex (V1) of mice and marmosets revealed neurons respond to gaze shifts in a sequence, such that new visual input is processed in a “coarse” to “fine” manner @cosmousevision Dylan Martins @emmalynleonard Cris Niell Jude Mitchell nature.com/articles/s4159…

Have you ever wondered how brains convert sensory info into abstract, cognitive entities? The Kim Lab #mcdb #dyns UCSB NRI UCSB and the Wernet Lab Department Biology, Chemistry, Pharmacy FU Berlin Freie Universität reconstructed the neural circuits that carry visual information to the navigation center in the fruit fly brain.

New preprint showing that flying flies use a previously undescribed yet highly stereotyped search behavior in still air. Fantastic work by my postdoc David Stupski! Feedback is welcome! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #drosophila #preprint #olfaction

Just 10 days left to submit abstracts, requests for financial support, and applications for hands-on workshops at the first ever Cephalopod Neuroscience Conference Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL)! Due date December 15, 2023. sites.google.com/view/cephneuro…

The Cousa objective: Having 20 mm of working distance in air can enable new experiments for two-photon imaging, particularly challenging experiments in living animals. The Cousa manuscript is out now. Open access. doi.org/10.1038/s41592… (1/n)

More octopus content for your holiday reading! Thank you to Tessa Montague Cris Niell Frederike Hanke and Sonke Johnsen for your help with this! Scroll down to see a cute video from Montague that didn't get included in the piece🐙 scientificamerican.com/article/octopu…

1/7 First #preprint from my lab just posted! Team effort from the entire lab - think of it as our debut. New behavior to ask how hearing is integrated with free movement of the whole body. Mice surprisingly resilient to #hearingloss, in an unexpected way tiny.cc/biorxiv

🚨Postdoc in visual/computational neuroscience (#NeuroAI) 🚨 Come help us figure out how the mouse brain processes visual information during active exploration to support navigation: bionicvisionlab.org/join #PhDone #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter #neurotwitter

Excited to announce our latest #neuroevodevo #crossspecies #viraltools paper with Maria Antonietta Tosches and team using AAVs to explore brain and spinal circuits in frog and salamander biorxiv.org/content/10.110….

The NIH recently sent a film crew out to #UCSB to document the work we do in the Bionic Vision Lab as part of our NIH New Innovator Award to develop a Smart #BionicEye: youtu.be/m2WXEjewqho

It’s CosyneMeeting workshops time! Join us tomorrow to think about what unique species and comparative work can bring to systems + comp neuro Siddharth Jayakumar #Cosyne24

Excited to share our review on natural visual behavior and active sensing by SkybergRolf at Current Opinion in Neurobiology. There are a lot of important visual computations that get engaged once an animal is actively interacting with the environment! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

How monkeys 'really' see the world! Wireless eye-tracking in marmosets. Incredible game changing work by VIKRAM PAL SINGH showing the dynamics of active vision in a free-moving primate Jingwen Li Jude Mitchell biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Thanks #TheBRAINInitiative for funding!

1/ Is there a computational reason why excitatory and inhibitory V1 neurons differ in their responses, tuning, connectivity and temporal dynamics? 🤔 In our preprint we show how a spiking V1 model captures these neural phenomena and more under a single principle of prediction. 🧠

Our paper "Cellular-resolution gene expression mapping reveals organization in the head ganglia of the gastropod, Berghia stephanieae" just came out in J. Comparative Neurology. Desmond Ramirez, Thi Bui, and Paul Katz. We found many unexpected things... doi.org/10.1002/cne.25…

I am very excited to share the news that Angelique Allen Angelique Allen was selected as an HHMI Gilliam Fellow! I'm so impressed by everything she is doing in lab and beyond - congratulations! 🐙🔬🎉

New paper from the lab published in Nature Communications today: nature.com/articles/s4146… led by first author Luis M. Franco Brief recap of the findings in the thread below:
