The Shuman Lab at Friedman Brain Institute is looking for new postdocs! With new funding💸 and students graduating🎓we now have 2+ postdoc positions open in the lab. We use in vivo recordings and manipulations to investigate memory circuits and how they go wrong in neurological diseases.👇

Check out our new paper on feeding in Nature Communications 🔥! Along the way we answer a question that has puzzled philosophers for centuries: Does activation of periaqueductal gray (PAG) vgat cells make mice follow ping-pong balls? nature.com/articles/s4146…

Come work with us in sunny SoCal: We’re recruiting a postdoc!!! We’re an inclusive team of behavioral neuroscientists trying to discover the brain circuits that help us learn about rewarding events and use that info to make good decisions. More info👇 wassumlab.psych.ucla.edu/join-the-lab/

If you are interested in miniaturized 2P imaging, check out this amazing preprint by Blake Madruga Peyman Golshani. The image quality is FANTASTIC!!

🚨🚨🚨Check out this amazing work by Blake Madruga and Peyman Golshani! Expanding the UCLA Miniscope Team to multi-photon approaches!

So excited to present Blake Madruga 's amazing biorxiv paper on the first of our new generation of open-source 2-photon miniaturized microscopes. The scope has excellent resolution and great sensitivity such that we can image dendrites in RSC and image DG through an intact CA1.

Hear ye!🔔 🔔 Applications are open to postdocs for Princeton's postdoc symposium TigerBrain! Come to PNI to talk about your work and meet our awesome faculty! Brad Dickerson and I would love to meet you! Apps due 8/15 forms.gle/8zEyzfJwZcDzPH… Plz RT🙌

Thrilled to see my article featured on The Transmitter! Learn about our journey of creating open-source Miniscopes and their impact on neuroscience. thetransmitter.org/open-neuroscie… #OpenScience #Neuroscience #Innovation Miniscope Team

thank you to all the engrammers who put in so much thought and work to make each chapter possible! happy reading everyone -- we hope you find as much insight and inspiration here to keep transforming our understanding of memory 🧠. onward!

And it’s out! Our lab’s very first paper is published today Nature Methods! Our calcium-activated split-TurboID (CaST) can biochemically tag activated neurons within 10 minutes, enabling a molecular handle on functionally relevant cell ensembles: tinyurl.com/ddyecxze

It has been great collaboration with Daniel Aharoni 's lab, especially changliang guo. Wonderful Miniscope Team ! The cool MiniXL will enable more exciting work in the near future!

Session proposals for the 2025 Park City Learning and Memory meeting (Jan 2-5) are now open! This is a fun meeting that allows ample time for discussions and interactions with trainees. Feel free to reach out to me or Steve Ramirez. See website for more info: parkcitywinterconf.org

Come join us! We are hiring again for a new faculty member. The department is truly a supportive and collaborative group, where folks can (and have) develop an outstanding research program. Also feel free to DM if you have questions. utah.peopleadmin.com/postings/170290
