Day 16 ACAN 2023: Morning lectures by Rodrigo Suarez on the evolution & development of the cerebral cortex, and studies of neurogenesis & neural circuit formation by Laura Fenlon. Special night lecture by Miriam Matamales. Lots of material for post lecture drinks. Australasian Neuroscience Society (ANS)

After a phenomenal and intensive 3 weeks at ACAN, saying goodbye to an amazing group of scientists! Thanks to the organisers, instructors, and students for such a special experience! The Florey Australasian Neuroscience Society (ANS) NeuroModuLab

Very proud of this collaborative effort between Rodrigo Suárez, PhD and my labs out in PNAS today describing the brain of the extinct Tasmanian Tiger from 100-year-old slides! The beautiful drawing is further testament to Rodrigo Suárez, PhD 's many varied talents 🔬🥼🧠pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

The thylacine, or Tasmanian tiger, is extinct, but samples of its brain exist, allowing researchers to compare its brain to canids’ brains. Thylacines had wolfish heads, but their contents were quite unwolfish, more like Tasmanian devils' brains. In PNAS: ow.ly/Nkcp50PrfSK

The Dehorter Lab Queensland Brain Institute, UQ offers a fully funded #PhDposition to work on an exciting project on interneuron #development and #autism. MORE INFO here👉shorturl.at/pyzFP 👉shorturl.at/mqBM6 Deadline: September 30, 2023; Starting date: Jan 2024. Please RT!

New work from our lab out now in Nature Communications! A similarly sized marsupial takes 3x longer to develop than a mouse, but do all cortical neurodevelopmental processes temporally scale to different timeframe uniformly? No! 🦘👩‍🔬🧠🔬nature.com/articles/s4146…

New review out from the lab about perhaps the largest stereotypical aberrant tract in the brain: Probst bundles. Led by the wonderful Zorana Lynton, what can their natural formation teach us about brain plasticity and compensation? frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

We're hiring! New post-doc role at University of Sydney with Joseph Lizier and Ben Fulcher focussed on whole-brain neuroimaging and some cool computational methods. Full app details here: usyd.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/USYD_EXTERNAL_…. To start in July 24. Feel free to reach out if you have Qs. Oh, and please RT!
