We partnered with Loren Frank HHMI Lab UC San Francisco to deliver Spyglass, an open-source framework that promotes data shareability and reproducibility. Read our blog post to learn how we added a MySQL sidecar for storing neurophysiological data in the cloud. 2i2c.org/blog/2024/hhmi…

This!

🚀 Massive announcement 🚀 So excited to share that I am joining National Centre for Biological Sciences to start a research program on the neuroscience of action, cognition and timing this September!🧠🔁🏃🏾‍♀️ There are a million feelings & countless people to thank. This will be LONG: Buckle up! 🥁🚂🧵

Indian neuroscience community just got a massive upgrade! Abhilasha (Abhilasha Joshi, PhD) is an amazing scientist and a wonderful person! ❤️

Congratulations to my (new-ish) colleague, Qili Liu and her team for this exciting work on how dietary setpoints are controlled in flies, perhaps particularly relevant given that Ozempic seems to affect appetite but doesn’t reset setpoints in people. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Very happy to finally have THE major chunk of my PhD out! Tata Institute of Fundamental Research Grateful to all the coauthors for their amazing contribution to this work. Key highlights of the paper from Vidita Vaidya quoted below. But there are some side nuggets also - summarizing in a thread here:

Beyond grateful to share two co-first author papers that came out in nature!! With Amit Vinograd, we provide causal evidence for a line attractor in the mammalian brain! And with Mengyu Liu 刘孟宇, we show that line attractors might be a common mechanism for emotions beyond anger!

Hippocampus generates an internal model of Euclidean space. We ventured in a spatial odyssey exploring how much of the internal model is a priori, innate (Nature) and what is contributed by postnatal experience of Euclidean geometry (Nurture) Our answer@ nature.com/articles/s4146…👇

Need a power/sample size calculation for a study or upcoming grant? Led by Emil Hodzic-Santor, we built a simple, free, and pain-free (!) shiny app. feedback welcome plz share with interested parties. check it out: powercalc.ca 🦾🤓 Michelle Sholzberg Kieran Campbell Lianne Jeffs

An astonishing *seven* open access papers in @nature tonight describing the structure and function of the Drosophila brain and its 140,000 neurons. Amazing work by dozens of researchers in the FlyWire consortium. Congratulations all! nature.com/nature/volumes…

Sitaraman Lab will be at SFN with three of our amazing graduate students: Preeti Sundaramurthi, Namrata Dhungana and Yi Shen Lee and three posters on completely unpublished new stuff from the lab.

It's warming to see the traction our #flywire fly brain connectome is getting. To highlight one neat thing: w/ Yijie Yin and V. Hartenstein we mapped out the developmental building blocks of the brain ('hemilineages'), enabling us to group neurons by their evo-devo origins:

The Ruediger Lab at UCL is expanding, with a postdoc position available, & my colleague Dan Bendor at the IBN also has an exciting role opening up. Passionate about in vivo Ephys/2p-Imaging, mouse behavior & circuit interactions? Happy to chat about opportunities at SfN!

Shubha Tole (she/her), neuroscientist Tata Institute of Fundamental Research is set to head the International Brain Research Organisation IBRO - International Brain Research Organization, making her the first president to be elected from a developing country

📢📢📢 Our lab will be looking to support 1-2 PhD or Int-Ph. D. students in 2025. If you are interested in how the brain🧠 represents space and how this links with action🏃🏾‍♀️ Apply! Deadline to register for JGEEBILS qualifying exam is 20th October (11 pm, NOT 12😅) ⬇️ RT🙏🏾

📢 Are you a #masters student seeking a Graduate Trainee/Research Internship or a #PhD student wrapping up your thesis? Are you fascinated by how the #brain represents space & connects to #action? Join us! We're looking for kind, curious, and driven individuals. Details ⬇️ RT 🙏🏾

Healthy #microglia are essential, but their ability to switch from an #inflamed to a healthy state is transformative. In #glaucoma model, we reveal how this shift occurs in the optic nerve, driven by a small lipid mediator. Check out my postdoc work published in Molecular Neurodegeneration 1/3

We recorded the activity of neurons within this network during 2 hours of social interactions. Interestingly, as the animals became more sociable the baseline and locomotor-related activity greatly diminished in MBONs previously implicated in aversive learning.

What if you could target brain regions important for recovery after spinal cord injury with DBS? Can you say hypothamamus? Guess what Cho and colleagues from Switzerland did just that in a brilliant new paper Nature Medicine. Key Points: - People don't think about it, but guess

Our lab in the Center for Neural and Cognitive Sciences will be taking two students for PhD program. Candidates interested in investigating neural circuit mechanisms underlying behavior in insect model systems using neuroethology, electrophysiology, and computational approaches
