Announcing the 2nd Subcortical Sensory Circuits meeting! We have amazing speakers, including Sonja Hofer (Sonja Hofer) and David Anderson (Caltech) Subcortical Sensory Circuits: From Perception to Behavior Feb 11-14, 2025 Assisi, Italy meetings.embo.org/event/25-subco… #EMBOcircuits

Strikingly different neurotransmitter release strategies in dopaminergic subclasses biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_neursci

If you need an inline perfusion heater, for example for your patch clamp rig, here is one for <30$. nature.com/articles/s4159…

📣 The first bit of my postdoc work is out! 📣 We described another layer of heterogeneity in the fascinating dopaminergic neurons in the olfactory bulb. Follow the thread to read a tale about axonless neurons, dendrites releasing GABA and self-inhibition 👀 🧵 Grubb Lab

How natural stimuli lead to highly correlated ganglion cell activity in primate (marmoset) and mouse retina. Now out in @nature. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Wir freuen uns mit Universitätsmedizin Göttingen (UMG) und Tobias Moser über die Bewilligung eines neuen SFB. Ziel ist es, vorhandene Therapien für Patient*innen mit Sinnes- und Bewegungseinschränkungen zu verbessern und neue Behandlungsansätze zu finden.

We have a new PhD position available. Please spread the word and retweet. The project will combine retina recordings, computational modeling, and optogenetics to help further develop vision restoration therapy. See here for more information: retina.uni-goettingen.de/join-the-lab/

Congratulations to Fabian Sinz (sinzlab)! The computer scientist and neuroscientist at our university has been awarded an #ERC Consolidator Grant. His project “Vision2Action” will use #AI to show how movement influences visual processing in the brain: s.gwdg.de/hcdf6c

Come join us!

Happy to share my second paper with Peter Dayan on our decision-theoretic approach to perceptual multistability (see the tweeprint of the first paper here x.com/neuroprinciple…): A decision-theoretic model of multistability biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Human hippocampal CA3 uses specific functional coHuman hippocampal CA3 uses specific functional connectivity rules for efficient associative memory: cell.com/cell/fulltext/… Ssparse connectivity in human hippocampal CA3, and reliable transmission in CA3-CA3 synapses.

Pls retweet! Just five more days to apply for this cool (admittedly, I'm biased) and fully-funded #PhD project in our lab! #jobalert ovgu.b-ite.careers/56yvk

Great opportunity to apply to a young lab and work on exciting questions about how memories are transformed into actions, with an amazing mentor! Don't miss it!

Should I stay or should I go?! New study by Baier Lab MPI for Biological Intelligence 🇮🇱 shows that in cichlid fish mother and larvae follow their own intrinsic schedules during brood care. This leads to the larvae leaving their home shell exactly 9 days after fertilization. Find out more:

I'm excited to share our latest work at Huisken Lab, where we have developed a high-speed, aberration-corrected light sheet microscope that delivers sub-micron isotropic resolution for imaging a wide range of cleared tissues, such as a mouse brain. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The mouse cochlea is another excellent and beautiful sample imaged with our new rapid isotropic light sheet microscope. Big thanks to Lennart Roos for preparing the sample precisely. The video shows the spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs). AuditoryNeuroscience@Goettingen biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Together with cSAXS, the Coherent X-ray Scattering Group at PSI, we are looking for a Postdoctoral Fellow on High-Throughput X-ray Ptychographic Imaging of 🧠: psi.ch/en/hr/job-oppo… + work at 4th gen synchrotron + interdisciplinary team science + Swiss salary and benefits
