New paper from our lab, by Jarrod Hicks. Shows that people use the statistical properties of background noise to hear concurrent “foreground” sounds. Read on for highlights (1). pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… MIT Science MIT Brain and Cognitive Sciences McGovern Institute CBMM

Thank you to all our incredible attendees for your engagement and openness throughout the week. We hope you enjoyed the opportunity to connect with fresh ideas and build new professional relationships! #rcpneuromod

Happy to see my Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions project with Juan Burrone Lab lab available on bioRxiv Neuroscience We Increased network activity in vivo and used dSTORM to look at the nanoscale organization of inhibitory synapses formed onto the AIS and onto tufts dendrites of L2/3 S1 Cortex!

Are you interested in the development of the human brain? One postdoctoral position is opened with #WT funds in @RicoLab to investigate the development of inhibitory circuits in the human cerebral cortex. Experience: Molecular Biology (scRNA seq, RNAseq). Please RT!

Our paper is out in time for #EM_Monday! It is about a specialized neuron-specific ER, the spine apparatus, that is close to synapses and has a peculiar shape. If you think neurons are special, the spine apparatus is their🦄horn! But how does it form?!(1/9)doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.…

Congratulations to Dr. Huda Zoghbi on being invested as a member of the American Academy of Sciences and Letters. The Academy promotes learning and honors outstanding scholarly excellence and intellectual courage in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences.

Don’t wait too long to apply! Limited spots.

Ever joined a new lab and felt that not knowing where/what stuff is was holding your research back? Yeah, same. Kudos to Kage & Taylor from our lab for a beautiful piece in Trends in Biochemical Sciences highlighting how lab inventory systems support independence. doi.org/10.1016/j.tibs…

Brain cancer leverages the same tools as the developing brain 🧠! In our new study, published today in nature, we mapped neocortical development to explore brain cancer and neuropsychiatric risks. #stemcells #brainresearch nature.com/articles/s4158…

More than 40 percent of #postdocs leave academia. Those who landed a coveted faculty position were more likely to have had a highly cited paper, changed their research topic between their #PhD and postdoc, or moved abroad after receiving their doctorate. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

UCSF’s @KriegsteinLab Li Wang took a closer look at gene expression in the growing human brain and found sets of genes that could help explain autism and even adult brain cancer – revealing new possibilities for future therapies. tiny.ucsf.edu/8EHYHf

New from the lab Sarah Donofrio 🍉: Aging leads to patterned Purkinje cell loss in the cerebellum, seen in both mice and humans. More insights into how aging shapes neuronal vulnerability here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The cerebellum, often underestimated in its role, is crucial for driving neuroplasticity. Groundbreaking Nature Medicine study showed that deep brain stimulation targeting the cerebellum dramatically improved motor functions in stroke patients, even three years post-stroke.
