Autumn along the South Branch of the Chicago River. Monday memory from 2012.

Our latest preprint is live. Check out our study on how calcium-activated chloride channels sparsen peripheral inputs to the olfactory system. A group effort from the entire lab. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Autumn's Awesomeness. Chicago's Lincoln Park filled with color on this day in 2022 for Turnback Tuesday.

So proud of our amazing undergrad researcher Arij Ahmed on continuously receiving the CURA award! 🎉🔬 Her hard work and passion are shining bright! Thanks UIC Undergraduate Research for spotlighting her achievement.

Chicago in the fall.

This is going to be such an exciting year, we are bringing some amazing faculty from all over the world. 6 weeks of hands on neuroscience. Improve your technical expertise, expand your scientific network, hear cutting edge science, and make friends for life!

Spending more time at the other place. Find me at [email protected]

Gave a talk today ⁦UIC Neuroscience⁩ with ⁦Joseph D. Zak⁩ as host. Loved the warmth and energy of the faculty & students and the beauty of Chicago and ⁦University of Illinois Chicago⁩. Thanks for being hosts with the most. ❤️🙏🏽🥰🤩💯

Apply today!!!! Deadline in January 27th! mbl.edu/education/adva…

Excited to see this come out! Miles, an undergraduate in the lab, led this project and plans to keep it maintained and up to date as he transitions to being a graduate student. doi.org/10.1093/bioinf…

Looking forward to my first summer as an instructor in the Neurobiology Course Course. The application deadline is fast approaching (1/27), so make sure to submit yours and join us!

1/ Check out our Julia E. Manoim 🇺🇦🇮🇱, Tal Camchy, Eyal Rozenfeld, Hadas Lerner, Hao-Hsin Chang, Ran Darshan, and Ya-Hui Chou new study in Current Biology. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

This Week in The Journal #JNeurosci | A Chloride Channel for Detecting and Perceiving Odor; Exploring How Humans Multitask jneurosci.org/content/45/18/…

Back with more work from the Zak Lab demonstrating that chronic stress causes changes to sensory perception and neuroinflammation in mice. Check out our new preprint biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. Joseph D. Zak University of Illinois Chicago

Curious about how mice follow odor trails? Excited to share our latest (long-time brewing)! We watched mice on an "endless" treadmill. Combining experiments with Bayesian modeling we show that mice use predictive (not reactive) strategies!
