Now that I have 100K followers, I want to talk about #OvarianCancer. Specifically my gritty story. The goal is awareness. I hope you find this narrative informative.

Our open-source #miniscope analysis pipeline is now in eLife - the journal! Check out Minian, a powerful 1P calcium imaging tool with ⏬ memory demand & intuitive visuals 👀 Led by Phil Dong in collab w/ Tristan Shuman, Kanaka Rajan & @DanielBAharoni. Read it: elifesciences.org/articles/70661

So happy to have been part of this collaboration with the Dean Buono lab. By combining human psychophysics and RNN computational models we show that the brain may generate spiking sequences to multiplex working memory and timing information.

I have been meeting with a lot of academics to chat about potential research careers outside the academy. They are often really surprised how research works in an industry setting 📈 So, here's a brief thread on what the process looks like from the other side: 🧵

an amazing mentor and indeed friend for five years. I wouldn't be where I am today, professionally and personally, without you Gina Poe!

Are you in Latin America and interested in learning more about #Miniscopes? We are partnering with ISN School to hold a 3 day hands-on Miniscope Team workshop in Buenos Aires. Apply by August 20th and @DanielBAharoni, Tristan Shuman, Denise J. Cai, Ph.D., & Federico will see you there!

🚨I wrote about “brain fog”—one of the most common & disabling symptoms of long COVID (and many other pre-pandemic conditions), and one of the most misunderstood. Here’s what brain fog actually is, and what it’s like to live with it. 1/ theatlantic.com/health/archive…

Our new paper is out! “Paradoxical self-sustained dynamics emerge from orchestrated excitatory and inhibitory homeostatic plasticity rules” pnas.org/doi/abs/10.107… Amazing work with Dean Buono Rodrigo Laje @mikejseay THREAD! #paradoxicaleffect 1/10

I just submitted my application for the UCLA Bioengineering PhD program. I’m very grateful for all my collaborators throughout the past few years. Alea iacta est

Thrilled to be in Buenos Aires with Miniscope Team (Tristan Shuman @DanielBAharoni Federico) to teach our Miniscope workshop and celebrate Argentina's win. I can't begin to convey the joy that has exploded thru the streets. #Messi𓃵 #WorldCup

El físico @DanielBAharoni dirige en UCLA el Miniscope Team, que desarrolla los microscopios en miniatura de código abierto más usados. Los "miniscopios" registran y analizan actividad neuronal en roedores y revolucionan los estudios de neurociencia. bit.ly/3hKzDjA

1/3 Want to give your mice a gift? Open Ephys Commutators are now available: open-ephys.org/commutators/co…! They use the orientation information provided by Miniscopes and ONIX headstages to provide near zero-torque tether commutation during free exploration.

Thanks to Senator Dick Durbin for working to preserve NIH funding. Those funds are urgently needed.

Are you a fidgeter? Me too!! We told you a while back that those fidgets impact neural activity in a big way. But we didn't know what their impact was on the decisions of trained experts. Find out in our new preprint. #fidget #neuroscience biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I’m starting treatment for #breastcancer today. I’m feeling strong and am sharing this news in the hope that others will get their #cancer screenings done. A routine scan likely saved my life! Pls RT UCLA Health David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA

Happy to announce that I will start my assistant professor position at UCLA this fall! My lab will work on internal sensations, with a unique focus on nausea mechanisms: chuchuzhanglab.com. Please RT and encourage people interested in postdoc positions to apply!

I’ll never forget the sense of fear I had when I went to get a flu shot at CVS and they told me my health insurance had been terminated. Turns out the same UCLA Dept forgot to pay my graduate tuition fees. Very glad I didn’t find out an expensive ER visit or worse.

We are excited to share our latest design for chronic, recoverable, multiprobe implants tomorrow morning at #SfN2023! With @melinmaxwell and Anne Churchland we devised an approach to get 24 shanks in a single hemisphere of the 🐭 brain.

It was amazing to work on this and learn from our very own wireless expert! A pleasure to work with you Takuya SASATANI Dr. Marcel Brosch Federico
