Spending the day on the hill highlighting neurotech advancements thx 2 Brain Initiative support over the past decade. Brought along our implantable system for human single neuron recordings & closed-loop stim 🤩! Let’s go!

Time 2 📈funding, not cut it! #FundBrainInitiative

Only a few hours remain to pledge support for our UCI CNLM mission of fundamental discovery in brain science and training of the next generation of neuroscientists #UCIGivingDay .

#UCIGivingDay is HERE! Join us on our journey to unravel the mysteries of the brain. Your support fuels our research, training and outreach mission. 🧠🔬

I respectfully disagree. Knowing that someone you’re interested in meeting in person is going to attend and going to their talk or poster hoping to catch up with them is ok. But having a “strategic networking plan” deprives you of the opportunity of having serendipitous

I'm really excited that our new preprint discussing cerebrovascular pathology, hypoxemia in REM sleep, and MTL structure and memory in older adults is finally out! Special thank you to Batool Rizvi for her work in the CSVD space and Bryce Mander Mike Yassa for their mentorship!

Excited to announce the launch of a new initiative at UCI CNLM in civic neuroscience! As part of this new project, I am currently seeking a Civic Science Fellow to join my team thanks for support from the Dana Foundation🧠.

Pls share with your network!

It’s that time of the year again, and departments are gearing up to recruit top diverse faculty to their academic institutions. Here are 8 key tips to ensure you secure that talent:

New work led by Haoxin Zhang and Jack Lin shows using human intracranial recordings that post-encoding awake ripples enhance mnemonic discrimination for emotional events. Collab with Ivan Skelin, Bob Knight et al. Nature Communications UCI CNLM UC Irvine nature.com/articles/s4146…

Latest work from our lab led by ⁦Sandra Gattas⁩ in ⁦Nature Communications⁩ used human intracranial recordings to show hippocampal-cortical theta dynamics involved in pattern separation ⁦YassaLab⁩ ⁦UCI CNLM⁩ ⁦UC Irvine⁩ nature.com/articles/s4146…

I am so proud of @solead_gcogno and coworkers for this exciting and surprising finding appearing now in nature – another fundamental brain algorithm discovered at Kavli Neuroscience and the Centre for Algorithms of Cortex

So very proud to celebrate Dr. Miranda Chappel-Farley (⁦Miranda G. Chappel-Farley, PhD⁩) who successfully defended her PhD today. Pictured here with co-mentor ⁦Bryce Mander⁩ ⁦UCI CNLM⁩ ⁦YassaLab⁩ CONGRATS!!!

An NIH advisory group announced today that they're recommending the agency boost its minimum #postdoc salary to $70,000, up from the current $56,484. Many postdocs feel 'underpaid and overworked,' a co-chair said.
