Reward-like DA fluctuations without explicit external rewards as a means to structure spontaneous behavior!!! Love it!

I spent months reading through 1000s of pages of emails, meeting minutes, presentations, maps and scientific studies... And behold, I bring you the behind-the-scenes story of the (lack of) investigation into New Brunswick's mystery neurological illness. 🧵 canadaland.com/podcast/852-me…

We're hiring! Computational Research Scientist position open at Inscopix. Projects include working with industry on translational applications, as well as productizing analysis methods for the wider academic community. boards.greenhouse.io/inscopixinc/jo…

Thanks for having me on the show! Listen if you want to hear about a nerdy career trajectory and our efforts at Inscopix to build better data tools for neuroscience research.

check out our latest work pushing the limits of in vivo photopharmacology. Using a photocaged opioid agonist we observed a strong behavioral response within seconds of a single light flash, thus opening the door to temporally resolved behavioral photopharmacology experiments

How does prefrontal cortex switch from maintaining to updating behavioral strategies & what are the origins + functions of gamma synchrony? Our new paper led by kathleen cho reveals surprising answers to these long-standing questions! A thread… nature.com/articles/s4158…

new pub from the lab describing a strategy for caging amidated peptides (most neuropeptides); applied to CCK, oxytocin, substance P, and GRP pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja… congrats to all authors, incl. XIANG Ma Jenny He & 1st author aryanna layden, now starting her PhD at Berkeley

Currently in the #UGM 2nd Breakout Session! Robby Padia and Qing Liu are showcasing the power of cloud data analysis with #IDEAS. Discovering effective ways to analyze and interpret data. Exciting insights and knowledge sharing happening now! 📊💡

Why (and how) we need to professionalize neuroscience By Jakob Voigts thetransmitter.org/systems-neuros…

Proposing a maturity model for operations in neuroscience research. arxiv.org/abs/2401.00077 We (led by Erik Johnson and Dimitri Yatsenko) hope to help define and inspire how we can better build and automate data analysis workflows for diverse neuroscience research teams.

📢Exciting News! Our next webinar is coming soon. Inscopix CEO Kunal Ghosh & Shay Neufeld will discuss the #IDEAS cloud platform designed for storing and analyzing large sets of Ca2+ imaging & behavior data. Register now and join us for this event!➡️ hubs.ly/Q02ld0V20

Excited for our work on 'making computational tools for neuroscience research more sharable' to be presented at #Cosyne2024!

If you have terabytes of imaging and behavior files and wish there were more tools to help you better manage, analyze, and share your data, come check out this talk tomorrow!

The Tritsch Lab is looking to hire adventurous postdocs to study (1) how neuromodulators like dopamine and acetylcholine interact to promote learning and action, and (2) how the basal ganglia control the vigor of skilled movements in Parkinson's disease. DM me if interested!

Awesome to see the IDEAS platform being used in Canada (home to many of our distributed IDEAS product team members)!

I get that standards and data sharing and infrastructure doesn’t sound all that exciting. I get that funders want to fund the next big discovery or cure or treatment. But if we’re to make the most out of those huge, expensive, time-consuming data sets, they need to be reusable.

1/5 Excited to finally share our new paper (led by Laura Driscoll, now a group leader at the Allen!) in Nature Neuroscience on modular computation in neural networks! We've explored how artificial recurrent networks handle multiple tasks, offering insights into flexible computation.

Super excited to have this preprint from our Circuits Team - led by jorge miranda Suhaas S. Adiraju Jason Rehg and collaboration with Gregory Carr, out online using in vivo imaging to assess patterns of neural activity in prelimbic cortex neurons during sustained attention

🔊New workshop for the University of Michigan #neuroscience community! Join us at this special event on August 27th with Dr. Waylin Yu from Inscopix. He'll share the latest data insights in #miniscope Ca2+ imaging, behavior, & analyses using IDEAS! Secure your spot here! hubs.ly/Q02K-5dw0
