I still suspect that this is one of those alien technologies, like Velcro.

What a masterpiece! Those three Asian moms are savages.

My lab at HHMI | Janelia is recruiting postdocs! We'll work on how neocortex builds and uses models of the world to give animals cognitive abilities. We'll specifically attempt to go beyond repeated (memorized?) stimulus-response associations to study flexible cognition in mice.1/3

Join us on Wed. at 12-1 pm Central, Jon Newman Jonathan Newman will talk about the upcoming next gen. Open Ephys system for unencumbered mouse behavior, and we can have an informal chat on all topics related to electrophysiology. mit.zoom.us/j/3218471095

This paper is simply inspiring. Congrats to the authors!

Delighted to share our newest paper, out in eLife - the journal! We uncover a degree of functional specialization within the cholinergic basal forebrain. This adds granularity to our understanding of what has long been considered as a single monolithic structure. elifesciences.org/articles/69514

Sheets lab is hiring!!😃 Our talented research technician Melanie is moving on to graduate school, so we have an opening for a Research Tech II 🐟👂🧬🔬 Please share and RT! Test Account wustl.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/External/job/W…

Hey it's our latest preprint! Thanks to Michèle Insanally @badralbanna @briandepasquale @matinsabaa Kishore Kuchibhotla Kanaka Rajan Trisha and Jack! Contributions and synaptic basis of diverse cortical neuron responses to task performance biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Open Ephys has some big news: we have been awarded a Phase II SBIR to develop exciting new tech using our open-hardware standards. We are looking for an engineer to help us with this! Here are some reasons you might want to apply...

@cmuneurosci will be awarding 1-2 Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowships to exceptional, collaborative candidates. We are interested in bringing in diverse points of view and voices. Apply by June 30, 2023! cmu.edu/ni/ni-fellows.…

Excited to share a new pre-print from Polley Lab led by Matt McGill (not on twitter): biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Matt developed a 2AFC loudness classification behavior to study loudness reporting and discovered a perceptual volume knob in auditory cortex. (1/4)

Hey our new paper is out! Thanks to lead authors Silvana Valtcheva & Habon Issa, and Chloe Jean Katie Martin Kanghoon Jung Yiyao Zhang and Hyungbae Kwon Patching oxytocin neurons in vivo, playing pup calls, using the Kwon lab iTango2 oxytocin sensor! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Latest preprint from our lab is out now. In many ways a culmination of over a decade of work - biorxiv.org/content/10.110… In collaboration with Satyabrata Parida and Ed Bartlett Purdue Biological Sciences Feedback welcome. Pitt Communication Science and Disorders Pitt SHRS #dAMEFRs

Congratulations to Karin Morandell, Rodrigo Triana-Del Rio & Audrey Yin on a lovely new study out in SfN Journals #JNeuroscience! We find widespread movement modulation throughout auditory cortex (A1 + other areas) during locomotion, grooming, and other behaviors. jneurosci.org/content/early/…

Thrilled to have WenXi's thesis work out in the world! Over the past few years, WenXi has made some cool discoveries about how the brain learns to predict the consequence of an action. 1/9 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share that our paper on sound-evoked facial movements in mice is now out in Current Biology: authors.elsevier.com/a/1im623QW8S6D… A couple of summaries for different crowds below:

🚨 New preprint out with co-first authors Matt McGill and Bshara Awwad: “The cortical determinants of loudness perception and auditory hypersensitivity” biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

1/ A century ago, Tolman showed that meaningful learning can occur even without apparent performance improvements. What is the neural basis of this distinction between learning something vs learning to perform? We tackle this in a new manuscript 🔥 🐭🔬📰 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…
