@StJudeResearch @HillmanLab Congratulations!! Such an exciting announcement - can't wait to hear more 🔬

St. Jude welcomes @HillmanLab as the founding chair of the new Department of Imaging Sciences. Her team will develop innovative tools to accelerate discovery and improve patient care. ow.ly/GZQG50UL653

🔥🔥How does skin sense temperature?❄️❄️ Check out our latest work (@bokiniec & JFAP) to find out! TL;DR - both warm and cool are encoded in the same cells by a single channel! How? --> Bidirectionally responsive thermoreceptors encode cool and warm biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Was that a mosquito? 🦟🦟🦟 Well, you better consider the probability of mozzies in your current environment! Go check out my PhD project finally summarized in a preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #somatosensoryperception #expectations #previouschoice #oscillations #MNEPython

What does working at the interface of engineering and neuroscience look like? Take a listen here and come chat with us anytime 🧠🖥️ @UQ_EAIT @QldBrainInst

Such a great course! Get your applications in by the end of the month 🔬🔬🔬

Phd student, postdocs, and early-career researchers, please consider this opportunity and join us this summer.

@ewadorotaz @QldBrainInst @UQ_EAIT @TheFlorey @farznaj @GeorgiaTech 💅💅💅

I had a fantastic week at the #ThalamocorticalGRC conference, focusing on the thalamus. Sincere thanks to all participants. It was super nice to reconnect with @WhitmireCJ, now at @QldBrainInst @UQ_EAIT, Christina Mo, now at @TheFlorey, @farznaj now, @GeorgiaTech. BTW, these women are HIRING! Special thanks to @JeanneTPaz, @AdamHantman @GordonConf for organizing this incredible conference. The bar is set high, but I trust in success of the future meeting chaired by Solange Brown @brownlaboratory and Farran Briggs @UofR. Thanks to @CoherentLaser @CoherentCorp for supporting the conference and sending me there! 🙌

The spatial representation of temperature in the thalamus biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Check out our latest work mapping the thalamic representation of temperature! TLDR: Two distinct thalamic pathways for temperature - each required for thermal perception!!

Let’s make reproducible research the norm! elifesciences.org/articles/89736

Excited to share our new review article proposing two parallel somatosensory thalamocortical pathways! Check it out here: frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Excited to share this paper using new neurotech and explainable AI to advance DBS for treatment resistant #depression (TRD). Team effort including @HelenMaybergMD, @sankar_alagapan and Patricio Riva-Posse. Summary thread! go.nature.com/48lmlzC @nature PC: Mike Halerz

Today we celebrate QBI's 20th Anniversary Scientific Symposium 🎉 Recognising our researchers extraordinary contributions to #neuroscience over the past 20 years. We also got the opportunity to welcome our newest group leader @WhitmireCJ to the #QBI family 💜

Step the Brain Along a Path is a new work of modern dance about neurotechnology and neuroethics that we premiered at @gatecharts. Check out the highlight video. Why is art important in understanding the intersection of neurotech and society? A thread! bit.ly/43Zc2Pn

You were interested in capturing retinal axons in mouse superior colliculus in vivo (doi.org/10.1038/s41467…)? You will be excited by thalamocortical axons in mouse cortex! Check out our latest story on mapping thalamocortical connectivity in vivo using #Neuropixels

Had a fabulous time teaching at the Imaging Structure & Function in the Nervous System course at @CSHL! Love when we get to do #Minian and @MiniscopeTeam demos ⚡️ & Of course, thank you to my amazing co-instructor #PhilDong.
