This work reshaped my understanding of population coding in olfaction (hint: untangling of odor manifolds). Grateful to everyone who made it possible. Hope you enjoy reading it! 🧠👃

The results of this work have changed my view of olfactory cortex function, and of autoassociative memory in general. Great work by @AloeJrny, @nztemiz1, et al in a wonderful collaboration with Chi-Ning Chou and @s_y_chung. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

"Neural Manifolds" have become increasingly widespread in neuroscience (&AI), but we are far from having a unified framework. Here are some resources I've found particularly insightful about what neural manifolds are and the role they play in computation in neural systems: 🧵1/14

🚨🧠PhD position available🚨🧠 I am looking for PhD students interested in the functional, molecular and structural profile of neuronal circuits underlying behavior. @psich_en For more info, DM me or visit structuralneurobiology.ch and psi.ch/en/pa/job-oppo… Please retweet!

@FMIscience @icouzin @RainerFriedri12 Thanks for the great talk, Prof. Couzin. A question occurred to me. I hope it okay to ask on Twitter: how does a single fish re-integrate into the original school of fish, after being stopped e.g. by a trap for a while? Do they re-enter at the same network location as before?

Iain Couzin, hosted by @RainerFriedri12, was the guest speaker in our Friedrich Miescher Lecture series today. Iain presented his incredible research seeking geometric principles of spatiotemporal computation in nature. Thank you @icouzin! @UniKonstanz @CBehav @MPI_animalbehav

We have a position in our group (fmi.ch/friedrich.r/) for a support scientist in optical engineering, programming, machine learning, instrument design. Attractive conditions in an exciting environment with long-term perspective. fmi.ch/education-care…. Please RT!

#postdocjobs for (wireless) deep-brain optogenetic manipulation of neurons using X-rays + build your own custom setup for 2ph-imaging in behaving mice with @brunopichler + get access to the latest X-ray imaging technology @psich_en + >$85k/year + fringe benefits Please retweet!

Peter has given me great guide and support when I started my PhD in the same lab with him. I will not doubt that his creativity and patience will make him a cool PhD supervisor.

Are you a fan of zebrafish but miss viral tools to trace and manipulate neurons? Then check out this paper about viral gene transfer and transneuronal rabies tracing. Great work by Chie Satou with contributions from many others. Thanks to all! doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

A former postoc in @RainerFriedri12 lab, @KuoHuaHuang1 receives the Ruth Chiquet Prize for Ingenuity. Kuo created a virtual reality tool to manipulate environment and behaviors in zebrafish, which could help study key mechanisms of brain function. Congrats! #FMIAnnualMeeting2021

Using viral approaches for zebrafish has always been difficult (AAVs don't work). Turns out that some viruses (HSV1 and rabies) can be used in zebrafish - if the fish are held at ~36°C. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@ptrrupprecht So looking forward!! I think everybody will be happy to meet you!! and regarding the Wacom, it is easy to use and quite cheap. It takes a little while to get used to the visual feedback that comes from the screen, but not from the pen itsself, but that's not a problem :)

@AloeJrny Cool! When I come by this year (hopefully!) I would be curious to see it in action.

I'm exploring workflows to manually generate ground truth segmentation from @mesospim 3D light sheet data (eg, blood vessels). Currently using ITK-SNAP. Does anybody have experience with good tablets or pens to make this more user-friendly? Any advice would be appreciated!

The Friedrich group at FMI is seeking a scientist to support electron microscopy projects in neuroscience with the goal to reconstruct ensembles of connected neurons. Full details here👉 bit.ly/3q5YBZa

@jwphillips91 @jpillowtime It means you could reconstruct the activity of all neurons from a subset. It's a direct consequence of this preprint, which we will soon update with more math: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
