What’s better than a one-channel #Miniscope? 🥁 A TWO-CHANNEL Miniscope! Our new Miniscope2C is a dual-channel, open-source Miniscope that lets you record 2 fluorescent signals simultaneously in freely moving animals. Read the paper here: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… (1/9)

We held another incredible Memory Hub meeting last week, featuring @SuthanaLab and @antferrui, who presented their creative topic "One Rhythm, Two Species? Rethinking the functional role(s) of hippocampal theta" 🧠 🤓 Thanks for coming out, everyone!

What an incredible evening 🎶 Thank you, @onemindorg, for a meaningful night about music and mental health. Music is such a powerful tool for healing!

One Mind@OneMindOrg

On March 23, an extraordinary community of artists, scientists, advocates, & supporters gathered at Jazz at Lincoln Center (@jazzdotorg) in NYC for Apollo & Psyche, an evening celebrating the powerful connection between music & mental health. From an exhilarating opening selection of Beethoven’s “Sonata in C Major” played by Artistic Director @ElaineKwon to a powerful closing with “Livin’ On a Prayer” by GRAMMY-Award winning songwriter @DesmondChild, every note, every performance, every person in the room contributed to something bigger: a collective commitment to improving mental health for all. The evening also served as an opportunity for One Mind to recognize Bristol Myers Squibb (@bmsnews) for their leadership & partnership in advancing mental health. We're extremely grateful to every artist, supporter, & attendee who made the evening so meaningful. Together, we will continue to create meaningful change, making strides towards the world we envision: healthy minds for all. ➡️ Read more about the event: onemind.org/news/one-mind-… #MentalHealthMatters #ApolloAndPsyche #OneMind #EndTheStigma #MentalHealthAwareness #ArtAndScience #StrongerTogether

As a past Next Generation Leader, I can definitively say the program helped shape how I approach my science. Collaboration is key to making an impact, and so is backing innovation with values-driven research. I highly recommend applying for this program 🧠
allen institute@AllenInstitute

Applications for our Next Generation Leaders program are now open! Our NGL program recognizes early career scientists with fresh and innovative perspectives. For 3 years, they will join a supportive network and contribute to our research initiatives. 🔗 alleninstitute.org/about/people/n…

#ACNP2026 was the perfect way to start the year with some of my favorite scientists! I had a great time talking science (sometimes with my toes in the sand!) and strategizing ways to support the younger generation of scientists at the @OneMindOrg luncheon 🔬

The Cai & Shuman Labs threw an EPIC White Elephant party! So much holiday cheer packed into one room. We did not have a partridge in a pear tree, but we did have: 👥 25 members laughing 🥔 6 chip-bags-a-gifting 🪴 5 plants-afloating 🦫...and a capybara in a knit hat!

Wow, such an insightful and substantive open floor discussion at last night's Memory Hub meeting! 🤓 Do we need ANY of the same synapses that were active during learning to be reactivated to recall a memory? Lines have been drawn and sides taken!
