5 years ago during a midnight confocal session I got intrigued about unknown to me at the time brain area. Today we are excited to share our review and our obsession about the lateral thalamus: authors.elsevier.com/a/1kFqJbotq3zhX

@choekatr @Froemkelab Congrats!!

Thrilled to share that our paper is published! We reveal calcium dynamics of PVN oxytocin neurons and astrocytes in mice during social investigation 🐭🤝 and looming shadow threat 🦅⚫️, simultaneously imaged using two-colour fiber photometry. 🧠 🟢 🔴 bit.ly/42XPJv2

New paper and new preprint from the lab! Jess Minder's paper on gestational timing delays and embryonic diapause is now out in @ScienceAdvances: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Luisa Schuster's work on 24/7 behavior monitoring of family life & 'mouse midwives': biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Registration started for the Janelia meeting on spinal cord and brainstem circuits for sensorimotor adaptation across species. Spinal cord is more than a hub, it does supercomputing! janelia.org/you-janelia/co…

Excited to share our latest review on genetically encoded dopamine sensors! 🔬 Dive into the principles, applications, and future directions of these innovative tools in neuroscience. Read more: authors.elsevier.com/a/1keV38MqMiuK…

On Wednesday, February 26, 2025 at 1:00 pm/13:00, Prof. Rüdiger Klein will give a talk in the #CRC1451 Motor Control Science Club on “Brain circuits for appetite control”. 🧠 @UKKoeln @Department of @Neurology, Building 30, Lecture hall. @GattoGraziana

My PhD work is out! How do mothers balance tending to their own needs, such as eating, and taking care of their offspring? We examined the link between feeding and parenting neural circuits and how they are modulated postpartum in mice 🧵 (1/9) PREPRINT: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Today Dr. Graziana Gatto @GattoGraziana from the University Hospital of Cologne @UKKoeln offered us a fantastic #SeminarsIN about spinal circuits for action flexibility. Great talk, thank you! 👏👏

🚨Publication alert🚨 @Nature We're excited to introduce HYPOMAP, a comprehensive cell atlas of the human hypothalamus! nature.com/articles/s4158… @IMS_MRL @gilesyeo @JohnTadross

We have the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Graziana Gatto @GattoGraziana from the University Hospital of Cologne @UKKoeln tomorrow at #SeminarsIN 🙌 She is an expert in the neurobiology of motor control Don’t miss it!

Bringing some positivity to your week...We are starting again with online #AstrocyteCafe, join us this Thursday February 6th, at 10m EST/ 4 pm CET. Two amazing scientists will open the third edition: @AGungorAydin and @HaselPhilip 😍 We can't wait!

🧠New PhD program on Integrative Neuroscience in Coimbra! 🌞 Check it out and learn more in our #RecruitmentDay @brain_dyna @cnc_uc @UCoimbra_Rsrch youtube.com/watch?v=iR2QUY…

Registration for this year's @EBBS_Science conference is open now! Bordeaux, France | 28 June - 1 July 2025 😊 We have a symposium right after the plenary lecture of Dr. @GoshenInbal, to continue on the topic of astrocytes and higher brain functions, formed by an amazing panel!

Our latest profile is here! Dr. Natalia Kononenko (@KononenkoLab) studies the cellular & molecular mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases. Click the link to learn more and listen to the full interview 💜 storiesofwin.org/profiles/2025/… #StoriesOfWiN #WomenInNeuroscience #WomenInNeuro

For students: Jan 23rd, starting 8:15 - NEUROSCIENCE RESEARCH GROUPS that teach in BSc Biology and MSc Neuroscience present their research topics and approaches: Biocenter, Lecture Hall @GattoGraziana @bueschges_lab @CurioNeuro @LabMasseck @IbehaveNetwork @UniCologne @crc1451

🚨Postdoc and Postbac positions available in my group at the @NIEHS /@NIH ! Interested in investigating the neural mechanisms for social behaviors across development in a supportive environment? Make sure to apply! Job ads in🧵Feel free to DM/email w/ questions, please RT

Excited to share our latest work-#Autophagy protects Purkinje cells by keeping their glycolysis low! A novel link between brain metabolism and #neurodegeneration. Gratefull to all collaborators for making this possible! #GattoGraziana #FrezzaLab #CRC1451 nature.com/articles/s4225…

We are now accepting applications for 2025 Connexins! This is an in person symposium for senior graduate students to share their works with the NYU neuroscience community. Please RT!!! wp.nyu.edu/connexins/

Last week to apply for a PhD position in my lab to dissect the cortico-spinal circuits for hindlimb control in healthy and Huntington mice. Email me CV, cover letter at the latest by Jan 22.

Our new preprint on how excitatory V2a and inhibitory V1 and V2b neurons cooperate to drive scratching rhythm, with a new neuromechanical model showing how CPG perturbations affect rhythm and phase of motoneuron firing and frequency of joint oscillations biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
