A new MRI protocol described in @ScienceAdvances can scan the human #brain and its venous network in under 7 minutes, marking it as a potential tool for diagnosing cerebrovascular diseases and monitoring neurodegeneration. scim.ag/4pODNnH

A moment in time: Dieter Oesterhelt passed away in Münich on this day (November 28) in 2022. He identified the 1st microbial rhodopsin more than 50 years ago, with far-reaching impact that could hardly have been imagined. laskerfoundation.org/in-memoriam-di… The picture was sent to me by Peter Hegemann, who was one of Dieter’s trainees many years ago. It shows the Winged Victory (Nike) of Samothrace, located in the Aula of the Technical University in Berlin, and donated from the French Embassy to represent the unity of international science. And speaking of the unity of international science…. I’ll be kicking off Peter’s birthday symposium on Dec 13 in Berlin (Peter is turning 70). It will be a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the exploratory journey we shared with our teams over the past two decades– discovering how the beautiful light-gated channels from microbes work, finding new channels, and creating new ones too. Remembering my last conversation with Dieter, also in rainy Berlin, on a rattly shuttle bus…

Neurons are mysterious and beautiful. #neuroscience #science #biology #art

Here's a 16-hour timelapse of an embryo building a central nervous system so 23 years from now it can sell b2b SAAS

Shout out to an amazing group @amydief . I’m lucky to have been a part of this study!

🗣️Language is widely distributed throughout the brain🧠 In a recent correspondence in @NatRevNeurosci, we suggest that there is no 'language network' in the brain. What appears as such is an inevitable illusion created in part by the methods we use. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Nice writeup about our work in the @reviewjournal. Thanks @LilaDavachi and @HasselmoMichael for the quotes. A preemptive apology to all the embodied folks out there. ‘You are your brain’: UNLV study analyzes how we experience time lvrj.com/post/3121246 via @reviewjournal

@JamesMHyman @reviewjournal @LilaDavachi @HasselmoMichael This is awesome!

After helpful peer review, our work looking at flexible strategy use, vicarious trial and error, and medial prefrontal cortex rhythms is out! learnmem.cshlp.org/content/31/7/a… The big picture message is: contextualize behavior before interpreting it. Read on for how/why we did it (1/9)

Most knowledge of sequence p/replay comes from single experiences. Now we reveal principles of generative coding enabling HPC to parallelize & bind time-compressed representations of 15 discontinuous experiences in single events in sleep @NatureNeuro: rdcu.be/dOjCv 1/6

You can see where you are looking! This image by @AkiyoshiKitaoka lets you see your own eye movements, which create a little light-gray 'spotlight' wherever you point your eyes. The spotlight isn't really there; your mind is making it!

🚨New preprint! We show how neuronal population activity in the head-direction system maintains its organization for… ever? Using @MiniscopeTeam, we recorded ensembles of neurons in mice for up to four months, across multiple environments. 1/9

Staff Scientist position available in our Division to manage operations in @LieberInstitute Imaging Core Facility. Responsibilities include providing training on and managing equipment as well as providing consultations on experimental design and image analysis.

@martinowk @HopkinsNeuro @SuhaasSAdiraju That is a beautiful image! Great job @SuhaasSAdiraju

#FluorescenceFriday image from @HopkinsNeuro PhD student @SuhaasSAdiraju rotation investigating amphetamine-recruited ensembles. Suhaas will stay with us for his thesis studying how neural states underlying motivation and engagement impact attention at cellular & network levels!

We are getting ready to launch *NWB GUIDE*, a user interface for converting neurophysiology data from 40+ formats to NWB, without coding! If you would like to learn how to use GUIDE and provide feedback to help improve the app, please let us know: forms.gle/rGtJbuHsj2FR5T…
