What brain circuits keep an animal ‘on task’ so that it can accomplish a goal? Our paper bit.ly/2HuD9Z8 shows that the nucleus isthmi is required for zebrafish to sustain prey pursuit and capture their next meal. Congratulations to @NotHenriquez!

Our preprint 'Sleep pressure modulates single-neuron synapse dynamics in zebrafish' just dropped on @biorxivpreprint - A concerted effort from @realRihellab @ZWithTheFishes @_LizBroom 🐟💤 🧵👇🏻


La Région a sélectionné les 26 premiers lauréats du projet « Paris region fellowship Programme » lors de l'appel 2020-2021. Découvrez leurs profils ! Français : data.iledefrance.fr/pages/prfp/?he… English: data.iledefrance.fr/pages/prfp-en/… #RegionIDF #prfp #researchfunding

At 13:50 BST (UTC+1), we will hear the views of three brilliant PhD students - @CharlieDowell4, @maxowaxo2013 and @pguptasays - on some of the hard questions in neuroscience. Prizes will be at stake!





The zebrafishucl.org/bianco-lab is looking for postdocs! Enthusiasm essential. Skills in electrophysiology and custom optics design would also be great. Wellcome-funded. Probably starting early next year (but that's v flexible). Contact me if you're interested and please RT.






Science has chosen single-cell analyses of gene activity through time as its #BOTY18, honoring methods that together are enabling researchers to determine, at the individual cell level, which genes are turned on and off as an early embryo develops. @sciencemagazine)&utm_term=SciMag&utm_content=AAAS" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">vis.sciencemag.org/breakthrough20…




JUST BECAUSE WE CAN, DOESN’T MEAN WE SHOULD #CRISPR technology has huge potential, but the #crisprbabies claim from China stands to damage science, trust, and human life. Whether or not this claim is true, international legislation is needed, URGENTLY.
