How does the brain balance learning new things without overwriting what it already knows? Our new paper tackles this long-standing stability–plasticity dilemma during active navigation. With @Adrinnenberg from the @KarlDeisseroth lab. (1/8)

What if we could watch AND control thousands of individual neurons in behaving mice—with stable access over months? 🧠⚡ Our new preprint introduces transgenic all-optical tools that make this possible - and a resulting surprising discovery! 🔭💡

What is the nature of sensory prediction error signals in neocortex and the circuit-mechanisms underlying them? Genuinely thrilled to see this epic effort from Shohei Furutachi in my and @TFlogel's lab out on @biorxivpreprint: https://t.co/xIc8es8hIT
I'm super excited to share my postdoc work with @lisa_giocomo, "Parahippocampal neurons encode task-relevant information for goal-directed navigation". ¼
Looking for neural data to analyze? You can find our electrophysiology and imaging data sets (+code/methods) on our lab website! Thousands of neurons, mostly from medial entorhinal cortex and hippocampus, recorded/imaged in behaving mice #openscience

We are looking for a Postdoc and a PhD student!
Get in touch if you are interested in starting a project at the interface between spatial navigation and the visual system:

For PhD candidates, the application deadline is the beginning of January 2023.
We are paying $3400 for infant daycare at Harvard. In 2017 as a first year postdoc, this is higher than my post tax salary. It does not make sense financially to work as a postdoc and to raise a kid. You wonder why some women quit science at this point??
#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

The Wolff Lab is hiring! Ever wondered if rats can learn to play beach volleyball (or other cool skills)? Looking for a postdoc position and want to find out? Check out our research on motor skill learning and hit me up at #sfn2022 or send me an email!
