Check out Mo Zhu's new paper in Learning&Memory, where she identifies transient changes in neocortical pyramidal neuron responses at the onset of learning. Nice cover, Mo! https://t.co/OurbJ7B0of

Ajit Ray is giving a talk at #Barrels about his most recent neuroanatomical study: Input- and target-specific thalamocortical plasticity in layer 1 during sensory learning. Catch his poster at #SfN2023 on Wednesday morning! Thanks to the #BrainInitiative and #NIH for support

[Alison Barth @AlisonBarth]

Please stop by and learn about some exciting new work from the talented and fun group of neuroscientists from the Barth Lab at Carnegie Mellon! #SfN2022 is going to be a blast

The 2022 Synaptic Transmission GRC is on track to be the most exciting meeting for synaptic neuroscientists in the past four years! Register now and we will see you soon: https://t.co/W0LAoTegoR

@tdverstynen Thanks for speaking out. It's important to communicate about these things, and there is no open forum for this at the university.

@jonathan_ploski @MargolisLab @PNASNews Great question. We only looked in one substrain of the fosGFP mice, so there could be positional effects. However, it's useful to note that there are a number of other studies that have used this same transgenic line and they do see activated ensembles in other cortical regions

FosGFP expression does not capture a sensory learning-related engram in superficial layers of mouse barrel cortex https://t.co/DVcIy5tSIM

High-throughput detection of inhibitory synapses will require more than gephyrin - check out our new paper from Dika Kuljis and colleagues! https://t.co/MyiS7cn4N7

Check out the new paper from the Barth Lab's talented undergrad Sarah Bernhard about automated sensory association training for whisker-dependent learning - now in PLoSOne https://t.co/R1bvrzYZIO

Selective and transient PV disinhibition in superficial layers of neocortex during learning - great new preprint from Dika Kuljis and Eunsol Park in the Barth Lab @CmuScience @cmuneurosci https://t.co/LA5hk2URV3

Thank you @SenBobCasey for supporting basic science to translational research in neurobiology! Great meeting with legislative correspondents to talk about new advances @CarnegieMellon and across Pennsylvania. Together we can make a difference #SfNHillDay #NeuroAdvocate

[Alison Barth @AlisonBarth]

Great to share exciting new @CarnegieMellon discoveries about brain function and treatment for Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s with @SenToomey #SfNHillDay #NeuroAdvocate

[Alison Barth @AlisonBarth]

Great conversation about @CarnegieMellon and Pittsburgh’s advances in brain science with @USRepMikeDoyle #SfNHillDay. Thank you for your support!

[Alison Barth @AlisonBarth]

Great meeting with staff @RepSusanWild to share advances in brain science and new treatments #SfNHillDay

[Alison Barth @AlisonBarth]

Congressman Blumenauer supporting brain research to kick off #SfNHillDay

[CMU Mellon College of Science @CmuScience]

Congrats to @CMU_Bio's Alison Barth who received a grant from the @NIH to study synapses in the early stages of #AlzheimersDisease The findings could provide a clue to what happens in the brain during Alzheimer’s before symptoms begin to appear. https://t.co/gC3fFb7pWU

The learning brain is less flexible than we thought https://t.co/wyLpJK6yHS #BrainHub via @CMUEngineering @CarnegieMellon

[Alison Barth @AlisonBarth]

Warm reception for neuroscience as an engine of discovery and invention for @CarnegieMellon from @USRepMikeDoyle. Support the NIH and NSF! #SfNHillDay
