ME alums Andrew Alegria (PhD '24), Amey Joshi (PhD '23) and Daniel Surinach (MS '21) won a $25,000 prize for their company, which they co-founded along with faculty member Suhasa Kodandaramaiah. The award was part of the 2024 @MinnesotaCup Special Prizes. https://t.co/3xJ8aSX3Pn
New paper @naturemethods ! Miniaturized headmounted neural devices are great to study the brain in naturalistic behaviors, but are limited in their performance. We engineered ‘exoskeleton’ assists for mice to carry large recording devices with them: https://t.co/VnirkIwU3W
🚨🚨Pre-print alert 🚨🚨 Led by @IbrahimOladepo: a computer-vision guided robotic commutator that can track mice & correct for animal heading direction changes. Simple to implement. Can be added to any existing commutator https://t.co/1ZKGcHiVtG
New paper in our lab led by Andrew Alegria and @Amey__Joshi published in @GeneticsGSA . Fun collab with @DarylGohl and Bischof group @umnme@UMNCSE We also made it to the cover! https://t.co/lpyiQNmj4a
🚨 New pre-print alert!🚨 Led by the brilliant, twitter-less post-doc James Hope. We built a 🤖 exoskeleton for 🐭🐁 so we can study their 🧠's as they go around navigating their world. An e.g., imaging 1000s of neurons in the cortex when mice walk an 8-maze. A 🧵
Really excited to share this new preprint on automated microinjection of Drosophila and zebrafish embryos! See this thread by our collaborator @bksuhasa
🚨🚨 New pre-print alert! A fun collaboration involving 🤖s, fruit🪰s,🐠, and 🧬 with @DarylGohl. Co-led by twitterless Andrew Alegria and @Amey__Joshi . A generalized machine vision guided robot for microinjections into whole intact embryos. https://t.co/Xgef3BcImn (1/n)
🚨🚨 New pre-print alert! 🚨🚨led by the Surinach-Rynes dream team @DanielSurinach@mathewrynes, fun collab with @adredish in @UMNeurosci: Strategy dependent mesoscale Ca2+ dynamics during spatial navigation https://t.co/4M9QGZetEB 1/n
🚨🚨 Poster #2 this AM (XX 10): @mathewrynes@DanielSurinach presenting on mesoscale brain states discovered using widefield calcium imaging in freely behaving mice during spatial learning and navigation.
