Paper alert! We combine modeling and experiments to study “balanced” EI assemblies of co-tuned excitatory and inhibitory neurons in a memory network. TL; DR: EI assemblies suppress “runaway activity” & “runaway correlations” - which interfere w/ memory capacity & discriminability

The mouse cochlea is another excellent and beautiful sample imaged with our new rapid isotropic light sheet microscope. Big thanks to Lennart Roos for preparing the sample precisely. The video shows the spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs). @AuditoryNeuros

I'm excited to share our latest work at Huisken Lab, where we have developed a high-speed, aberration-corrected light sheet microscope that delivers sub-micron isotropic resolution for imaging a wide range of cleared tissues, such as a mouse brain.

Should I stay or should I go?! New study by @BaierLab shows that in cichlid fish mother and larvae follow their own intrinsic schedules during brood care. This leads to the larvae leaving their home shell exactly 9 days after fertilization.

Congratulations to Fabian Sinz (@sinzlab)! The computer scientist and neuroscientist at our university has been awarded an #ERC Consolidator Grant. His project “Vision2Action” will use #AI to show how movement influences visual processing in the brain: https://t.co/MrQE5LFlf7

[Tim Gollisch @TimGollisch]

We have a new PhD position available. Please spread the word and retweet. The project will combine retina recordings, computational modeling, and optogenetics to help further develop vision restoration therapy. See here for more information: https://t.co/FnP2JTsHay

If you need an inline perfusion heater, for example for your patch clamp rig, here is one for <30$.
