Neuroscience Grad at MIT. I want to know what computations individual neurons perform to go from inputs to outputs in a functional, cell type specific manner.

What's new in our latest OpenScope RFP @alleninstitute? We'll be posting a video detailing this soon, but in the meantime… Here's a 🧵

@MoneyDebussy @PessoaBrain but it’s still hard to overcome my inhibitions and post comments or questions. If anyone has any guidance on how to not be a fly on the wall, when and where it’s appropriate to jump in, and how to overcome inhibitions to do so that would be very helpful!

[Greggory Heller @GreggoryHeller]

@MoneyDebussy @PessoaBrain I’ve struggled with this a lot to, and I’m almost 6 years of neuro out from grad school. Neurotwitter is very understanding, especially if you phrase things as questions and sound presumptuous and I’ve had a number of overwhelmingly positive experiences.

@PessoaBrain @MattMattoni I’ll get to mastodon eventually but I’ll do it on my own time. If you can give me reasons why it’s better besides “that’s where the PIs are” that would hurry me along!

[Greggory Heller @GreggoryHeller]

@PessoaBrain @MattMattoni To be fair this would be hard to differentiate from a new algorithm failing me, except that I know good people have left. to be honest it means I spend a bit less time on twitter which probably isn’t the worst thing.

You were interested in capturing retinal axons in mouse superior colliculus in vivo (https://t.co/aKFyTBBa40)? You will be excited by thalamocortical axons in mouse cortex! Check out our latest story on mapping thalamocortical connectivity in vivo using #Neuropixels

@PessoaBrain @annamarie_yanny Next steps on this with Human, Marmoset and Mouse

@PessoaBrain @annamarie_yanny also did some cool work on cross species cell types while she was at the Allen that I don't think has been published yet

@neurograce “show me only the 4 most important sub panels for each figure” or “I want to see as few figures as possible, group sub-panels at the highest level in the hierarchy” or I want to see as many figures as possible, group at the lowest level possible”

[Greggory Heller @GreggoryHeller]

@neurograce and once we move away from the traditional conception of figures for designed for journals that were printed, we can imagine options where sub-panels are nested and prioritized by the authors and readers can choose their preferred viewing option
