At @FENSorg this year?

Poster #PS01-26AM-004 (WED)

Presenting my work on remapping of neural populations across the HPC-EC circuit using data from 3 simultaneously-recorded Neuropixels 2.0 probes (CA1-MEC/PaS-Sub) in freely moving rats exploring 5 different rooms over 12 hours!

[Weizmann Institute @WeizmannScience]

Weizmann scientists, led by Prof. Nachum Ulanovsky, travelled to a desert island off the coast of East Africa to record - for the very first time - the brain activity of bats in the wild and to study how their neuronal “compass” helps them navigate >> https://t.co/K7CuFiIDau

@DrewBHeadley We did the same, your rig looks great!

[Jo Carpenter @JCarpenter___]

Got to sit down with Ila @FieteGroup this summer and discuss this work. Happy to see it published! Lots of testable predictions in there

How does the brain balance hunger and satiety? 🧠🍴 @StephenXZhang, @andermann_mark, B. Lowell & @LinTianPhD teams show how NPY & αMSH neuropeptides compete to regulate hypothalamic cAMP, guiding the transition to satiety in #awakemice 👏👏👏 https://t.co/3d7YCIqFXN

Another fun *call for diversity in animal models* read is from Michael yartsev: https://t.co/rNkBjQv9Nd

Read this a few weeks ago 10/10

-> Agoutis do cool scattering behaviors that are super interesting in the context of studying maps.. and they have big brains unlike other guys who do this (e.g. deer mice) so you could record from more brain regions simultaneously 💯

[Maximiliano José Nigro @MaxNigro_Neuro]

Very interesting review by @neuroetho and Galvez that resonated with so many points that pushed me into neurobiology

I really appreciated the call for a diversity of approaches and models that was so prominent early on!

[Weijian Zong @WikiZong]

Zong lab got an NTNU Discovery Grant for developing new 2P miniscopes! Thank the NTNU Discovery committee and Sparebank, the sponsor! The project is led by an amazing postdoc @Antonio_lorca_ and got strong support from Annelene Dahl @NTNUTTO! So encouraging for us!

[Yangfan Peng @YangfanPeng]

Delighted to share my postdoc project on https://t.co/0YyVILokb8! We used multi-Neuropixels during reaching and found preserved population dynamics across regions, sessions and animals that are not only linked to movement, but also the continuous expectation of action outcome.

[David Klindt @klindt_david]

🚀 Thrilled to announce our new paper: “Cross-Entropy is All You Need: Classification for Provably Identifiable Representations” 📄 https://t.co/Z27JT5CNtH

🎉 Why I’m excited 🧵: [0/n]

[Jo Carpenter @JCarpenter___]

@klindt_david @Erik_Hermansen1 @adric_dunn @NicolaiWaniek We miss you 🥲🥲

[Jo Carpenter @JCarpenter___]

It’s always a fun lab meeting when the prodigal child @Erik_Hermansen1 returns! (booking conference rooms is not our strong suit)

[Adrien Peyrache 🪐😴⚡️ @apeyrache]

🥳Super pumped to share our latest collaboration with @EmilieMaceLab and Stuart Trenholm.
We show how visual objects specifically recruit neurons in the spatial navigation system, especially in the head-direction network, suggesting a specific circuit to detect landmarks 1/

[Nacho Sanguinetti🥸 @neuroetho]

🚨Fun Rodent alert ‼️ I’m excited to share a review of what is becoming one of my passion projects since around 2019, that blossom at @PennSAS . The future of Natural Neuroscience with the Agouti! Published today in Ethology. Sooo, What is an Agouti? 🧵 https://t.co/N4o8NMJgwi

[Mackenzie Weygandt Mathis, PhD @TrackingActions]

✨🥰 check out our article - and cover 🤩- about Decoding the Brain in @CellCellPress

https://t.co/HWBquErj0f

We review the mathematics, current approaches, and muse about the future…

Thanks to my awesome co-authors Adriana Perez Rotondo, Edward Chang, @AToliasLab & @TrackingPlumes

[Fergil Mills @fergilmills]

Wanted to once again encourage anyone on the job market to apply @UUNeurobiology !

Starting my lab here has been a dream come true - simply an amazing research comuunity, with incredible students, colleagues, resources and mentoring for new PIs!

[Surya Ganguli @SuryaGanguli]

Our new paper in @Nature shows that entorhinal grid cells adapt their representations to a new environment in one-shot and we derive a model that fuses landmarks & motion to *predict* the detailed grid rep *before* the mouse enters the new environment!
