1/7 First #preprint from my lab just posted! Team effort from the entire lab - think of it as our debut. New behavior to ask how hearing is integrated with free movement of the whole body. Mice surprisingly resilient to #hearingloss, in an unexpected way https://t.co/j7Tbk8QjZH

[Ruidong Chen 陈睿东 @RuidongChen]

Hello neuroscience postdocs! Do you have exciting work and future plans? We are hoping to invite you to give a talk at MIT BCS! details https://t.co/wSlaNkwPNh

What activates secondary thalamus? We recorded in POm and LP/pulvinar in trained mice. Come see pulvinar respond better to touch than vision, and POm respond better to vision than touch. (No, I didn't accidentally mislabel those.) #SfN23 poster Z28 on Tuesday morning. #SfN2023

[Randy Bruno @TheBrunoCortex]

What does somatosensory cortex know about sound? 👂 🎵 If somatosensory cortex is plastic after tactile experience, can it learn auditory-tactile associations, too? Come hear Dan Kato at his #SfN23 poster on Monday morning - EE23. #SfN2023

I am very excited to announce that I will start my own lab at the Grossman Center at @UChicago_Brains in late winter 2024! I am looking forward to working alongside with its members and the rest of the Dept. of Neurobiology. I'll start hiring soon, reach out if interested!

[Felix Leroy @FelixFelxfel]

I’m elated to share the first research article from the lab. This would not have been possible without the hard work from my lab members and collaborators. I also have a special thought for our co-author, Jay Shulkin, who passed away recently. See thread in the tweet below.

@DLRamamurthy Congrats!!!

[Jung Park @JNeuroPark]

@gabrielmstine She does start with professional illustrator skills... has to account for 6 months at least

[Gabe Stine @gabrielmstine]

Excited to share that my paper with @d_jeurissen_ , @EricMTrautmann, and @shadlen is out in @NeuroCellPress today! We used simultaneous recording/inactivation in the sup colliculus and LIP to uncover a mechanism in SC for terminating perceptual decisions. https://t.co/ZybDalXFRn

We are super excited to host the 2023 Rising Stars in Neuroscience Symposium! Check out this amazing group of speakers.
If you’d like to attend the symposium virtually on 5/22 from 9am-3pm (MT), please register here:

CA2 is critical for social but not nonsocial memory. We wondered what neural code could support such features and what the underlying sensory signals might be. Now published @NeuroCellPress. Thanks to everyone involved bringing this story to life!

@GabbySahyoun Congrats Gabby!!!

[Y. Kate Hong @ykatehong]

We're hiring #postdocjobs! Interests: cortical-subcortical interactions underlying tactile perception and decision-making; neural mechanisms of tactile sensitivity in mouse models of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
DM me for details or apply here: https://t.co/Rarg74jARp

[Ramon Nogueira @RNogueiraNeuro]

Our article “The geometry of cortical representations of touch in rodents” with @chrisXrodgers @TheBrunoCortex @StefanoFusi2 is finally out! In brief, we found that whisker contacts in mice S1 are represented in approximately orthogonal subspaces https://t.co/BSzOqUPwuL 👇🧵

[Y. Kate Hong @ykatehong]

Honored and excited for the opportunity to pilot new studies in the lab!

[Randy Bruno @TheBrunoCortex]

Come see our work on Time Coding and Temporal Surprise in sensory cortex #SfN22, Saturday 1-5PM, poster board J4 -- surprising results from Rikki Rabinovich and Dan Kato!

[Jung Park @JNeuroPark]

Excited to (re)connect with colleagues old and new! Swing by our poster to learn about learning deficits in transgenic cre lines, presented by my rockstar student @nina_okinawa #SfN22

[Randy Bruno @TheBrunoCortex]

Come here about learning deficits in (some but not all) transgenic cre lines! #SfN22 Sunday 1-5PM, poster board M2 -- presented by @nina_okinawa and @JNeuroPark

[Seungwon (Sebastian) Choi 최승원 @SSebastianChoi]

Choi lab (4 months old) is recruiting postsocs! We study touch and pain pathways. I’ll be presenting a poster at #SfN22, mostly on my (un)published postdoc work, but please DM/email me if you are interested in connecting, and I’ll be happy to chat about research directions!
