Postdoc @Harvard / @UCBerkeleyNeuro & @uprrp 🇵🇷 alumnus / A stats nerd that manipulates neural circuits to study the brain & behavior 🤓 #DSPANScholar

[Ching Fang (chingfang.bsky.social) @chingfang17]

Excited to share a new paper with @neuro_kim: “Predictive auxiliary objectives in deep RL mimic learning in the brain”, which has been accepted as an #ICLR2024 oral and #Cosyne2024 talk! https://t.co/JuzMmWLqKh. A short summary:

[Amy LeMessurier @AmyLeMessurier]

If you’re at cosyne check out my poster tonight - pup call encoding, maternal behavior, and auditory cortex projection neurons #cosyne23 #cosyne2023

[Steffen Wolff @SBE_Wolff]

The Wolff Lab is hiring! Ever wondered if rats can learn to play beach volleyball (or other cool skills)? Looking for a postdoc position and want to find out? Check out our research on motor skill learning and hit me up at #sfn2022 or send me an email!

[Kristopher Torp Jensen @KrisTorpJensen]

Thrilled that this is finally out!!
Can’t thank my co-authors, the three reviewers, and the entire Ölveczky lab enough for all the help along the way - and of course @StephenEglen for running the MPhil course that the project grew out of!

[Kiah Hardcastle @kiahhardcastle]

Excited to share a new Current Opinion piece written by @NKadmonHarpaz , @BOlveczky, and myself! https://t.co/OHs4EvaG7M
In it, we discuss how neural circuits support motor sequence learning. Read on for a short 🧵!

[Kevin Mizes @KevinMizes]

Thrilled to share my graduate work with PI @BOlveczky and co-authors @Jack_W_Lindsey & @seanescola: 'piano playing' rats!

tl;dr - striatum is needed to produce automatic but not flexible sequences, but it codes for & controls low-level kinematics for both

[Steffen Wolff @SBE_Wolff]

Our research was on TV! Thanks to @nbcwashington for the nice piece on our recent paper with @BOlveczky : https://t.co/PZqExjpEjZ

[Chris Rodgers @chrisXrodgers]

Finishing your PhD and interested in doing a postdoc in large-scale ephys? My lab at Emory studies distributed processing across sensorimotor brain regions in freely moving mice. Seeking someone to lead a project using our resources for 128ch wireless/640ch wired/opto etc.

[Jesse Marshall @jessedmarshall]

Our review finally out in Current Opinion in Neurobiology: https://t.co/3bqNkr57zj

[Steffen Wolff @SBE_Wolff]

It’s finally out! The second half of my postdoc work with @BOlveczky explores the role of the striatum and its cortical and thalamic inputs in motor skill learning and execution. Here is what it’s all about: 1/17

[Steffen Wolff @SBE_Wolff]

More than happy to announce that I will open my lab at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore this March! Big thanks to all who made this possible! The Wolff Lab will study all facets of motor skill learning and is hiring at all levels! https://t.co/GMU54gYssD

[Daniel Colón Ramos @dacolon]

Aunque agradezo reconocimiento, tbn me recuerda que en mi pais, Puerto Rico, no hay una academia científica. Hace falta una Academia Nacional Científica Puertorriqueña que beneficie a nuestro país al integrar ciencia en la toma de decisiones. Trabajaremos para eso. /fin

[Daniel Colón Ramos @dacolon]

Conmovido con todos los mensajes que he recibido de mi gente en Puerto Rico, y queria dedicarle unas palabras a mi pueblo, a los estudiantes y a la #cienciaboricua en un dia tan especial. Primero, aclaro que no me veo como esa foto de hace 10 años 🤣 1/ https://t.co/EU2RPyTs9q

[danfeldman.bsky.social @DanFeldmanPhD]

Postdoc position in my lab is open, to study the cellular basis of electrocorticography (ECoG) signals. Joint with Kris Bouchard at LBNL. Uses ECoG, laminar polytrode spike recording & optogenetics. Mesoscopic coding in cortex! See: https://t.co/euWMZXc8t7. Join us at Berkeley!

[Keven Laboy-Juárez @KevenLaboy]

@gottapatchemall One of the hardest things about doing whisker research 🤣

[Keven Laboy-Juárez @KevenLaboy]

Happy to be able share my story. Thanks Ching Fang for the great writeup!

[Scientist on the Subway @Sci_Sub]

Our latest interview is now live on our blog! Dr. Laboy-Juarez is a postdoc at Harvard and studies how different brain regions play distinct roles in movement learning. Read about his journey here: https://t.co/6YhxLzc8Ob
