Besides being really cool research, this preprint by @_roseying and @CarasLab has the BEST cartoons of Gerbils I’ve ever seen in a scientific figure! 😭💯
Check out our new paper from @OxfordHearing:
We reveal that subcortical transformations account for most of the cortical nonlinear encoding of sound by introducing population communication models which outperform receptive field model predictions by 70% https://t.co/pItir58Y2B🧵
Open PhD position to study neural dynamics of attention. I am looking for a PhD candidate for a three-year project in the @ObleserLab at @UniLuebeck, funded by @dfg_public. Spread the word and don’t hesitate to contact me in case you have any questions. https://t.co/luTzd21dmL
We are recruiting a graduate student! Our lab works on top-down modulation of auditory processing using circuit techniques in animal models. If interested, please reach out directly and/or apply to the UIUC Neuroscience Program (https://t.co/mFrsPPCwlM)
The last paper of my PhD got finally published in #FrontiersInSystemsNeuroscience. This work shows that optogenetics can be used to excite two separated neuronal ensembles along the ICC tonotpy (1)

(3) I want to highlight the performance of two great students, Adina and Jana (not on here) wo where extremely supportive and who worked very hard to support the whole project!
Thanks also to @LabHildebrandt for the great support and mentorship over all these years.
(2) and that mice can discriminate between these two activation points in a freely moving change detection task.
This is important as neuronal prosthesis in the central auditory system need to excite multiple tonotopic layers to receive frequency resolution.
🧵new pre-print studying the inferior colliculus. From co-first authors Kaiwen Shi and @GArtofscience, along with @MeikeRogalla, Alex Ford and Jordyn Czarny. A bit of background: The IC is super interesting because...
I am devastated to hear about the loss of Prof. Dr. Gerhard Roth, a brilliant neuroscientist, and a godfather of German neuroscience communication. He was my first mentor in academia and he significantly contributed to my choice of obtaining a science career!
