https://t.co/liwtRSmjx5 This paper comes with free access to a new high-resolution, MRI-based atlas application for anyone to explore. Go here to request access https://t.co/nhqkxcA28U

https://t.co/bOHPjYBbmx I'm excited to see this paper finally come out after many years of work, mostly by the wonderful 1st and 3rd authors Adil and Lefko who really made this project happen. Highest resolution MRI of the human brainstem ever!

Please consider the thoughtful and compelling message of our colleagues who are both advancing science and calling us all to better understand how systemic racism continues to keep the scientific community from being its very best.

Our latest paper on what structure can be seen in the mouse brain with ultra-high resolution MRI: https://t.co/8vlTuNvHNA. I think it is quite impressive that it is now possible to resolve cytoarchitectural structure (olfactory glomeruli, cortical barrels and layers) by MRI.

#SfN2018 This morning @Neurosci2018 featured a stunning set of talks on what is now possible with whole organ and even whole body clearing of tissue to enable light-sheet microscopy. These methods are revealing unprecedented views of cells and circuits in the CNS. @MedNeuroMOOC

[Leonard White @NeuroscienceNow]

#SfN2018 S. Viswanathan just gave an incredibly clear and compelling talk on layer 5 neurons in mouse motor cortex that are distinguished in terms of subcortical projections, laminar localization, genetic expression, and behavioral relevance. @MedNeuroMOOC

"Classroom teaching ... is about changing emotional states." Stephen Rosen at a fall teaching conference (Harvard, Sept 2000), as shared by Richard Olivo @SfN Teaching Workshop #SfN2018 @MedNeuroMOOC

[Leonard White @NeuroscienceNow]

#SFN2018 Ann Graybiel's presentation today was really inspiring! So deserving of the Gruber Prize! I especially appreciated her pursuit of circuit-level mechanisms that would seem to explain the results of behavioral experiments. Looking forward to leaning more! @MedNeuroMOOC

[Leonard White @NeuroscienceNow]

Thanks to the Society for Neuroscience and our outstanding moderators for such a brilliant choice for this year's "Dialogues" lecture! This session was as inspiring as it was informative and intellectually stimulating! @SfNtweets @Neurosci2018

[Leonard White @NeuroscienceNow]

#SFN2018 Great point made by Pat Meheny (extraordinary improviser): that the study of an ensemble of musicians improvising on stage is a highly credible and maybe even ideal setting in which to study human consciousness. @MedNeuroMOOC
