Our recent work presents a 1-gram wireless mesoscope for cortex-wide imaging at single cell resolution in naturally behaving mice, published in @Nature . It's interesting to see large-scale neural activities in multiple mice within a very natural habitat. https://t.co/Nbp67KFTDc
Check out our study out in @NatureComms! Congrats to @RenanaOzRokach with help from Odeya Marmor and Yoav Levy. We studied the 'what' and the 'where' pathways in the mouse whisker system. To do this we trianed mice on a 'what' or a 'where' task while...

(1/5) Proud to share LightSuite, our new preprint led by Dimokratis Karamanlis in the El-Boustani lab at the University of Geneva!

Are you planning a PhD in neuroscience?
The Department of Neurobiology at USC has launched a new PhD program, and we’re recruiting our first cohort.
Our labs seek answers to:
How animals learn, remember, and choose what to do.
How synapses transmit signals and stay stable over a lifetime.
How neural circuits are built, how they fail in disease, and can they be repaired?
How the brain turns sensation into action.
We investigate these questions at scales from single synapses to whole-brain networks, using molecular, genetic, physiological, imaging, computational, and behavioral approaches across model systems.
Explore our labs: https://t.co/EvuEdeqIGZ
What you’ll get:
Full funding: tuition plus a $43,000 annual stipend and health insurance
A small cohort with direct faculty mentorship, where you’ll help shape a program as it grows
Lab rotations across three faculty labs before you choose your thesis lab
Los Angeles: a major research hub with S-tier climate, cultural vibrancy and global influence
Applications due December 1, 2026. GRE optional. Application fee waivers available based on demonstrated need.

Any questions? Reply or DM and I’m happy to answer.
Curious how lipid droplets support innate immunity in our cells? Check out our lipidomics by Bosch et al @CellReports! Critical role of LD phospholipids and lipases in supplying defensive w6 arachidonic acid for inflammation and bacterial phagocytosis. https://t.co/tKsjGm009v
Thrilled to share our new paper, published in @ScienceMagazine! We show how different sensory inputs recruit distinct vascular networks to shape blood flow across cortical layers.

Single-cell RNA-seq transformed biology, but we still sample <0.001% of an organism.
2D sections lose 3D context.
What if we image the whole body first?
We Introduce DISCO-seq🤩: full 3D imaging then scRNAseq👇🏻https://t.co/kYkzAWBxUB

Preprint! 🚨
“Pericyte and Endothelial Primary Cilia and Centrioles have Disparate Organization Across the Brain Microvasculature”
This project took an unexpected turn when we discovered that #pericytes have primary #cilia!

Excited to share our new paper published @NeuroCellPress! We used voltage imaging combined with optogenetics in 4 major hippocampal cell types to study how the behavioural state modulates their firing, subthreshold dynamics, and gain https://t.co/kVzY7Ld9NK
🚨 Postdoc position in my lab @calico is live!
I'm looking for someone deeply curious about the aging brain🧠⌛️, who wants to build novel scientific projects from scratch and carry them to publication and, ideally, into their own lab🥼🧪. No neuroscience background needed.
Bottom line: We may have been measuring the wrong things about sleep.
Total hours, REM percentage, deep sleep duration - none predicted brain cleaning as well as norepinephrine pulse frequency did.
