10 yrs ago, a group of us started @IntlBrainLab b/c we thought neuroscience needed more big, open datasets & multi-lab efforts. Seeing this approach now asking questions about aging brains, questions none of us could easily answer alone, is exactly why we built it this way.

Proud of everything we have accomplished this past year in Shadow A Scientist, looking forward to year 5 with a great team.

[UNCShadowAScientist @Shadow_UNC]

This year, Shadow A Scientist hosted 7 UNC campus visits, welcoming 199 high school students for lab shadowing, campus tours, Lunch & Learns, Fold-it tutorials, and Paths in Science presentations.

Thank you to our ambassadors, Executive Board, and sponsor @RosettaCommons.

Our joint study with Takaki Komiyama @takaki_komiyama is out in @Nature !

We found cell type-specific changes in the cortical circuit of Huntington’s disease mice. Optogenetic stimulation of VIP cells rescued circuit defects and improved motor function.

Want to filter out artifacts from Neuropixel recordings? There's something you should know: not all channels are recorded simultaneously! If you don't correct for this before filtering you still end up with artifacts. Join me for a deep dive in Neuropixel acquisition👇

We had a fantastic time hosting students from Panther Creek High School last Friday! Thank you students, ambassadors, & the exec team for making this all possible!

[BBSP @ UNC @UNCBBSP]

Fantastic showing with the NSF GRFP this year! Congrats to awardees @oliviasteiner28, @DhuviKarthikey1, McKenzie Grundy, @cole_398, Eva Mei Shouse, @RRSharp122, and Glory Dan-Dukor, plus honorable mentions for @EberhardQuinn, @addie_coke, @ReaganBullins, and @meganbrienne!

[Reagan Bullins Shugg @ReaganShugg]

@BrianGural @ampolter yes 100%

[Nico Pegard @UNC_Optics]

Do you want to use a DMD to modulate light in your setup without spending 10+k$ on a custom devlopment board? My (amazing) students @Mariamag0614 @VinceRCurtis and @e_11_ie made this video to show you how to isolate the chip in a <$200 videoprojector ! https://t.co/rnsOJXKkyP

I am happy to share our new paper now on @Science. We discovered that rapid eye movements (REM) during sleep provide a readout of the internal representation of head direction, suggesting they could reveal gaze shifts in dreams. Link:https://t.co/eRHm09yJAa -Brief🧵follows⬇️ 1/7

@oda_sci @NIH @NSF @UNC_GradSchool @uncbrybar Congratulations, Odessa! Inspiring work 🎉

[Reagan Bullins Shugg @ReaganShugg]

@meowow22 @DCI Alright, thank you!

Neuromatch coursework is open to all with lectures and guided tutorials found here: https://t.co/jUW32bAGkh

[Reagan Bullins Shugg @ReaganShugg]

@neuromatch 2022 is a wrap! I had a great experience working with a talented group of people and learning all things computational neuroscience.
After 3 packed weeks, now I’m going to take a break and try to not see Poisson distributions everywhere I look 👀

Thanks to all!
