Check out my latest work with @AMMmatheson on the circuits controlling goal-directed navigation in flies!

[andrew matheson @AMMmatheson]

How do animals navigate to goals in their environments? In the Nagel lab’s latest pre-print @ajlanz2 and I explore how the brain locates the most important goal, food. We identify a neural circuit for wind-guided olfactory navigation in Drosophila.

Thrilled to share that I’ll be starting my lab in the Kresge Hearing Research Institute @UMichOto in May!

We study how the brain turns gravity signals into stable movement → https://t.co/cFTiiTbjSY (yup, proudly a #zebrafish lab🐟)

If you're interested, get in touch! #newPI

Excited to share a preprint for our new orange calcium biosensor, OCaMP, developed by Abhi Aggarwal! This was a true tour de force with incredible collaborators across the world! (Too many to list here!) https://t.co/8f5pZucldY

Come check out my poster at #SfN24! I'm looking at a recurrent network in flies that uses slow excitation and fast inhibition to generate persistent activity for goal directed navigation: M12 on Oct 6, 8am-12pm

[Dima Rinberg @DimaRinberg]

We are looking for a postdoc to lead a new project in olfactory diagnostics: can we detect human diseases using the mammalian olfactory system as supersensitive, broadband chemical detector? A lot of imaging, data analysis and gas chromatography…. https://t.co/mj3laLAlDU

@winnieyangwn @ScienceMagazine Congrats Winnie!!

[Syed, Mübarak Hussain @NeuroSeq]

Our first major story is online. We link stem cells to Olf. Nav circuit & behavior. Excellent work by @AishaHamid201 Hannah et al. & a fantastic collaboration with Kathy, who is an outstanding scientist & person. Thanks to all the authors 1/n https://t.co/YsAWANuUgq

Hypothalamic CRH neurons remember the good and the bad … and they do it their own way! Amazing persistence by Tamás Füzesi and great teamwork. Also a huge thanks to Wilten Nicola! https://t.co/Bz0btqCwDZ

[Winnie Yang @winnieyangwn]

🔥 How does the brain select what to remember? Our new work sheds light on the brain's mechanism for memory selection, uncovering a relationship between awake and sleep replays. Come check our Buzsaki lab poster at on Nov 12th (1PM-5PM EST)! Bord #SS17, PSTR174.13 1/

Very excited to share our new work using unsupervised machine learning to characterize family specific vocal usage in the Mongolian gerbil!

How does microstimulation of cortex, which at best targets specific areas, reliably produce natural percepts? In the latest @CurrentBiology, @RPancholi19 shows that optical microstimulation of barrel cortex engages natural sensory populations.

[Aaron Lanz @ajlanz2]

At first glance, this review might look extremely niche, but I think it speaks towards a much broader question: how do animals (and the brain) navigate towards ambiguous goals in space? And, how are these strategies shaped by the animals' environment?

[Aaron Lanz @ajlanz2]

Check out our new review on olfactory navigation in arthropods (with Theresa Steele and Kathy Nagel).

Seizures are just hyperexcitability, right? Think again! Inhibition is everywhere in the brain, but how does it change during a seizure? We re-imagined a new approach to assay neuronal excitability using all-optical interrogation in vivo. Check it out! 👇

(1/7) Now that SfN is over, sate your neuro hunger with a new preprint from the talented MD/PhD student, @RPancholi19: "Microstimulation of sensory cortex engages natural sensory representations" https://t.co/eCRI9Avidh
