Neuroscientist 🧠 Postdoc with @kaymtye at @salkinstitute

[Salk Institute @salkinstitute]

Congratulations to Talmo Pereira, PhD, on joining Salk's faculty as an assistant professor! 🎉

Pereira is a computational neuroscientist who develops AI-based tools to study how living things move, from plants to humans, to better understand how brains, bodies, and behaviors work.

As a Salk Fellow, his lab pioneered markerless motion capture using deep learning through the open-source software tool SLEAP, now used by tens of thousands of researchers in more than 90 countries to study everything from subcellular organelles to whale sharks.

Pereira's lab is now developing “embodied digital twins,” virtual representations of animals that could help scientists decode how brain activity generates movement and reveal early signs of disease.

Excited to share our latest work in @Nature showing shared neural substrates for parenting and prosocial helping behavior - fantastic work by @Fangmiao4, @KaylaYingYan, and Emily Wu. Full text available here: https://t.co/1MdwgGaLIz

[Weizhe Hong @TheHongLab]

We often think of survival as an individual act. But when facing hardship together, social groups may function more like a unified system than a collection of separate individuals

Excited to share our latest work @NatureNeuro on collective social dynamics

Excited to share my postdoc work is out in @NatureNeuro today!

We examined how the brain enables social groups to collectively coordinate their behavior in the face of environmental challenge ❄️🐭🐭🐭🐭❄️ :

"High-resolution activity maps of PFC did NOT align with cytoarchitecturally defined subregions."
Tenet in neuroscience is that cytoarchitectonic boundaries correspond to function.

After one and a half years, this is still valid🐐

[Bitna Joo @bitnajooo]

Experiencing a surreal life these days with an incredible lab, an epic mentor @kaymtye and super supportive teams @salkinstitute Love being here!

[Kay M Tye PhD @kaymtye]

So grateful to all the amazing scientists that I have had the privilege of working with over the years, and catching up with lab alums and introducing them to current lab members

[Kay M Tye PhD @kaymtye]

Those of you who made it last time at Parq will remember it was epic. Everyone is welcome, but come early — we have heavy hitter DJs opening (DJ Crykit flying in from Vegas) and will be giving out VIP bracelets at our posters to whoever provides the most useful feedback!!
