📣 Neuro postdoc jobs!🧠

My lab in Oxford has openings for 1) a 2-photon microscopist interested in 3-photon imaging in vivo and 2) a slice physiologist interested in patching in vivo. If this is you, please Direct Message me.

[Laura Andreae @L_andreae]

Very honoured (and surprised!) to receive this award! Thanks to all the many incredible scientists who have been part of this journey, too many to mention but especially @carmensandi10 @meganinlisbon and all @network_alba , all @BritishNeuro @dev_neuro and @FensKavliNet 🙏🙏🙏💕

Just posted! https://t.co/i69XhsTf8t. How do #neurons wire up during #development at the right time in the right place? We looked at glutamatergic excitatory synapses in the hippocampus in vivo and found an unexpected role for NMDA receptors in a very early ‘critical window’🧵

[Miguel Maravall @MMaravall]

Postdoc open in my lab at @SussexNeuro in wonderful Brighton to investigate neural activity in mice during goal-directed whisker-guided behaviour. 2-photon imaging and/or computational analysis. DM, or email [email protected]

New piece by the amazing @minikerri in @nature on how studying ethological behaviours not only is fun, but may also help us understanding a little bit more of how the brain works with @trabranco ,@SWC_Neuro and many others!!

[Cousin Lab @theCousinLab]

It was 12 years in the making, but the latest paper from @TheCousinLab is finally published in @CellReports!! Here we reveal a key role for phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase IIα (PI4KIIα) in activity-dependent bulk endocytosis (ADBE) - https://t.co/MeHy9RiW4e
