You don't wanna miss this! If you are interested in optics/neuro/computation, the SLB conference is for you! We have been building an incredible community throughout the years and we have been working hard to plan yet another outstanding event for our community! Join us in Paris!

Preprint alert: our 2P holographic mesoscope preprint is out! A short thread 1/N ... https://t.co/L9rvHzBMeL

[Kevin Sit @neurognome]

Thanks Neurotar! Wouldn't have been possible without your setup.

Mimicking vestibular inputs from head rotation during #2photonmicroscopy in head-fixed #awakemice: an incredibly creative solution by @neurognome & @GoardMichael integrating parts of #Mobile HomeCage https://t.co/qZEPeXdcsV

New paper alert from Goard lab ft. @neurognome! It's been great to watch this work evolve through the years, and the final version really reflects the skills of the team. Happy to see this one out 🐭

[Kevin Sit @neurognome]

No small part due to @GoardMichael's excellent mentorship throughout the years!

[Michael Goard @GoardMichael]

Finally, huge congrats to lead author and our lab’s first PhD graduate Kevin Sit (@neurognome). Kevin recently started his postdoc in Hillel Adesnik’s lab at UC Berkeley - keep your eyes out for more great things from him!

[Michael Goard @GoardMichael]

Very happy to announce a new paper (led by @neurognome) out today in @NatureComms on how mice use visual inputs to orient themselves in their spatial environment: https://t.co/EJ6G04M6mO

Super excited to share that our paper describing EstrousNet is now live in @SciReports! Big thanks to everyone involved, especially our wonderful coauthors @LiisaGalea, @ShanskyLab, @TravisEHodges, @raimondigia, @kevinksit, and @GoardMichael🧵 1/5

@Neurotar_Ltd @GoardMichael Thanks! Couldn't have done it without you guys!

We’ve been waiting for this from @kevinksit & @GoardMichael: heading cells compensate for the absence of vestibular info during #2photonmicroscopy in #awake #headfixed mice in #MobileHomeCage! https://t.co/q7Z0SmvhiE

[Kevin Sit @neurognome]

@yang_youran @GoardMichael Thank you! To target dRSC, we imaged from L2/3 of the dorsal surface immediately adjacent to the sagittal sinus. Since gRSC extends into the midline and visual areas PM/AM are generally >1 mm away, it is unlikely that we imaged neurons there. Happy to discuss more via DM.

[Kevin Sit @neurognome]

Thanks @GoardMichael for all the support and hard work too!

[Michael Goard @GoardMichael]

Very excited about this new manuscript on how RSC neurons contribute to registering heading to visual cues (led by @kevinksit). We'll post a full 🧵 once it's through review, but check out the preprint if you're interested in how mammals orient themselves in their environment:

@neuralengine Thanks Simon!

#NEIfunded retinal degeneration work:

Vision loss is related to hyperactive neurons (downstream to rods & cones) triggered by retinoic acid. RA inhibitors improved vision in a mouse model.

@RichKramerLab @MichaelTelias @kevinksit @GoardMichael @UCBerkeley

[Rich Kramer @RichKramerLab]

Vision loss in retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is not just about death of rods & cones--it also involves hyperactivity of downstream neurons, triggered by retinoic acid (RA).
Hence RA inhibitors can revive vision in RP mice. Now online in Science Advances🧵1/15 https://t.co/hDvMCOom5Y

[Michael Goard @GoardMichael]

It was a pleasure to work on this project with @MichaelTelias @kevinksit and @RichKramerLab.
🧵 coming soon!
