Excited to share our new study:

"Cold memories control whole-body thermoregulatory responses"

by @Andrea_MZamora, @Akaron0884 & team at @tcddublin, in collaboration with @lynchielydia & @DrChristineAnnD

New preprint from our group. We explore how internal states of hydration and salinization influence value coding by the mesolimbic dopamine system.

Our scientists with over 150 collaborators have released the largest functional map and wiring diagram of the brain to date – seven years in the making.

Today’s 1.6 petabyte release marks a historic day for neuroscience. This moonshot milestone will further efforts towards understanding the cortical mechanisms of intelligence. Congratulations to the teams who made this possible.

We present a platform for behavioral analysis called Simple Behavioral Analysis (SimBA). A sincere thank you to the community for their continued expert feedback and suggestions

[Masayuki_Sakamoto @SakamotoMasayu]

Excited to share that our new paper, led by Tatsushi Yokoyama, is out in @naturemethods . We developed improved genetically encoded green cAMP (cAMPinG1) and red calcium (RCaMP3) indicators for dual-color monitoring of cAMP and calcium signaling in vivo.
