Out in @Nature today, our latest effort at understanding norepinephrine spatiotemporal dynamics during learned behavior. Work done with @gabidrummond24 while I was transitioning from the @surlabmit to my new position @CERVO. https://t.co/vG9sPH3kIt Thread (1/9):

[Paul Masset @paul_masset]

Our work with @pablo_tano8 ,
@HyungGoo_Kim @AtharNMalik @pouget_alex
and Nao Uchida exploring how dopamine neurons could enable multi-timescale reinforcement learning in the brain is out in @Nature

[Vincent Breton-Provencher @vbprovencher]

My lab at Université Laval in Québec City, Canada, is looking for a postdoc to study how neuromodulatory systems impact cortical processing during foraging behavior. This fully-funded position offers a collaborative environment in a great city.

I agree, #neuroscience has officially moved.

This will be my last tweet

Apply now for the next Neurophotonics Summerschool in Quebec City. 👇👇👇

[Neurophotonics @Neurophotonics]

The call for participation to the Summer School Frontiers in Neurophotonics is now open! The school that combines tutorials given by experts in Neurophotonics with hands-on experiments will be held from June 2nd to June 13th, 2025. Visit https://t.co/x6DwNcG7Zq for more infos

[Paul Masset @paul_masset]

I am recruiting graduate students for my lab @mcgillu for admission in Fall 2025! Get in touch if you're interested in how brain circuits implement distributed computation, including dopamine-based distributed RL and probabilistic representations.

[Alex Caron @AlexandrCaron]

Happy to share Anisia's work @AJPEndoMetab where we found that the adrenoceptor alpha-1b plays a key role in mediating the effects of the sympathetic nervous system on hepatic metabolism, particularly in female mice!

A promisiong way to reduce glial scars when using chronic electrode implantation. Results from a collaboration that was initiated a few years ago. https://t.co/At0P4dlmIj

[Valerio Zerbi @Valerio_Zerbi]

🔔🔵After nearly 5 years from its conception with @BohacekLab, I'm proud to share that our paper on opto-fMRI of the Locus Coeruleus is finally published in @NatureNeuro! Huge thanks to everyone who contributed—including reviewers and editors!

[Gord Fishell @GordFishell]

Excited to publish a broad set of enhancers to target interneuron types in the brain, along with a broad set of collaborators. This is part of the BI armamentarium, which together will help revolutionize the targeting and understanding of brain circuits.

[Lin Tian, PhD @LinTianPhD]

New paper out in @NatureNeuro!

Collaborating with several labs, we developed genetically encoded biosensors to track opioid pharmacology in the brain & provide powerful new tools for dissecting complex circuit-specific dynamics 🔧🧠

@jkeram7 @CERVO_ULaval @CAN_ACN @CIHR_INMHA @universitelaval Congratulations!

[Vincent Breton-Provencher @vbprovencher]

@Franklandlab Would spin those J&TMC and squeeze records anytime! 10/10

[Vincent Breton-Provencher @vbprovencher]

@MarkCembrowski Niceeeeee!

[tommaso patriarchi @tpatriarchi]

Our new approach for #chemogenetic tuning of #dopamine imaging sensitivity is now out in
@NatureComms
Fantastic teamwork by @LabouesseMarie Maria Wilhelm, Zacharoula Kagiampaki, Andrew Yee and many amazing collabs! @LouisTrudeau @SychYaroslav https://t.co/MmtyPfqN92

[Vincent Breton-Provencher @vbprovencher]

@MarkCembrowski @AlzCanada @BrainCanada 👍🏻 congratulations

[Jibran Khokhar @DrJKhokhar]

Happy to share this pre-print led by Hayley Thorpe (post-doc in @JKhokharLab) in collaboration with @e_covey_johnson @AbePalmer and Sandra Sanchez-Roige!

[Mac Shine @jmacshine]

As a scientist, one of my absolute fav things to do is apply methods that we've developed to imaging datasets from the literature that we love to test our theories of how the brain is organised. Our newest paper in @CellReports led by @NatashaL_Taylor ticks all these boxes!

[Jesper Sjöström @pjsjostrom.bsky.social @pj_sjostrom]

The Sjöström Lab is looking for a postdoc, with application deadline July 31st! See attached for details.

[Jordan McCall @jordacular]

Extremely pleased to finally share Chao’s hard work developing and implementing a strategy to identify GPCR agonists that selectively modulate particular locus coeruleus (LC) projections. Rarely have I ever been so proud of a person or a paper, I sincerely hope you enjoy it too.
