✨New preprint✨ Ever dreamed of combining brain-wide fUS imaging, two-photon imaging, ephys, and optogenetics in mice during your favorite head-fixed task? Want to also capture their facial expressions? We present the COMBO window to facilitate all these techniques!

We’re excited to extend noninvasive optogenetics beyond the brain to address a nearly 150-year-old question in a new study out today @Nature: https://t.co/DjQ22EAtWy Work led by @HsuehBrian, myself, and @KarlDeisseroth, with an amazing team in the D-lab and many others!

Thank you @SLBconference! I really enjoyed participating and am looking forward to the next SLB meeting already.

Congrats Antonia Drinnenberg on receiving a best poster presentation award (2nd place) !

Excited to share a method for precise whole-gene knockin in the short-lived African turquoise killifish!!! Such a fun project with @ClaireBedbrook Rahul Nagvekar @KarlDeisseroth @Brunetlab!!!!

The Sylwestrak Lab is hiring! We have an open position for a research assistant in beautiful Eugene, OR. Great opportunity to gain lab experience in a variety of neuroscience approaches, both cellular/molecular and systems-level analyses. Check us out: https://t.co/xL9MEF7WGD

Picard management tip: If you've recently turned into a monster, go take a vacation.

How widespread are our memories stored in the brain? Our new study, open access in @NatureNeuro, investigates how category learning changes neuronal representations in mouse visual cortical areas. (1/8) @mpi_neuro @sandra_tanja @t_bonhoeffer @MHuebener https://t.co/6IVQBmwWOD

Neurons in MEC doing their thing while a mouse is playing a video game. Find out more in our paper led by @malcgcamp and myself, together with @SamOcko @SuryaGanguli and @lisa_giocomo: https://t.co/wK2mFUuI5q. Great thread by @lisa_giocomo here: https://t.co/UjGq3EoW86

Congrats to @malcgcamp @Alex_Attinger @SamOcko @SuryaGanguli on their exciting paper out today! 🧵 https://t.co/RqZMmIiI2g . .

I am excited to announce that I will be starting a new lab at the National Institute of Genetics, Japan @NIG_idenken as a permanent Professor from October 2021. I am looking for PhD students/postdocs who work on visual circuits of mice and marmosets! https://t.co/koNavZ45He

Functional ultrasound has come a long way! In this opinion piece, we review recent advances in the field. We think this method is particularly promising for systems neuroscience in mice, where it can image whole-brain activity during behavior and circuit manipulations. Link👇

I'm interviewing a male academic about what it's like to be a academic at the same time as being a man. What should I ask him?

Frustrated that your mouse isn’t learning fast enough? Maybe give it something interesting to do and then get out of its way. New paper with Matt Rosenberg @MH_Rosenberg, Tony Zhang @tonyzhang_, and Pietro Perona @PietroPerona. https://t.co/wbeuAivULI 1/3

Check out our #SfNConnectome21 poster: "An ethological model of visual distance estimation in the mouse" (P228.03). Turns out lab mice 1) are good jumpers, 2) don't need binocular vision to be accurate, and 3) perform better if they bob their heads to get motion parallax cues!

Check out @malcgcamp and my paper on bioarxiv (and @lisa_giocomo’s awesome tweet thread). Thanks to the whole team!!

There's so much burning right now on the West Coast. Just dreadful satellite imagery.

#CreekFire #pyrocumulus cloud from the air. Wow. #CAwx #CAfire @nplareau @NickyNaus @RobMayeda

“Mister Netzhaut [Retina]” Botond Roska, featured in the main print version of one of the most famous German newspapers @zeitonline Nice to see retina research reaching that level of popularity.
