Don’t miss the Nanosympsium NANO024 – Connectomics at #SfN2025! 📍San Diego Convention Center, Room 33 ⏰ 8 - 11:30 AM 12 speakers from academia & industry exploring #connectomics across species and questions. With Gregor Schuhknecht @MPIBrain & Helene Schmidt @ESI_Frankfurt

Exciting news! Two new research groups join the @MpiBrain: 🪰Philipp Brand – Evolutionary Neuroscience & Behavior 🐟Gregor Schuhknecht – Brain Algorithms & Circuits More info 👉 https://t.co/sHylcyRN3i #Neuroscience #BrainResearch

Today we celebrate the birthday of not one, but two amazing women in science! 🤗🎉Marie Skłodowska-Curie (1867), who discovered #radium & #polonium & pioneered #radioactivity, & Lise Meitner (1878), whose brilliance uncovered the physics behind #nuclearfission. Happy birthday!

Congratulations to our Managing Director @erin_schuman on being elected to the U.S. National Academy of Medicine! A special honor recognizing her pioneering work on local protein synthesis at synapses. @theNAMedicine #NAMmtg 🔗

We're thrilled to launch the @MpiBrain’s new Cellfies series! Neurons in the larval zebrafish brain react to motion left (purple) or right (green). Explore our Algorithms and Circuits research 🔗 https://t.co/VLPtcx9TiZ @GregorFPS #Cellfie #CalciumImaging #SystemsNeuroscience

🚛 Ribosomes on the road! New research from the Schuman Lab @MpiBrain shows neurons can locally assemble ribosomes - far from the nucleus and close to synapses. A big shift from textbook biology! 📚🧬🔗 https://t.co/RBaqgh5cuc #Neuroscience #CellBiology #Ribosomes

A festive finish to the Max Planck Junior Scholars Program 2025! 🎓 After 3 weeks of hands-on science, twelve outstanding students presented their research & experiences at today’s certificate ceremony @MpiBrain. 🔗 https://t.co/ePdAworN3s @KoerberScience

Honoring excellence 👏 The American Philosophical Society @AmPhilSociety recognizes Gilles Laurent with the 2025 Karl Spencer Lashley Award for his groundbreaking studies on information coding and processing in the central nervous system @maxplanckpress👉 https://t.co/DTIamvRFeW

🎉Huge congratulations to @MpiBrain director @erin_schuman on receiving the 2026 @HFSP Nakasone Award for her groundbreaking work on the function and plasticity of neuronal synapses! 🧠 #Neuroscience #HFSP #NakasoneAward @maxplanckpress 👉 https://t.co/65Yt4VLm8X

The 2025 Max Planck Junior Scholars Program is supported by the @KoerberScience Prize 2024 to @erin_schuman 🙌. (4/4)

Our mission is to spark inspiration, build skills, and open doors to the world of #science — together with outstanding mentors and researchers at the @MpiBrain and our partner institutes: @MPIbp @mpi_hlr and Goethe University. (3/4)

This year’s cohort brings together young people with exceptional scientific curiosity and whom come from underrepresented backgrounds: 🌍 migration backgrounds 💡 first in their family aspiring to attend university 🤝 financially less privileged (2/4)

🚀 We’re thrilled to welcome 14 talented and enthusiastic high-school students to the 2025 Max Planck Junior Scholars Program, kicking off today with our Science Boot Camp Week @MpiBrain ! 🔬🧬 @maxplanckpress @KoerberScience (1/4)

The Max Planck Institute for Brain Research @MpiBrain joined the Be Open about Animal Research Day. You can join too! Show your support and share on #BOARD25

These organisations got on #BOARD25 in Germany. Show your support and share on #BOARD25

🎉 We’re absolutely thrilled: SCALE has been selected as a DFG Excellence Cluster! A huge thank you to our incredible team—this would not have been possible without your dedication and talent. 🙌 @dfg_public #Exzellenzstrategie #SCALEcluster 🧵

#GirlsDay at @MpiBrain - We loved welcoming curious and enthusiastic girls to explore the world of science & research. We're committed to continue to inspire the next generation of researchers. 👩‍🔬 #STEM #WomenInScience #NextGenScientists #Neuroscience
