This year's Nobel Prize in Medicine honors optogenetics: switching brain cells on and off with light, using a protein borrowed from pond algae.
Our new post explains how it works and points to open datasets on DANDI where you can see it in action.

DANDI Notebooks can now be opened in Colab with one click or run locally as verified container images. Beyond keeping demos alive, this turns the collection into a home for executable, persistent companions to datasets, figure reproductions included.

We gave a tutorial on @NeurodataWB and DANDI at @CosyneMeeting this year. If you couldn't make it (or want a refresher), the recording covers everything from data standardization to finding and reusing public neurophysiology datasets on DANDI.

Mission: record hippocampal place cells in zero gravity
Crew: 3 rats with electrode arrays
Vehicle: Space Shuttle Columbia
Status: data now publicly available on DANDI, 28 years later
The ratstronauts' mission is finally complete. 🐀🐀🐀🚀 h/t @NASA

Where in the brain does DANDI have data? Now you can find out. DANDI Atlas maps datasets onto the Allen CCF mouse brain atlas in interactive 3D. Explore 47 dandisets across 353 brain regions.

NeuroDataReHack 2026 applications are open!
Join us July 13-17 at Janelia to explore 450+ open neurophys datasets on @DANDIarchive. Learn to analyze existing data and integrate it into your research.
Free to attend, lodging & meals covered.
Apply by Feb 20 nwb.org/events/hck26-2026-ja…
Visit our @DANDIarchive booth #3831 to learn more, provide feedback, have questions answered.

NWB just turned 10 years old! Researchers worldwide have downloaded 1.9 PB of NWB data from the @DANDIArchive. This animation shows the reach of NWB, facilitating collaboration across the globe. What impact has open neurophysiology data had on your science? Share your stories! 🧠

Data reuse represents an opportunity to accelerate science, reduce costs and increase the value of investments. But to date, the field hasn't placed equal emphasis on the reuse side of the data-sharing equation, writes @BenDichter.

Excuses, excuses... Some need to be found because it is harder (technically and mentally) to share AFTER having published the analysis results. Standardize and deposit FIRST "embargoed" (private) and share upon publication (eg see @DANDIarchive and @OpenNeuroOrg for neuro data)
Reasons authors give for not sharing data when their paper says "data available upon request"

We're at #SfN24! Come visit us at booth #1865 joint with @DANDIarchive and check out our showcase of NWB-integrated tools: NWB GUIDE, OpenEphys, AqNWB, HERD, NeuroSift, and MATLAB analyses. We also have several posters on Tues. See details below:
🚀 Exciting news! We now have over 300 open NWB datasets on the DANDI Archive! 🎉 Want to dive in? Visit us at Booth #1865 at #SfN24. We'll be showcasing NWB tools throughout the conference.

A few years ago, @KavliFoundation funded me on a project to launch a learner- and educator-facing set of resources for working with @NeurodataWB files.
I'm excited to say that the first set of "nwb4edu" lessons are now live and ready for adapting!

Very excited for this search -- please apply!!
We're hiring! @DartmouthPBS is searching for a new full-time tenure-track Assistant Professor studying social interaction. We're open to a wide variety of methods and perspectives. Review of applications starts Oct 15. Details here: apply.interfolio.com/151749
