New paper out in @NatureComms! Combining in vivo cell-attached, extracellular, and whole-cell recordings during behavior with a spiking RNN we show how a diversity of neural response types contributes to network function and task performance. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Contributions of cortical neuron firing patterns, synaptic connectivity, and plasticity to task...

Nature Communications - How synaptic plasticity rules lead to diverse neural responses in a spiking neural network model remains poorly understood. Here, the authors show how a diversity of...

Replying to @Jared_Boyce
We’ve never had a single Black science laureate, ever. Its typically not discussed because its commonplace, a known, a given. As more doors of access are opened to us to reach for the upper echelons of science, I hope this changes one day…

Sharing b/c: 1) If you're part of an underrepresented group & picked up on this - you're not imagining it. 2) It's sad to hear trainees describing familiar challenges. We can & must do better. These interactions tell you a lot about a field's culture. Let's improve it 3/3

Our lab has SEVEN presentations on the last/best day of SfN. Come start your day with us in S106, and spend the afternoon at posters G27-G31. We've got vision, audition(!), learning, memory, sequential decisions, disease models, and lots of neural populations. See you there!

Kanaka Rajan @KanakaRajanPhD sat down with @OliviaGieger to discuss how art can help explain complex ideas without diluting the science. thetransmitter.org/craft-and…

How neuroscience comics add KA-POW! to the field: Q&A with Kanaka Rajan

The artistic approach can help explain complex ideas frame by frame without diluting the science, Rajan says.

Black In Neuro 🧠@BlackInNeuro23 Jul 2024
On Thursday August 1 we will be back with one of our most popular days of #BINW24. 🧠 NeuroRacism is all about the ways in which racism within our society can be perpetuated through neuroscience. This year we build on this premise with a panel discussion. ✊🏾✨ 🧵(1/2)
#NeuroRacism flyer with dynamic sky blue background with fists raised at the bottom. There is a circle with the heading Thursday, August 1. Below that in the circle text read: “Tune into our panel discussion on the current state of diversity, equity, and inclusion and taking action towards its reprioritization. Don't forget to use the hashtag #NeuroRacism when discussing the event on social media!". The Black In Neuro logo is in the bottle left corner with text "#BINW24".
