New lab alert!! 🚨 Emily heads off to start the Aery Jones lab! She’s a fantastic, creative and thoughtful scientist who is also an awesome mentor! If you have the opportunity to join her lab - don’t hesitate! I can’t recommend it enough!
I am thrilled to announce that the Aery Jones lab will be starting in January 2026 @UMBaltimore! I've accepted a position in the Department of Neurobiology and Medicine Institute for Neuroscience Discovery.

A part of the Qualia Structure events in 2024. Especially those who misunderstands IIT is all about the scalar number "phi". It is a structural approach to consciousness. RT pls @ShigeruTaguchi @moriguchiy @gudetam57607494 @QtmCogNeuro @oizumim @takato1414 @tanichu @non_svch

Giulio's talk at preASSC satellite 2024. Great intro for IIT per se. Also useful for those who are considering to apply for Qstr-IIT summer school! RT please!

hello world. we have an opening for a strong theory postdoc to work in my lab on a exciting collaboration with Josh Berke and Loren Frank labs modeling and analyzing data on rat hipp-pfc-bg-da involvement in spatial maze foraging, replay, value etc. here: puwebp.princeton.edu/AcadHir…

Make no mistake — these essential, lifesaving activities are being halted right now. Consequences aren’t in some distant future. They are immediate.

How does the brain solve the problem of consolidating new information without interference with prior knowledge? In our recent paper we propose that sleep microstructure and hippocampal replay may offer a solution. Check this thread from first author and super start @hongyu_chang
SEEING THROUGH YOUR EYES 👁️:
Excited to share our new paper (which is out now!!) with Wenbo Tang, @annabellaWulf, @ThokozileNyasu, @Madisonewolf, @antferrui @azayhara : we discovered a novel sleep microstructure that promotes memory replay!

Year over year ROI from government investment in research is 30-100 percent. Far more than the stock market and most of the private sector.

influence of muscle noise on spectrum & 1/f-exponent estimation, example from EEG. generally: the more muscle noise, the flatter the spectrum at higher frequencies.

🤯 Key brain signal linked to memory formation deteriorates after sleep deprivation, finds a study in rats.
Even a night of normal slumber after a poor night’s sleep isn’t enough to fix the brain signal.
For @Nature, w/ @SharpWaveRipple @TedAbelneuro

The Dreamscape Project: Mapping the phenomenological and neurophysiological features of subjective experience during sleep osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/42… This is our accepted proposal for ARCDP2024. Looking for a PhD candidate who are interested in Aim 1 and 3! @thandrillon

New preprint, on 'sequence filtering'.
Led by @CianaDeveau, Z Zhou.
We see this as a key step forw on how cortex works.
All cortical areas have dense exc-exc recurrent connectivity.
What do these connections do, esp in sensory ctx?
Our data say: they do dynamics/time.

ALT slide format: local, recurrent connections are a fundamental feature of the cerebral cortex

Some dreams may, in fact, predict the future!
Fascinating new research from @ckemere at @RiceNeuro and @SharpWaveRipple at @UMich has found that during sleep, some neurons not only replay the recent past but also anticipate upcoming experiences: news.rice.edu/news/2024/brai…

Congratulations @JWietek @OferYizhar and everyone involved! So proud to be part of exciting journey of PdCO - a powerful new optogenetic tool that will surely lead to many new discoveries (RT🙏) Contributing LC->EW asymetric pupil constriction data, this seems appropiate emoji 😉

My lab’s latest, led by the brilliant (and soon-to-be graduating) @hungtu_chen: an intriguing connection between paradoxical replay, splitter cells, and the nature of task representations in neural networks. See below for explainer 🧵!

Neuro postdocs ‼️Cannot recommend this opportunity enough. I speak from experience: selected in 2020, I could connect with @YaleNeuro members (faculty, postdocs, students) whom I met again during my job search last year.
📢Senior postdocs in #neuroscience, our @YaleNeuro @KavliAtYale extramural seminar series SYNAPSES is now accepting applications for 2023/2024! We would love to hear about your work🧠 Learn more and apply by Sept. 5 at medicine.yale.edu/neuroscien… Any area of neuroscience welcome!
ALT Flyer for SYNAPSES (Seminars at Yale Neuroscience: Advanced PoStdoc Extramural Series) call for applications, deadline Sept. 5th.

Tweeting this again in case there is anyone interested in working on this extremely exciting project.
Our lab is recruiting a postdoc or technician to perform calcium imaging and optogenetics for high throughput functional screening in cultured human neurons with loss of function mutations from neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders. email me [email protected]
