Happy to share the first paper from my journey at @psich towards X-ray connectomics, now out in @naturemethods: nature.com/articles/s41592-0…

Very excited about this preprint! We use a K-mirror and a tunable lens to flexibly align the two-photon imaging plane with curved biological structures. Great work of PhD student @ShinjinNeuro101, with Fritjof Helmchen, @LucaGodenzini, and many others! biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…
Fantastic opportunity!
🌟 Applications are open! The Princeton Neuroscience Institute invites exceptional postdoctoral researchers to apply for our CV Starr Fellowship, which provides an attractive salary and research funds.
Starr fellows have access to state of the art facilities for experimental research in all of major research areas at PNI, as well as advanced computational resources that support theoretical and quantitative approaches to neuroscience.
🗓️ Deadline: Nov. 06, 2026

Our work with José-Alain Sahel's team and @GenSightBio on optogenetic vision restoration is now published in @NEJM
The treatment was safe in all 10 participants, with visual improvements in several patients.

Here's Tristan Buckmaster's statement. (You've probably seen bits of it quoted here today, but the whole thing is worth reading.)

Congrats @SebastianSeung , @zhihaozheng , et al!

Even if we have ways to break up neural networks into interpretable parts, the largest weights between those parts can be confusing. Why is that?
In our new research note, we study the *weight* superposition that causes interference weights.

Harvard Neurobiology + Kempner are hiring a tenure-track Assistant Professor in computational neuroscience. The search is broad; researchers combining computational and experimental work (including nonhuman-primate research) should apply!

Happy to share the CA3 dataset is published. First large-scale dense connectomics from hippocampus. First connectomic dataset imaged in @PrincetonNeuro. A harbinger of many larger datasets to come (for both). doi.org/10.1038/s41593-026-0… (1/3)

Just published yesterday, the #BANC! A full central nervous system (CNS) connectome of a limbed animal enables us to trace sensory-motor arcs and understand how the CNS controls the body. rdcu.be/fncjS #neuroscience @Nature, Video by @quorumetrix, sound on! 1/18
Huge congratulations, awesome to see this out!
Meet Eyewire II: a new connectomic resource for the mouse retina.
~1 mm² of retina at nm resolution, with synapses and circuits of ca. 100,000 neurons + visual responses from the ~400 neurons shown in the video!

Our SPATIAL platform enabled the discovery of a previously undescribed microglial subpopulation in human Alzheimer's disease brain.
704,706 cells. Full morphology. One platform.
Excited to share our paper published today in @NatureNeuro: nature.com/articles/s41593-0…
Using spatial proteomics, we identified a plaque-associated microglial population that emerged only when morphology and spatial context were integrated with protein expression.

Big news for the @Princeton neural circuit research community ! 🔬🧠
Thanks to an award from @princetonideas, we're acquiring a new light sheet fluorescence microscope. Paired with LICONN tissue expansion, it maps axons & synapses at nanoscale resolution.

Can generative AI accelerate neuroscience? Excited to share MoGen at ICLR 2026!🧠
We use point cloud flow matching to generate high-fidelity 3D neuron fragments, capturing intricate details like dendritic spines.
Great opportunity to shape the future of X-ray connectomics (and much more 😉):
PSI is looking for a new head of the Center for Photon Science
