Please re-post! We have some new roles available with the Behavioural Science and Insights Unit at the @ukhsa.bsky.social. We are recruiting into 5 x SEO-level fixed-term roles associated with the NIHR-funded Health Protection Research Units (HPRU) programme (see lnkd.in/ehyBR8KH). Details below:

We are looking for a research assistant/lab manager to join the lab! A supportive, collaborative environment where you can learn neural recording with Neuropixels, optogenetics, fiber photometry, and neural data analysis.

New preprint from the lab: check how AAV-drived Ab42 production changes synapses and population activity in the hippocampus! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Congratulations to our Human Neural Circuitry team; bit.ly/4dEyX7Z publishes today in Science! This was the hardest challenge of my career, but one of the most rewarding, after years of rebuilding– & expanding my inpatient neuropsychiatry in the service of basic discovery bsky.app/profile/deis...

Please consider helping, it really is up to our community to make sure the next generation of scientist even has a chance at pursuing a research career

Dear neuroscientists, The brain cannot generate information about the world de novo, it's impossible. All the brain can do is: 1. Selectively remove info that is irrelevant. 2. Re-emit info previously absorbed via evolution or memory. Our brain never "creates" information. Never. 🧠📈 🧪

Some graduation pics with my amazing students! Cheers to your continued success!! @vassar.bsky.social

This is finally out! Great collaboration with Andy Holmes @timbussey.bsky.social @lisasaksida.bsky.social and @touchscreencog.bsky.social @westernubrainscan.bsky.social trainees www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It’s a difficult time in science, so we are particularly humble and grateful to receive a new R01 from NIAAA/NIH on adolescent binge drinking with Nanyin Zhang. We have the lofty goal of investigating alcohol’s effects with biological depth and to translatable imaging datasets bridge in humans.

I'm hiring a lab tech! If you know any talented college seniors or recent grads who'd enjoy doing cool neuroscience in Baltimore, please encourage them to consider applying: umb.taleo.net/careersectio...

Sharing a new paper from the lab. This paper, led by Sangyoon Ko, represents a merging of two longstanding research themes in the lab-- adult neurogenesis and systems consolidation. rdcu.be/el18q A short thread follows for those interested. 1/n

This marks my first-author contribution as part of the Maren Lab team! Our findings shed new light on the mechanisms underlying context-dependent extinction of learned fear. Huge thanks to @stevemaren.bsky.social , Tugce tuna, and @mictott.bsky.social for teamwork. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Still feeling the glow from an amazing day of yoga w my students at Vassar College. Thanks to Carla Olla for the wonderful #yoga practice & teachings. So valuable for students' lives and the many communities they serve. A fabulous day for all! 🧘🏻‍♀️✨🙏🏻 @vassar.bsky.social @rhinebeckyoga.bsky.social

Check out this cool work from my superstar student Elie developing a new dimensionality reduction algorithm that compares two conditions! It works on many types of data

I’m giving a book talk at UC Dublin on Thursday (April 20) that covers my research on the NYC water system. I’ll also be working on the new Fulbright research project thanks to meetings with a curator at the National Museum & zooarchaeologists at the university.

Reposting some old pictures for #fluorescencefriday! A pyramidal neuron (violet) & a microglial cell (cyan) labelled with DiI from the prefrontal cortex of a rat brain.

📣 We’re hiring!!! Elliott Albers & I are looking for a research coordinator to help make discoveries about the neuronal mechanisms underlying altered stress responses & social behaviors. Come join a vibrant 🧠research community at GSU in beautiful #Atlanta. Pls share gsu.taleo.net/careersectio...

Thrilled to share our newest work identifying an engram in the infralimbic cortex that contributes to fear generalization. We speculate the engram is encoded during learning and functions to later suppress responding to ambiguous cues.. www.jneurosci.org/content/earl...

🚨 New lab paper!🚨 A dream study of mine for nearly 20 yrs not possible until now thanks to NIH 🧠 funding & 1st-author lead @seeber.bsky.social We tracked hippocampal activity as people walked memory-guided paths & imagined them again. Did brain patterns reappear?🧵👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Who does that? We rented a train JUST for the conference, that will take the participants from Prague to the woods of Bohemia. There'll be talks ON THE TRAIN. In Prague we'll have 5 locations with different atmospheres. #theconferencetoendallconferences Register now: woodstock.img.cas.cz

The University of Puerto Rico has built a strong neuroscience community via federally funded programs. Carmen Maldonado-Vlaar explains how funding cuts threaten minority-serving institutions’ progress toward becoming premier research institutions. www.thetransmitter.org/funding/the-...

We stood up for science today in Topeka! Thanks to the organizers for planning the event so we could stand together in solidarity. #standupforscience @standupforscience.bsky.social

- How do you make your microscope photos? It is a question people ask me a lot. My journey involves processing the brain, preparing the tissue based on specific anatomical targets, incubating antibodies, and making dozens of microscopy slides...an intricate workflow that spans several weeks! (1/2)

Thanks to Cosmopolitan Magazine Netherlands for featuring my lab's research in your Special Edition Work Issue! 🇳🇱 #EmotionalIntelligence protects against burnout. Grateful to have this work shared with others globally! 🌎 #resilience www.cosmopolitan.com/nl/lifestyle... @vassar.bsky.social

Promise myself more microscope time and less internet this week (total fail, thanks Trump). What do I see when I sit to analyze some human brains? A neuron freaking out, just like me. 🔬🧠 #RorschachTest
