🧪 The Sjöström Lab in Montreal is looking for a postdoc! We study cortical circuits, synaptic plasticity, and NMDAR signalling using custom 2-photon microscopy and optogenetics. We seek candidates with strong patch-clamp and/or 2-photon imaging expertise, and a relevant publication track record.

Anyone looking for a PhD in NeuroAI (models of the visual system to spatial system)? @amansaleem.bsky.social and I are looking for someone to start in October. More details here: www.findaphd.com/phds/project... Get in touch with either of us if you’ve got questions!

This was a difficult thread to write.. Our research on antidepressants has been supported by NIMH for 10 years. Until the last moment, their comms team was still trying to put out a press piece about this work for us. I’m so sorry.

Interesting work by Tony Lien & @haiderlab.bsky.social. They reveal how some frontal cortex neurons mirrors V1 neurons. Responses lag visual cortex (VC) by ~25ms, with strikingly similar receptive fields—yet lacking a topographic map. Crucially, silencing VC abolishes these responses. Congrats

Lateral inhibition from parvalbumin neurons in mouse primary visual cortex reduces sensitivity to contrast; lateral inhibition from somatostatin neurons changes the gain of contrast sensitivity 🧪🧠 @haiderlab.bsky.social @gtresearchnews.bsky.social s.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Congratulations to these two outstanding physician-neuroscientists! Many people now are familiar with the fascinating fundamental research of @michellemonje.bsky.social but most people probably don't know she is a truly great physician. I'm fortunate to be inspired by her every day, in every way.

(1/10) Happy to share a science update! 🧠🧪 Our @natureneuro.bsky.social article shows how inhibitory neurons calculate “subtraction” or “division” to adjust visual sensitivity! This one has it all – behavior, optogenetics, modeling, cell types, subthreshold mechanisms. Quick thread 🧵below

I am very proud to announce that my PhD paper finally came out in Cell! In this very collaborative study, we develop and release a deep-learning approach to predict neuron type identity from their electrical signature. doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... 1/16 🧵

Our paper @dulaclab.bsky.social on social homeostasis is online today! We characterized “social rebound” behavior after social isolation in multiple mouse strains and revealed its neural basis. Intriguingly, soft touch plays a key role in satisfying social need! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New paper alert! Have you ever looked at single-trial fMRI activation maps? If so, you know that they are super variable. Here we show that the variability is not just noise. In fact, the same task can consistently elicit different activation patterns. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Great explainer on the Federal Register block and how it affects all NIH grant-related activities 👇

submitted 85 days ago • 0 comments

If the block on the Federal Register isn’t removed in the next few months, I fear a majority of labs will close within a year. This small procedural wrench has the power to kill US science indefinitely, losing an entire generation of discovery and innovation.

In case folks are interested in contacting their congresspeople about the NIH indirect cuts with some estimates of what they would mean for institutions in their state, here are some estimates based on published F&A rates and funding ... let me know if you want a particular state

'The appropriations committees in both houses rejected Mr. Trump’s proposal to slash payments to universities for overhead — the “indirect costs” of research financed by the health institutes.' Had forgotten about this. Let's see how much has really changed in the past 8 years. (Yes, hopes not up)
