I have two open postdoctoral researcher positions in my group. I am looking for applicants with interest and expertise in computational structural biology and research software development. These positions are part of GANANA, a collaborative European/Indian project Check www.uu.nl/en/organisat...

I am deeply grateful for this award, which not only recognizes my work but also reflects the invaluable contributions of my team, mentors, and supporters! It inspires me to continue working with my lab to deepen our understanding of how we perceive and interpret our environment.

Excited to share our new preprint: How does the fly mushroom body support odour categorisation and discrimination? 🧠✨ Dive into Ivy Chan's @ivychanchiwai.bsky.social findings on how neural circuits enable complex olfactory processing in flies. Check it out here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Just giving this a boost for those who may not have seen it yet... we have a PI position (molecular and cellular basis of cognition) at The Hospital for Sick Children (Toronto). The position comes with an appointment at Assist/Assoc Prof level at U of T. Share widely! can-acn.org/scientist-se...

The Image & Optics Facility @ Institute of Science and Technology Austria is expanding it’s image analysis services and has a vacant position for a service oriented *Image Analysis Specialist* with a strong interest for data infrastructure organization🔬🧑‍💻📈 - sharing is much appreciated

"Understanding the molecular diversity of synapses" new review by my boss @erin-schuman.bsky.social and former postdoc @marcvoo.bsky.social out now in Nature Reviews Neuroscience: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Excited to announce the publication of our team's work suggesting a new framework for understanding hashtag#synapse hashtag#development and diversity in the mammalian hashtag#brain in Nature Neuroscience rdcu.be/d2100 🧵

Mix two motors of opposite polarity with microtubules and they will partition space ! Microtubules will get organized in polar and active barriers, sorting the two motors in separated domains, leading to the emergence of a new type of patterns. #morphogenesis doi.org/10.1073/pnas... (1/n)

Starter pack for researchers working with dynein. If I missed you, it’s purely by accident, I promise! Let me know if you'd like to be included, or if you'd rather opt out. go.bsky.app/R9AMk4A

Have you ever wondered how memories are processed downstream of the #hippocampus and how this is affected by #Alzheimer's? We believe we may find some answers by riding all the way down the fornix to the mammillary body. Apply here for a fully-funded #PhD with us: ovgu.b-ite.careers/56yvk

How it started, and how it ended… Honored and happy to receive an ERC Consolidator Grant for our research on amygdala interneurons. The fun part is actually going to start soon, get in touch if you are interested in peptide signalling from interneurons!

#TubulinTuesday!!

Our new study is out on BioRXiv! tinyurl.com/pfcmap We (@carlenlab.bsky.social lab) mapped the mouse PFC using single-unit activity! We recorded ~23,000 neurons across cortical/subcortical regions and profiled spont. firing patterns to reveal what separates the PFC from other brain regions. 1/n

We are interested in all aspects globally connecting the neural crest to evolution, biomedicine and specific sub-field of developmental biology. In this study we show the role of motor circuits in shaping neural crest-derived sympathetic nervous system: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Important paper! www.biorxiv.org/content/bior... Im not sure the Discussion fully delineates its radical implications. No more... * Place cells * Grid cells, splitter cells, border cells * Mirror neurons * Reward neurons * Conflict cells (continued)

My lab University College London is looking for an experimental postdoc to join our team. Interested in circuits underlying visually guided behavior, chronic #Neuropixel recordings or 2-photon imaging (Benchtop, #Mini2p)? Then check out our lab homepage www.ruedigerlab.com, apply & spread the word

I made a MD starter pack! Dm or reply to be added ☺️☺️ go.bsky.app/QQjPjbL

Just In case people need to follow people in neuroscience focused on natural behaviors and the brains of cool non-trad animals! Please join let me know if you wanna be added. go.bsky.app/AcLpM4h

I was listening to @helenajambor.bsky.social in the October FocalPlane Webinar and at minute 27:39 an idea came to my mind. Why not make an interactive publication figure. Here a (still rudimentary) test image for a very simple prototype where all 2 channel combinations of 5 channels can be seen

Probing the mechanical properties of microtubules and actin from inside the cell using magnets 🧲 doi.org/10.1083/jcb.... in @jcellbiol.bsky.social

Time to shine for intermediate filaments! An optogenetic vimentin perturbation strategy reveals its role for ER and mitochondria positioning (but no effect on actin or microtubules patterns) @joycemeiri.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We're extending the deadline to apply to the 2nd Subcortical Sensory Circuits meeting to the 30th! We have amazing speakers, including keynotes Sonja Hofer and Ole Kiehn Subcortical Sensory Circuits: From Perception to Behavior Feb 11-14, 2025 Assisi, Italy meetings.embo.org/event/25-sub...

#Microtubules flow retrogradely in all neurites before axon specification - labeled CAMSAP3 on the right. After axon outgrowth, this retrograde flow slows down - to enable stable axon growth. Could this retrograde flow also exist in #microglia, #astrocytes & #cancer cells? #FluorescenceFriday 🧪 🧠📈

Our paper is published in the latest issue of NEURON. We examined the neural mechanisms involved in learning from the gains and losses of symbolic reinforcers in the ventral frontostriatal circuitry. 🧠 www.cell.com/neuron/abstr...

Dying hair cells

Can I ask you to share a PhD advert at Bristol Uni please? Rhomboid proteases play a role in neurons that is essential for life- but it is not characterised. Got a student interested in cell biology, electrophysiology and neurobiology? Send them our way! tinyurl.com/56f24f7c

Starting a theoretical biophysics starter pack, feel free to (self-) nominate, I’ll keep updating this in the next days/weeks! go.bsky.app/RMF7jUK
