If you're at SfN, don't forget about the BRAIN Toolmakers Showcase tonight! This is always a fun opportunity to learn about new technologies and network.

Not long after I started my lab, a prominent scientist told me it was “impossible” to be a successful PI and a mother

Don’t ever let the naysayers tell you it can’t be done - of course it can!

#HappyMothersDay this weekend to all the amazing scientist mamas raising their wonderful kids 🥰

If I could just keep the stress exercising w/out the stress eating & drinking that would be really great….

My PhD project is out as a preprint!
We combined 2P and synchrotron X-ray to understand mouse olfactory bulb circuits, linking physiology to structure in 3 animals!

#preprint:

We mapped the structure and function of olfactory bulb circuits with in vivo 2-photon microscopy and synchrotron #Xray holographic nanotomography.

There is a version of this in every single interaction with another local in DC..."has your job been affected?" Acquaintances in any field. Neighbors. The people in line at the coffee shop.
My HAIRDRESSER asked me this.

Anyone with a web browser can use MICrONS Explorer to visualize segments of the 120,000 cells packed into the cubic millimeter of mouse cortex—a specimen roughly the size of a sharp pencil point.

It's been done for a while, accepted almost a year ago, but I'm happy to share that my first analysis of the MICrONs cubic mm dataset is online! nature.com/articles/s41...

How does the brain work?

Scientists are closer to the answer with the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date. 🧵

I know there's a 𝒍𝒐𝒕 going on right now, but I couldn’t be prouder to share this long-incubated labor of love: the complete connectome of the male 𝐷𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑜𝑝ℎ𝑖𝑙𝑎 optic lobe 🧠🪰

Advances in neuroscience have yielded massive, rich datasets from various analysis techniques and modalities. 🧠📈

In a @natureneuro.bsky.social perspective, researchers underscore the importance of an integrative approach to render a more complete picture of the brain.

Single-cell approaches are already shedding light on the human brain, identifying cell types that are vulnerable in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease, for example, write Ed Lein and @hongkuizeng.bsky.social in The Transmitter's human neurotech series.

Here's my #FluorescenceFriday, an experiment I messed up 😁. I was attempting to identify neurons (cell body, nuclei) and glial cells (microglia, astrocytes), but I accidentally mixed up the antibodies for astrocytes and neuronal nuclei, resulting in both having the same color 🌕. A pretty mistake?

A relevant perspective piece was recently published by my colleagues at NIH: Continuing trial responsibilities for implantable neural devices pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37582365/
