🚨 PhD alert! IMPRS brain & behavior in Bonn just opened their calls for applications. Great PhD funding opportunities. Check it out! PS- I just joined their faculty, meaning you could do a rotation in my lab or even a PhD with me on spider sleep 🙃 Apply! 🚨

Now out in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social: PV and SOM cells play distinct causal roles in controlling network oscillations and stability

Pocket Negroni? Let the weekend begin.

Firing rates in visual cortex show representational drift, while temporal spike sequences remain stable

Great work by Boris Sotomayor and with @battaglialab.bsky.social

Kilosort4 detects a LOT of neurons, I recorded 15k neurons in one year 🤯 Traditionally, one would curate these detected units to see if they are well isolated single neurons. This is not feasible anymore, so today let's look at three options that are out there to automate this process! 🤖👇

Happy to see this study led by Irene Onorato finally out - we show distinct phase locking and spike timing of optotagged PV cells and Sst interneuron subtypes during gamma oscillations in mouse visual cortex, suggesting an update to the classic PING model www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🚨Preprint Alert

New work with @martinavinck.bsky.social

We elucidate the architectural bias that enables CNNs to predict early visual cortex responses in macaques and humans even without optimization of convolutional kernels.

Merry Christmas to all

Happy holidays! #microscopy #neurons

Neuroscience students asked us to teach a PRACTICAL course on experimental methods, and it is now on YouTube!

Please like and repost to help us get the word out!

Lecture 1: Signals and data acquisition
Focusing on hardware, digital/analog I/O, synchronization
🧵

I made a systems neuroscience starter pack, focused on experimentalists who study the brain at the level of populations of neurons!

Also want to be on the list? Reply or DM me a picture of your ephys rig or 2p setup and I'll add you 🤭

Ok, so I wanted to try my hand at building a starter pack too :-). This pack includes developers of tools and methods for electrophysiology (focused on extracellular recordings). Please let me know if I missed anyone! Also, we need more people from X to switch to fill this out!

Today we protest to support the future of the Netherlands. with more than 20.000 people we say 'Stop the cuts to science and science education!' #woinactie #dja
