Freiburg: 3. Demo gegen Rechts in 5 Tagen - mind. 25000 Teilnehmer!

Each scientific paper should come with a special section “all that failed beforehand”.

Sometimes I think about all the knowledge lost and the time waisted because we are not doing that… (yet) 😣

#Academia #Neuroscience but also all other types of #Research

Work in progress, but beautiful anyway; EPG neurons in the PB of a tropical bee - moving closer towards comparative connectomics. @ERC_Research

#Introduction Greetings! I'm Lydia, a *coughing noises* year grad student in neuroscience. My background was originally protein chemistry, and I've done some work with machine learning and recurrent neural networks. Now I make connectome-based models of neural activity in Drosophila

I love solving problems through collective learning (and collective learning is a joy in itself regardless of whether problems get solved). I'm interested in meeting anti-imperialist, anticolonial, and/or anti-ableist academics. Let's gooo

Distinct information conveyed to the olfactory bulb by feedforward input from the nose and feedback from the cortex biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20

Distinct information conveyed to the olfactory bulb by feedforward input from the nose and feedback from the cortex

Sensory systems are organized hierarchically, but feedback projections frequently disrupt this order. In the olfactory bulb (OB), cortical feedback projections numerically match sensory inputs. To unravel information carried by these two streams, we imaged the activity of olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) and cortical axons in the mouse OB using calcium indicators, multiphoton microscopy, and diverse olfactory stimuli. Odorant mixtures of increasing complexity evoked progressively denser OSN activity, yet cortical feedback activity was of similar sparsity for all stimuli. Representations of complex mixtures were similar in OSNs but were decorrelated in cortical axons. While OSN responses to increasing odorant concentrations exhibited a sigmoidal relationship, cortical axonal responses were complex and non-monotonic, which could be explained by a model with activity-dependent feedback inhibition in the cortex. Our study indicates that early-stage olfactory circuits have access to both local feedforward signals and global, efficiently formatted information about odor scenes through cortical feedback. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.

#Evolution of #Olfaction:
Interesting new paper from @MPI_CE (@silkesachse and others)

They show different developments in the genus #Drosophila at multiple levels from reception to behaviour.

I'm quite happy with my current job, but if I was considering universities in the Netherlands, Utrecht is winning

"Utrecht University chose not to be included on the Times Higher Education rankings"

"According to Utrecht University, the rankings place “too much emphasis on scoring and competition,” while the university says it considers collaboration and openness of scientific research to be more important."

My wife has been pretty active in filling our yard with native plants and pollinators and she was able to catch this amazing video of a monarch in the garden. Hope this brings a smile to someone this weekend! 😀
