It has been an absolute joy to be part of this exciting collaboration. Thank you Sam Sober and
#simonsfoundation for the opportunity and for bringing together this wonderful group of colleagues and friends. Check out the 🤯 EMG recordings: https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.02.21.529200

Are there any #Electrophysiologists out there who record raw data on many channels, and would share their secrets for not having to buy additional hard drives every month? One 20 min session = 20Gb 😅​

Basically: what is your data management system? 🙏​

#Electrophysiology #data

Serious question: with the ability to use effectively as many characters as we want, is there still a benefit of breaking longer toots in to threads?

Friends of the #learningSalon, start the year off right & join us
📢 📢
Fri Jan 13th
4 PM ET
Myself, John Krakauer, @melaniemitchell & Claire Sun are excited to chat with
📢 Anne Collins 📢
about RL and working memory!

* The #LearningSalon is an online interdisciplinary forum, with brief talks & 2-hour discussions on #neuroscience #AI #psychology #philosophy

What are your favorite recent papers on *memory and space* in #neuroscience #computational #neuroAI #psychology #AI #behavioral fields?

I am going to present on mastodon to our department next week. Does anyone have a slide deck about mastodon and the fediverse work that I could use so I don't have to reinvent the wheel?

Applications are open for the 2023

New #introduction for neuromatch.social 🙂​

My group investigates and defines cell types and neural circuits of the #thalamus, #hippocampus, and #cortex that contribute to spatial #memory processes.
These processes break down in #Alzheimer's disease. To understand the causes/triggers of #neurodegeneration, we study early-stage #Tau #pathology in the human #brain and in mouse models.

I previously defined various types of retinal ganglion cells using ex vivo #patchclamp recordings during my PhD in #Basel, before moving to #Oxford to work on #GABAergic #neurons of the #hippocampus, followed by the #medialseptum. My favourite technique is in vivo #extracellular recordings and #juxtacellular labelling as it enables identification of single #cells based on their firing patterns, #axon terminal distribution, and #neurochemical profile.

As an #experimentalist, my expertise is primarily in vivo #neurophysiology and #neuroanatomy. I am also interested in #consciousness, the origins of #memory, and regulation of #neuronal activity and #behaviour by #neuropeptides.

#neuroscience folks: need examples in nervous systems of a bowtie architecture - in signaling pathways (e.g., calcium signaling) where a ton of inputs go into a fairly small central core and then a ton of outputs fan out. Are there any neural structures that work like that? non-neural examples:

https://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16916470
http://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19142232
Anything like that, structurally, in biological nervous systems?
