Hello everyone, this is the account of the Center for Translational Neurophysiology of the Italian Institute of Technology.
As you can see in our header photo, we are housed in a beautiful 1501 building of the #University of #Ferrara
We do #Neuroscience and we build brain-machine interfaces (#BMI) based on organic #bioelectronics.
We will post about #Jobs , #grants , #papers and other #science -related things!
Please #follow !!

A very important point: interviews are an exchange of information.
A highly asymmetric one, no doubt. But still, they're an opportunity to get valuable information about a potential employer.
"I once encountered major red flags during a job interview. Every question the interviewer asked evoked in me a sense of anger and irritation, because every question degraded and devalued my expertise. He acted as though I wasn’t cut out for the job, even though I had 20 years of knowledge, skills, and networks that proved otherwise. The more I pushed to convince him of my professional qualifications, the more I felt minimized."

“It sounds so idealistic, but it is why you go into a job like that,” said Dr. Seema Yasmin, director of the Stanford Health Communication Initiative at Stanford University and an alumna of the E.I.S.
“It’s not for glory, and certainly not for money,” she added.
But the arrival of the pandemic laid to rest those illusions. The first big shock came in February 2020, when the Trump administration reprimanded Dr. Nancy Messonnier, a senior C.D.C. official, for warning Americans to prepare for a pandemic.'

"In this issue of the JCI, Bedard et al. demonstrate that 1-tuberculosinyladenosine, a virulence factor produced by M. tuberculosis, caused lysosomal dysfunction associated with lipid storage in the phagolysosome of macrophages in a manner that mimicked lysosomal storage diseases."

Had some fun and wrote a post about the different types of neuroscientists I've seen.

Such results suggest that there just may be a gaping hole in our current knowledge of flaviviruses.
Specifically, a gaping hole representing an untold number of unrecognized persistent brain infections — that simply can not be detected with currently available clinical technology.

6 senior + 6 tenure-track faculty positions open at Johns Hopkins in #neuroscience: https://jobs.sciencecareers.org/job/641252/assistant-professor-of-neuroscience
Let's hope many insect neuroscientists working in #Drosophila, #mosquito and other critters apply.
Contact Chris Potter of #Anopheles mosquito research fame http://potterlab.johnshopkins.edu/ for an insider view of how it is to run an insect neuro lab there.

"The structure and function of neural connectomes are shaped by a small number of design principles", by Haber, Wanner, Friedrich, Schneidman, 2023 https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.03.15.532611v1
"we learn probabilistic generative models for the connectomes of the olfactory bulb of zebrafish, part of the mouse visual cortex, and of C. elegans. We show that, in all cases, models that rely on a surprisingly small number of simple biological and physical features are highly accurate in replicating a wide range of properties of the measured circuits."
"we simulate synthetic circuits generated by our model for the olfactory bulb of zebrafish and show that they replicate the computation that the real circuit performs in response to olfactory cues."

"Current methodologies for tracking the behaviour of specific lymphocytes identify clones of a defined antigen-receptor - antigen binding affinity. However, lymphocytes can receive antigenic signals from undefined or endogenous antigens, and the strength of each signal, even for the same lymphocyte, varies with accessory signalling, across tissues and across time. We present a novel fate-mapping mouse, that, by tracking lymphocyte clones and their progenies from induced antigen signals, overcomes these hurdles and provides novel insights into the maintenance of tissue homeostasis."

"Scientists, clinicians and medical technologists in LMICs need to be empowered to design, maintain and build low-cost MRI systems on site6. And to do so, they need access to open-source hardware and software, in line with the United Nations’ 2020 Roadmap for Digital Cooperation, which stresses the need for digital inclusion for all, and for building architectures for digital cooperation."
