Hello! A brief #introduction - I am an Asst Prof at Bocconi University (Italy) doing research in theoretical #neuroscience. My main interests are related to sensory representations: what are the underlying circuit mechanisms? how are they modulated by movement? what computational benefits do they provide? I combine theoretical modeling and data analysis. Lately, I have also been interested in integrating #connectomics in network modeling.

Go vote! (for local elections, and for the party that wants the government to work to help people and isn’t planning on how to hold the government hostage to cut social security and medicare). You get democracy (pretty great!) and stickers (important for almost-2-year olds!)

i voted (2 weeks ago)! It's a uniquely important election in the state of Washington this year, as we try to re-elect Patty Murray (not yet on Mastodon), one of the strongest advocates for environmental conservation and climate change legislation in the Senate.

Are you in the U.S.? get out to vote today. Your vote matters, and could even help swing a race. In just one example, the election in our congressional district came down to *SIX VOTES* in the last election.

Reminder for those in the US to vote today!
You can look up your polling location and sample ballot here: https://www.vote.org/ .
20 states + DC allow you to register and vote at the same time: https://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/same-day-registration.aspx
Bonus! You get a sticker. My county has stickers with a cow and grapes and Dulles airport and an artichoke (I think??)!
Don't forget to bring your iD!

#introduction #NeuroscienceMigration
I am a neuroscientist with the CNRS in Paris, France. In the lab we use 2-photon imaging and neuropixel recordings with simple animal behavior paradigms (e.g. https://bit.ly/3GmXWeX ) to investigate how networks of neurons in the cerebellum and the motor cortex collaborate to overcome sensorimotor perturbations.

If you'll be in San Diego for SFN, you can swing by our poster: https://www.abstractsonline.com/pp8/#!/10619/presentation/70225

Time for an #introduction. Nervous systems — yours, mine, those of mice, fish, and insects and worms — are made up of populations of different kinds of neurons that communicate with one another. Current electron microscopy generates millimeter-scale volumes with the morphology and synaptic connectivity of up to 10^5 neurons. As a scientist at the Allen Institute, I am mapping out the cell types and connectivity rules found in cortex and building computational tools to help others do the same.

Hi all, I'm a postdoc in the @debivort lab studying individuality in Drosophila, with a particular interest in how it evolves over time and looking for circuit correlates of behavioral preference. Mostly lurked on twitter except when I had science to promote, but interested to see how things work here!

#introduction
Hi everyone,
I am Nila. I am a neuroscientist & currently a Postdoc in Rainer Friedrich's lab at FMI. I study the circuit of the olfactory bulb in the adult zebrafish using a connectomic approach. Recently I have been a bit sidetracked by telencephalic temptations...

I am here to keep up to date and exchange with the scientific community. But I love to have my mind blown by anything nature. So, I am hoping to learn many fun facts outside of my horizons (& to see many beautiful images as well).
I am a first-gen academic which has sometimes been a struggle (mostly in my mind). Topics of open access, social mobility & justice are important to me, and I do have to learn a lot there.
Parenting 3 little humans doesn't leave much energy for hobbies but running is my lifeline.

Hi Mastodon! Another migrating neurobiologist here - I’m a sensory neuroscience postdoc at Cornell University working on optimizing functional imaging of #brainstem circuits using #multiphoton #microscopy in awake, behaving mice.
Looking forward to the new chapter here!
