Gude, hallo & hello! The Ernst Strüngmann Institute (ESI) for #Neuroscience #Frankfurt just joined the platform #neuhier It is our mission to perform excellent fundamental #brainresearch. Join us on our journey to find out how the many parts of the #brain work together to bring about our #behaviour

Cool new paper from Zador Lab:

Spent my day preparing for my 6 (!) presentations at #SfN22! Come visit me and say hello if you're also attending!

This seems like a step improvement in 2-photon microscopy

Spencer has a nice thread on it on Twitter (I don't think he's on Mastodon yet?): https://mobile.twitter.com/Labrigger/status/1589471340356333568

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.

@martin_a_vinck @NeuroVenki Definitely... And that's understandable for those who made a lot of effort to build a large flock of followers.

Well let’s do another round of #introduction then! Hi, I’m a Prof at the Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging (CCNi), UofG, Scotland, studying human memory. My lab uses a range of tools, including behaviour, EEG/MEG, fMRI and intracranial (single unit + LFP) EEG recordings, trying to understand how the human brain reconstructs past experiences from memory, how it forgets, and how our memories change over time and when we repeatedly remember something.

#introduction

i'm adam

I used to study the neuroscience of animal behavior in academia

now I work on building a neural interface at Meta Reality Labs

I've also been accused of studying punctuation

Neuroscientists
- literally do brain surgery
- perform complex analyses of high-dimensional neurophysiology data
- code in MedState notation
- get mice to bury marbles

This looks great!

Excited to share our new preprint w. Giorgos Spyropoulos, @Mars_Schneider, Thiele Lab. We contrast — in & — the physiological relevance and mechanisms underlying two effects of attention: 1. enhanced inter-areal coherence & 2. firing rates1/15

Proposed model: {number of followers on Tw1tter} = 1 / {enthusiasm for #Mastodon}.

#introduction

I am researcher working at the interface of artificial intelligence and neuroscience. I really wear two hats.

I work at Meta Reality Labs, thinking about neuromotor neural interfaces.

I am also an adjunct professor at Stanford, where I think about neural dynamics and how they give rise to computation and behavior.

Are you attending Society for #neuroscience next week?

Come to SFN Banter!

A whole bar with open air space has been reserved by two great trainees who singlehandedly corralled the financial support of many great scientific vendors.

#sfnbanter22 will be at Sidebar (536 Market Street) on Monday 11/14 during #SfN2022 starting at 9pm!

Now more than ever, we got a lot to Banter about!
moving to Mastodon
staying on Twits
starting our own social media site MarbleBurying dot com

We are looking for postdocs! (1) To study how brainwide neuronal activity supports diverse behaviors (w Kenneth Harris); (2) To relate the activity of a neuron to its pre- and postsynaptic neurons across cortex (w Alipasha Vaziri and Federico Rossi). https://tinyurl.com/CortexlabPostdoc

Since everybody is doing their #introduction ...

I'm a professor of #neurogenetics at University of Regensburg in Germany. In our lab, we do #neuroscience research on spontaneous behavior and learning from the consequences of such behavior: operant learning.

I've also been involved in infrastructure modernization towards #OpenScience for some time now, advocating to finally replace 17th century scholarly journals with 21st century technology.

Here's an updated #introduction to include useful hashtags!

I'm a scientific editor at Life Science Editors, previously editor-in-chief at Cell Reports and then associate editorial director at PLOS.
