Hi All #Introduction
I'm Tanja, also a recent Twitter migrant ..
I'm a biologist with a focus on neuroscience. In my postdoc in Ole Paulsen's lab (Neuronal Oscillation Group) at Cambridge University (UK) I investigate the role of neuromodulators on synaptic plasticity and memory.
I also like filming stuff and 3D animation, so will occasionally post science videos here, in addition to other science-related posts.
Looking forward to meeting you all here!

Another bump update in the @FijiSc@twitter.com training notes and resources is now available. Now with labkit segmentation, 3D anlaysis of cells and branching structures in 2D and 3D (see comments for details).

Visual cortex is affected by sounds. Does this mean it is multisensory? Does it represent sounds?
Today in Nature #Neuroscience (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41593-022-01227-x) Célian Bimbard and team find otherwise.
Sound-evoked activity in visual cortex was similar across neurons. Even neurons in hippocampus. It persisted after we cut fibers from auditory cortex!
This activity was predicted by… subtle body movements evoked by the sounds. It reflects brainwide state and behavior signals.

Our work on post-encoding memory reactivation is finally out in @JOCN_Journal@twitter.com: http://direct.mit.edu/jocn/article-abstract/doi/10.1162/jocn_a_01934/113587/Post-encoding-Reactivation-Is-Related-to-Learning/
A huge thanks to all my co-authers: Xavi, @aya_benya@twitter.com, @BStaresina@twitter.com and @llfuentemilla@twitter.com, and also the reviewers who helped improve the paper to its final format!
For reference, the average low temperature for Cambridge (UK) in January is ~2C and happens around 6-7 AM. We are 11 degrees Celsius above the average minimum temperature.

What will happen if we’ll RETHINK our street corners?
We'll realize that until now, we've made them too car-centric. Street corners are designed for fast driving, which means pedestrians have to risk their safety just to cross the street.
But if we’ll rethink our street corners we’ll get
■ More space for pedestrians
■ Shorter crossing distance and time
■ Greener spaces
■ Safer Streets
■ Beautiful street corners
A great example from PGAA Creative Design in Manila
When you’re three months into that side project you said would take a weekend.

It's been great meeting with postdocs about the faculty position application process! Put together some collected thoughts on the process here. Main thing I've noticed: work on describing your research and *why it's important*. Concrete examples within.

What's the carbon footprint of a Christmas tree? I don't know, but for those lucky enough to have a garden there is a carbon-negative alternative: a living Christmas tree!
A few years ago I planted a tiny Tannenbaum which has been eagerly growing ever since. For a few days every year It seems to enjoy the outfit.
Inhibition of synaptic transmission by blocking postsynaptic receptors results in the homeostatic plasticity, whereby enhanced transmitter release at the presynaptic terminal occurs over a fairly rapid time course without involving gene expression. This study elucidates the intracellular signaling cascade at the presynaptic terminal.
(3/3) Based on this finding we formulated a new learning rule and found that it adds specificity to reinforcement learning by controlling memory allocation in the #network.
(2/3) The video abstract shows what we think happens (rather than how it happens). We found that burst + dopamine acts on a molecular coincidence
detector AC1/8. To find out more about the underlying signalling pathway please read our paper

Welcome new Twitter migrators!
Somewhat new myself. Some insights you might appreciate:
➡️ It only appears “dead” here as long as you don’t follow a couple hundred people. Just follow, follow, follow… you can later be more selective!
➡️ There is no “algorithm” deciding what you see, so you need to boost toots to give them traction.
➡️ “Liking” is less of a thing here, so don’t be discouraged.
➡️ Ppl describe the content of attached images. I love this! It gives extra depth to your toot! See 👇👇👇
#NewUsers now above 5000 per hour.
We are now higher than last week's rate. Mastodon is managing this surge so far. Some servers are lagging. Please be patient as systems administrators manage the situation. It may get worse given the Twitter news.

Worried about how your reviewed preprints can contribute to funding, grant and job applications?
Today, we're pleased to announce some of the funders and research organisations embracing reviewed preprints as an alternative way to assess researchers: https://elifesciences.org/for-the-press/e5423e39/funders-support-use-of-reviewed-preprints-in-research-assessment?utm_source=linkedin&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic
New paper shows (as many papers before) that code that is shared will often not run. This is to be expected - few of us had training in this. But if you share code, go through checklists to prevent the most common mistakes. From the paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-022-01143-6 For some extra suggestions, see my textbook chapter on computational reproducibility: https://lakens.github.io/statistical_inferences/computationalreproducibility.html#some-points-for-improvement-in-computational-reproducibility
