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
- bOoOoO mAStOdOn iS sO hARd

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 rates🧵👇1/15

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.
