Join our team! We're investigating how the visual cortex interacts with subcortical structures like the Superior Colliculus and Basal Ganglia to shape sensory processing and behavior in health and neurobehavioral disorders. 🔬👁️ #NeuroscienceJobs #Neuroresearch @uclnpp

Thanks to @_TheTransmitter for covering UnitMatch: thetransmitter.org/electrophysiol… And no need to worry: the neuron's firing rates are only used for validation, not for tracking itself! ;) Special thanks to co-first Célian Bimbard who made UnitMatch way more efficient and reliable!

Only 7 days left to apply for our postdoc position! Join us in London and dissect the mechanisms of multisensory integration. Unlimited: coffee + rich tea biscuits. Severely limited: enthusiasm for rich tea biscuits. App: shorturl.at/QFTs5 Lab: coen-lab.com

It's #WorldMentalHealthDay today! Support our efforts to improve mental health in academia by completing the SAFE Labs survey. We want Group Leaders to document "available resources to support mental health", but not everyone agrees... do you? forms.office.com/e/XYxs1anhdg

Terrible science communication... Equating publishing with doing science (what about doing science in industry?) and "doing something else" with "quitting". I.e. the assumption is that anybody who ever published something planned to have a career in academia...and many failed.

A historic milestone for neuroscience! It's been a fantastic journey for the #FlyWire Consortium. This special edition of Nature showcases the power of open science, with nine papers that not only describe the fly connectome, but also make discoveries using it.

FFlyWire@FlyWireNews · Oct 2

Big news! The fly connectome is featured on the cover of a special edition of Nature. This is all possible thanks to the collaboration of 292 members of The FlyWire Consortium! nature.com/immersive/d428… Check out the thread for an overview of the 9 #flywire papers published today

UnitMatch tracks neurons across multiple electrophysiological recording sessions. It relies on the spike waveform and allows tracking even when functional properties change such as during memory formation. @EnnyvBeest @MatteoCarandini @kennethd_harris nature.com/articles/s4159…
