January 1992 in Prague Jan Bureš told me about place cells, and turned me into a scientist. This Perspective reminds us that such neurons don’t respond to stimuli. Network discharge (and knowledge) is internally-organized but interdependent on the world nature.com/articles/s4158…

F Crick proposed synaptic protein interactions maintain memory despite molecular turnover. The Sacktor & Fenton labs with collaborators find postsynaptic scaffold KIBRA and persistent kinase PKMζ interact to maintain LTP and memory for at least 1 month! urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https…

Thrilled that @HannahPaynePhD will join the NYU community as an Asst Prof jointly in @NYU_CNS and @NYUPsych! Will be awesome to see her investigations of one-shot episodic memory mechanisms by exploiting the neurophysiology of active vision and food caching memories in chickadees

Job Alert!💥 Join our integrative neuroscience working across levels of biology in single subject data sets. @SteMartiniani & I develop multiscale #ML approaches to reveal the biomolecular networks responsible for memory storage and persistence in brain jobrxiv.org/job/new-york-u…

Been years since my last post - here’s big news… Excited to announce that @StephenXZhang will join the community of our CNS faculty @NYU_CNS to launch his independent research program! Ready to support and collaborate to help Stephen discover rules of biomolecular computation!

Today I spoke up at a #FENS2022 discussion event about pandemic effects on mentoring. I spoke about my frustration regarding transmission mitigation at the meeting. I sorta highjacked the discussion and I'm sorry about that, but I just couldn't not say anything and 1/n

Excited for our new colleague Alex Williams @ItsNeuronal, the progress he’s making on fundamental problems, and how our community is growing at @NYU_CNS. We are hiring - join and belong

Hah! I remain petty - Now many may know who is Kaminsky! He’s a wonderful and rare soul! Folks check out the failures channel - for inspiration if nothing else!!

What can learning to focus do for your brain? @ain_chung @cg_jou @DinoDvorak @EliottLevy @AlexGrau92 and Nida, an intrepid team of hero neurobiologists focused on finding out. We followed the data that surprised at almost every turn. Proud of y'all rdcu.be/cBayM

Credit goes to Megan Hagenauer. Maybe during the discussion, she'll tell the incredible story of the trials and tribulations it took to get it here. Proud to be a part of of it. Come join us for some stories of absurdity, humor, stress, pathos... and failure. #SfN21

A02 - 50th Storytelling Session - Oh Sh*t - Great Scientists Tell Stories About Their Greatest Failures - How did I agree to this? Never thought I would shout out loud, much less in Twitter "Hey everybody, come find out how I screwed up, really pretty bad!" (very personal story)

This is a pure career accelerant! The program is all about giving opportunity for early career scientists to find their research stride and launch their independence. You can’t get the benefits if you don’t apply! Families embraced!!

1-wk late to the party, but here now! I got together in zoom and google docs with @KamranKhodakhah @annmclemens to figure out helpful advice we wish we had and would share with our younger aspiring selves and y'all! Navigating clues to success in academia cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

Super cool and creative neuroscience with a super cool creative new PI

Thank you @sjo09 for the humor and leadership. I’m excited for all that it we will be, all that we will be able to do - Neuroscience 2021: Interdisciplinary, Innovative, Inclusive youtu.be/-r4_lBvpckw via @YouTube

Trains in the brain: @NYU_CNS's @aa_fenton discovers how neural activity gets railroaded nyu.edu/about/news-pub…

Dentate spikes and external control of hippocampal function sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Proud of this work and all that @DinoDvorak has done. He's moved on to a key role at Gilgamesh Pharmaceuticals. This has been a fascinating story to work out over the years. Fmr1-null mice next
