Check out my latest work with @AMMmatheson on the circuits controlling goal-directed navigation in flies!

How do animals navigate to goals in their environments? In the Nagel lab’s latest pre-print @ajlanz2 and I explore how the brain locates the most important goal, food. We identify a neural circuit for wind-guided olfactory navigation in Drosophila. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Applying to PhD programs in neuroscience this cycle and interested in NYU? Current students are happy to help take a look at your app and offer advice! Sign-up here for the 2024 edition of the NYU Neuroscience Application Support Group! forms.gle/DnzEg6ELscXQn1…


Come check out my poster at #SfN24! I'm looking at a recurrent network in flies that uses slow excitation and fast inhibition to generate persistent activity for goal directed navigation: M12 on Oct 6, 8am-12pm

We are looking for a postdoc to lead a new project in olfactory diagnostics: can we detect human diseases using the mammalian olfactory system as supersensitive, broadband chemical detector? A lot of imaging, data analysis and gas chromatography…. rinberglab.com/positions

Hypothalamic CRH neurons remember the good and the bad … and they do it their own way! Amazing persistence by Tamás Füzesi and great teamwork. Also a huge thanks to Wilten Nicola! nature.com/articles/s4146…

🔥 How does the brain select what to remember? Our new work sheds light on the brain's mechanism for memory selection, uncovering a relationship between awake and sleep replays. Come check our Buzsaki lab poster at on Nov 12th (1PM-5PM EST)! Bord #SS17, PSTR174.13 1/

How does microstimulation of cortex, which at best targets specific areas, reliably produce natural percepts? In the latest @CurrentBiology, @RPancholi19 shows that optical microstimulation of barrel cortex engages natural sensory populations. doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.…

Seizures are just hyperexcitability, right? Think again! Inhibition is everywhere in the brain, but how does it change during a seizure? We re-imagined a new approach to assay neuronal excitability using all-optical interrogation in vivo. Check it out! 👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New computational modelling of CRH neurons recently published in @JPhysiol We combined electrophysiology and computational approaches to examine membrane dynamics of CRH neurons and found two subtypes of these cells. Just don't ask me about the math! physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/JP…

Last day of twitter? Read “The Case of the Missing Map,” feat. amazing @dena_goldblatt! Dena’s sleuthing uncovered: a map of balance neurons🤯 that emerges in time not space 🤯🤯 & taught us how to build brain circuits 🤯🤯🤯 Plus, a poll at the end! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Are you stressing about applications to neuroscience PhD programs? Been there... If you’re applying to NYU, students have organized a program to review your app with you before you submit and give general advice/feedback! More info and sign-up form below👇🏽 forms.gle/yFS6skVJi9jFz4…

Congrats to @TinaVoelcker on her paper! Tina looked at how mouse vS1 whisker representations change from L4 to L2. In L4, touch responses are probabilistic and distributed over many neurons; by L2, 1% of cells account for half the touch response. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Know how most tweeprints are victory laps? Like “You won’t believe this one weird set of facts! God I hope my reviewers do!” Not this time. Let’s do an Overly Honest Tweeprint* to see how rockstar @kylahamling’s latest came to be. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/13 * w/receipts
