I now believe in the healing power of cat photos

This sweet cat has made it her mission to help me recover quickly from a surgery. Meanwhile I get access to some cat sleeping behavior and purring rhythms :)

Thanks for the recommendation. Splendid weekend treat!

I love Figure 2! The figures in this paper are an inspiration for good data visualization practices!

Running speed and REM sleep control two distinct modes of rapid interhemispheric communication Gamma-rhythmic communication within and across cortical hemispheres is critical for optimal perception, navigation, and memory. Here, Ghosh et al. identify even faster ∼140 Hz rhythms, named splines, ...

Every once in a while I pause my human MTL research to admire the graphical abstract and the pretty fascinating retrosplenial cortex with in-phase and anti-phase fast rhythms in the same theta cycle! @earlkmiller.bsky.social What do you think about this? www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Looking forward to your updates about your key take-aways from the talks!

Of all the amazing things that I've heard these past 2 days, I want to amplify this one in hopes that if there is a trainee out there that needs to hear this, it will reach them.

Viviana is among the best minds of this era. Her story is telling. She said (and I endorse):

This is so cool! Congrats and thanks for the interesting results!

Thank you for sharing! This is an amazing workshop and I am learning so much!

I see a lot of women hesitant to post about their wins these days. I don't know any of them, but their success stories make me happy and I shout a silent "You go girl". Please keep posting!

Wow this is cool 🧠🫀

Excited to share our preprint led by Ain Chung
& @jasonalipio.bsky.social showing how immature adult-born DGCs preferentially recruit inhibition of CA2 and CA3 to disproportionately affect hippocampal network properties and social memory. We began by asking 1/n

Neoteny maybe a compensatory mechanism to offset decline in neurogenesis in the human brain.

Re-posting is appreciated: We have a fully funded PhD position in CMC lab @cmc-lab.bsky.social (at @tudresden_de). You can use forms.gle/qiAv5NZ871kv... to send your application and find more information. Deadline is April 30. Find more about CMC lab: cmclab.org and email me if you have questions.

So a former postdoc from our department had just started as a PO at NIH and was terminated in the wave of terminations last week. He is in the research triangle and a phenomenal scientist with expertise in stress and glia. If anyone in the RTI is hiring asap please let me know! #neuroskyence

ATTENTION (PLEASE SHARE)

If anyone has or knows of any positions that might be appropriate for the NIH staff members who were terminated, please post the information in this thread.

There are lots of talented and accomplished people who may be looking for new opportunities.

In honor of today’s International Day of Women and Girls in Science, The Transmitter spoke with eight women neuroscientists leading initiatives that strive to promote women in the field.

I wish there was a way to quantify the collective amount of work lost due to stress and despair over the last few weeks, independent of barriers to funding.

I know this site only reaches a subset of neuro/ cog professors. If you know a young professor in the area who would benefit from a week of targeted learning about doing good science, good mentoring, networking etc, it would be great if you could forward them: compneurosci.com/Neuro4Pros/i...

Absolutely love the clickbait-y description. Spot on!

Our Cosyne Abstract accepted for a poster! Excited about attending Cosyne for the first time and presenting our work on “Hierarchical and distributed systems of language comprehension and learning in the human brain”. Received helpful reviewer comments. Happy Holidays 😁

What do people think would be a good definition of context from the POV of the brain?

- Wrestling with unwieldy HPC job scripts?
- Spending hours converting between file formats?
- Missing critical visualisation tools?

Just wanted to say that I absolutely love the term "neurosmiths" ! I am so tempted to use it at every possible opportunity :)

And it’s started again-that constant dread. I have non-refundable tickets booked months in advance. Should I spend a fortune just to get back 2 days prior?

Congratulations!!

Would you say that having the potential to do great things should be ranked higher? Or should there be no rank order of these (or any) attributes?

I think I share the sentiment that it takes time to recover from a PhD, though maybe not quite as much as 2-3 years. www.reddit.com/r/postdoc/s/...
