Do you think that the canonical cortical circuit is complicated? It's so much worse than that! Overlayed on top of the wired connectome, there are *18* different signal-carrying peptides in cortex! Their range is ~similar to the size of a cortical column elifesciences.org/articles/47889 1/

Thrilled to see this out! It was such a rewarding collaboration with Alex Wang, @jess-cardin.bsky.social, and an amazing team. We show that V1 SST interneurons integrate on a delayed developmental timeline, shaping how visual cortex processes and normalizes sensory input.

A wild ride through the postnatal maturation of SST interneurons! Alex Wang and @katie-ferguson.bsky.social found that V1 SST cells exhibit a unique developmental trajectory, coming online over a few days after eyes open. www.nature.com/articles/s41... @yaleneuro.bsky.social @wutsaiyale.bsky.social

And a Canadian to boot! 🎉

Wow. The first woman to receive tenure in Physics at Harvard dropped out of high school to form an alternative school with friends and later codiscovered the top quark and Higgs boson. (And psst: she supports PhD students & loves books).💙 www.physics.harvard.edu/people/facpa...

In today's episode of the Night Science Podcast we talk with Martin Schwartz from Yale about the importance of stupidity in science: while learning science makes you feel smart, true scientific discovery often involves feeling stupid, because it means venturing into the unknown.

New Night Science Podcast episode! Martin Schwartz from Yale talks with us about the importance of stupidity in scientific research, how the ego can obstruct creativity, and how resilience, self-discovery, and "passionate indifference" – are key in science. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/n...

Upcoming (April 28 - May 2) free, 5-day webinar "Advancing Computational Neuroscience Through Collaborative Learning". With speakers from Afrika, US and Europe, and organized by Jessica Oparebea and collaborators at the University of Ghana. Please spread the word, and sign up if you're interested!

This has a great review on predictive processing in the cortex. I'm looking forward to seeing more from this community project!

How does our brain predict the future? Our review of predictive processing + research program is now on arXiv arxiv.org/abs/2504.09614 50+ neuroscientists distributed across the world worked together to create this unique community project.

Are you using GCaMP8 or are planning to switch from GCaMP6? Then check out this new preprint from our lab! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... - Calcium imaging - GCaMP8 vs. GCaMP6 - Spike inference - Imaging + ephys ground truth With F. Helmchen, K. Svoboda, M. Rozsa & X. Fang.

My lab's senior tech is heading to grad school 🥳so we @BrandeisNeuro have an opening for a Research Technician. It is an ideal position for someone interested in uncovering how our brains learn within a young and collaborative team. Pls spread the news. brandeis.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/Jobs/job/Bra...
