At #MBL Visual Neuroscience course w/ Anna Jansson @anna-neuro.bsky.social, Angel Robles-Gomez & Leonor Afrima. 2P microscopy to image visual signals into & out of bipolar cells in retina of larval zebrafish. Great fun! Thanks to Directors @RichKramerLab.bsky.social & @gregsxhwartz.bsky.social
We have a fresh new paper! The PhD project of the talented Mark Conway. A learning-induced change in the sensitivity of olfactory receptor neurons enables consistent perception of an odor. #olfaction #neuroscience www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Perceptual constancy for an odor is acquired through changes in primary sensory neurons
Learning-induced changes in primary sensory neurons support concentration-invariant perception of an odor.

Horace Barlow, by all accounts, was thinking about 30 years ahead of his time. Here is a transcript of the opening keynote I gave at a symposium honoring Horace's scientific legacy: markusmeister.com/2024/12/14/h....
I am thrilled to announce that Rich Kramer and I are co-directing a BRAND NEW hands-on visual neuroscience course at the MBL. August 1-16, 2025. Details in this flyer. Trainees please apply. And everyone, please spread the word!
