How does the brain work?
Scientists are closer to the answer with the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date. 🧵

10+ years of vision 👁️research in mice 🐭recasts our ideas about the brain 🧠and sharing data 🧪📈... a brief guide 👇 Thanks to many colleagues and @gtresearch.bsky.social @gt-neuro.bsky.social for connecting us w @us.theconversation.com
Anyone looking for a PhD in NeuroAI (models of the visual system to spatial system)? @amansaleem.bsky.social and I are looking for someone to start in October. More details here: www.findaphd.com/phds/project...
Get in touch with either of us if you’ve got questions!
FDA plans to phase out animal testing requirement for drug testing and replace it with “AI-based computational models of toxicity” and organoid toxicity testing www.fda.gov/news-events/...
🧪 The Sjöström Lab in Montreal is looking for a postdoc! We study cortical circuits, synaptic plasticity, and NMDAR signalling using custom 2-photon microscopy and optogenetics. We seek candidates with strong patch-clamp and/or 2-photon imaging expertise, and a relevant publication track record.
Check out our latest paper today in Nature: “Goal specific hippocampal inhibition gates learning” www.nature.com/articles/s41...
By Nuri Jeong, Xiao Zheng, Abby Paulson, Steph Prince and colleagues.
This paper is the result of >20 yrs of hard work by talented students, postdocs and collaborators, but none more than my co-author Ren Ng and his team in EECS.

In case you missed it... here's how we train mice to become experts in a visual spatial attention task (in 17 days!) PLUS new findings: contrast sensitivity improves at relevant spatial locations 👁️🧠 Tons of work from the team (700+ days of data from 36 🐭and 11 👩🔬 👨🔬) led by Kayla Peelman 💪

Brain gain? Toronto's @UHN hospital system will announce a strategy to attract U.S. health scientists - plan to be unveiled Monday.
Website isn't up yet, but U.S scientists interested check here Monday. Hopefully other hospitals & universities follow UHNCanadaleads.ca
2. Systems Neuroscience PhD position, supervised jointly with Sarah Ruediger @ruedigersarah.bsky.social
This is to investigate the differential circuits involved in habitual and goal-directed behaviours.

Image display by cell-by-cell retina stimulation, enabling colors impossible to see under natural viewing.
Studying how mice see is giving neuroscientists new insight into how the human brain turns light into vision 👀
