Two-photon calcium imaging at 24,000 lines/s, with the resonant axis spanning 4x what other systems can do. Inertia-free. Diffraction-limited. No tradeoffs. Che-Hang Yu developed a 4x angle multiplier for laser scanning. His paper is out today: opg.optica.org/optica/fullt... 1/n #fluorescenceFriday
I had a special & lovely visit to my alma mater NYCU to give a talk on my PhD work this week. Huge thanks to Dr. Tsai-Wen Chen and Dr. Bei-Jung Lin for hosting me! So excited to see some super cool voltage imaging rig and data 🤩😍⚡ Can't wait to see more sys neuro work from Taiwan!! 🧠
Very excited to post our paper led by @daburke.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41... where we uncover a simple mathematical rule underlying how brains learn that a cue predicts a reward. 1/26
First *complete* view of the mouse hippocampus with in-vivo 2p imaging + ex-vivo MERSCOPE spatial transcriptomics!
* 🔊 sound on
Amazing collaboration led @jason_hc_yong
at @attila_losonczy's lab.

⚠️ New paper alert and what a way to end 2025! 🎉
Happy to share our story “Sleep-dependent infraslow rhythms are evolutionarily conserved across reptiles and mammals.” published today in Nature Neuroscience.
Sleeping dragons 🦎 and functional ultrasound!

New in Neuron: “Feeding-induced olfactory cortex suppression reduces satiation” @CharitéBerlin researchers. This study reveals how the sense of smell controls meal ending & binge eating behavior. Read more: tinyurl.com/227dw782 #Neuroscience #Satiation #BingeEating @hunglo.bsky.social & colleagues

"High-resolution activity maps of PFC did NOT align with cytoarchitecturally defined subregions."
Key tenet in neuroscience is that cytoarchitectonic boundaries correspond to functional ones.
NB: study in the mouse

Loops paper! 💡
@hunglo.bsky.social, Friedrich Johenning & team show that during binge feeding, OT GABA neurons silence piriform cortex → flavors fade, fullness lags and eating continues!
Who knew smell circuits could fuel overeating? 🐭🧋

🚨 Preprint alert! 🚨
Can mice estimate the distance to an odour source?
New work led by Cristina Marin and colleagues, jointly supervised by @andreas-t-schaefer.bsky.social at the @crick.ac.uk and myself.
Spoiler alert: Yes, they can!
