Any faculty at UCLA out there - have you received any info from the school or NIH about this?

New preprint! How can you remember an image you saw once, even after seeing thousands of them? We find a role for humble mid-level visual cortex in high-capacity, one-shot learning. doi.org/10.1101/2025.09.22.677855 🧵🧪1/

Ed Kravitz passed away yesterday. He was a remarkable scientist and mentor- brilliant, curious, creative, and kind. I am grateful to have learned from him. His legacy will endure through his science and through the many people he inspired. We will miss you, Ed.

Kliph always with the historical perspective when it comes to comedy. Worth reading.

New funding opportunity from the BRAIN Initiative! Applications due Oct 28! grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

I've only read the abstract and I already know this paper is so very correct 👀

Really good article on the tensions between Neuralink and the academic labs that created the field of BCI - where they are, how they got there, and how the commercialization and the research are diverging. Well done. Especially good if you're new to this and want an intro to the issues & history.

Updated update I downloaded the data from NIH Reporter too soon. The large end of the month update had not occurred. Here are the results as of this morning. NIH grants management staff have been busy making awards. 1/2

Hello world! sharing a miracle, waylaid by 6 months sadness, but just got resurrected! 1. in Feb, our R01 got this banger score: 1%!😲 2. for next 6 months, PO said its unlikely to fund.😱 3. mysteriously, just got NOA! PO says don't know how, but someone rescued.🥲 tx my savior!🙏 let's go miRNAs!🧬

‼️ great opportunity in very forward-thinking, supportive labs

A happy recording day, listening to spiking activities from two visual areas with distinct preferences (body and face).

ATTN🚨: I will be looking for PhD students through NYU's Center for Data Science PhD program this year. Applicants should have an interest in either NeuroAI (specifically biological attention or AI interpretability) or ML for Remote Sensing. Visit my lab website for more info: lindsay-lab.github.io

🚨Another PI job opening in the Neuroscience dept. at @umontreal.ca ! 🚨 www.nature.com/naturecareer...

Great job Cory. Anyone have a gift article of this they can share?

What does the claustrum actually do? This study explores how this mysterious brain region processes sensory signals and connects across the cortex. While the evidence for its role is still incomplete, the data offer a useful foundation for future work. buff.ly/gfE6Gjt

I am happy to announce that I am nearly caught up on all the work I had from Spring semester and boy am I ready for summer vacation what's that you say

One of the joys of being a scientist is the ability to think about a problem for a long time. Our new preprint solves a mystery that has been bugging me since I was a graduate student (which was, ahem, a while ago). 🧪🧠🧵1/ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Hi, are you an academic biology lab in the Boston area? I am a lab manager at a local biotech and I will be getting rid of a lot consumables in the near future (as will many of my colleagues, unfortunately). If you would be interested in free consumables, please reach out to me!

Haverford is hiring a Neuroscientist! Please spread the word and share with anyone interested in a faculty position at a research-intensive liberal arts college. Motivated students, competitive start ups, hard money, great location, wonderful colleagues! www.haverford.edu/provost/news...

We're looking for a research assistant to work in our neuroscience lab at @princetonneuro.bsky.social @hhmi.org where we study learning and decision-making circuitry. Apply here: research-princeton.icims.com/jobs/21001/r... Pls share w/ anyone who might be interested!

The massive list of suspended UCLA grants came out today: 300 NSF and 500 NIH grants. I am miraculously not on the list, but this is devastating. Science will be lost, progress will be frozen, people will lose jobs, and careers in science and medicine are being destroyed. This is not ok.

Paul Middlebrooks @braininspired.bsky.social talks with particle physicist turned artificial-intelligence expert Jennifer Prendki about how AI needs to emulate biological life. Listen now: www.thetransmitter.org/brain-inspir... #neuroskyence

We currently have 3 Canada Excellence Research Chairs (CERCs) advertised at Queen's University: www.queensu.ca/vpr/cerc One of them, the CERC in Artificial Intelligence and Exascale Computing, covers NeuroAI topics! Please feel free to reach out if you are interested in this.

I’m doing some research on IACUC practices. Does your institution make public the meeting minutes? If so can you DM me with the link to them. [email protected]. Thanks!

The Anne West lab at Duke is hiring a postdoc to work on nuclear cell biology in neurogenesis. Please help me spread the word! Applications to [email protected].

And to be clear about the position: anyone using modern data analytics and/or modelling with NHP data would likely qualify. Also, Queen's has a vibrant and collaborative academic community of neuroscience, ML/AI, robotics and related fields researchers.

Happy 107th Birthday, Brenda Milner! Her contributions to neuropsychology shaped the way we understand the human brain. From surviving two world wars and two pandemics, to paving the way for future generations of researchers, Milner’s legacy continues. @mcgill.ca @cusm-muhc.bsky.social

Amazing mammatus clouds in Hill City, SD today 🧪

listen to XJ Wang Fantastic discussion—his perspective feels like a breath of fresh air. It’s refreshing to hear someone who isn’t confined to framing everything in terms of “cognitive tasks,” but instead views them as conduits for exploring the dynamical systems underpinning cortical function.

Now officially out! What do CA2 neurons become in an Nr3c2 KO? We used spatial transcriptomics to find out. With @neuroerin.bsky.social and @jmw86069.bsky.social Lots in the suppl data rdcu.be/evGGh

This is across all fields. If you are in Computer Science and in this situation, please reach out to me (or directly to our Head of School).

@dj.wxyc.org want to see doggy 🐾

This sounds suspiciously reasonable... anyone have any confirmation?

Who’s making anti fascist music in the USA rn? If you’re not, what’s stopping you?

In this “Brain Inspired” episode, Paul Middlebrooks and Xiao-Jing Wang discuss how neuroscience has changed over the past 50 years, and how Wang believes modern theoretical tools will lead to a new era of “cross-levels mechanistic understanding.” Listen now: www.thetransmitter.org/brain-inspir...

If you, like me, are confused about the relationship of the "Big Beautiful Bill" to the 2025-2026 Federal budget and its relevance to science funding and other issues, here is a GREAT explainer from my friend Kevin Wilson 🧪@ascbiology.bsky.social
