Science of the day: The three essential components for groundbreaking neuroscience: inspiration, perspective, and a well-stocked bottom shelf. Side science: The optimal book-to-whisky ratio is still under review. #Neuroscience #neuroskyence #whisky #hawking

Science of the day: Some spikes are just more positive than others, at least waveform-wise. Side science: interested in these positive units (Punits), check out this work by Shirly Someck www.nature.com/articles/s42... #Neuroscience #neuroskyence #punits #PositiveVibes

Science of the day: Head direction neurons usually need a decoder to reveal heading. With these raster plots, the heading is clear from the neurons' spiking activity Side science: although compared to an internal compass, the HD system isn’t tied to magnetic north #Neuroscience #neuroskyence #spikes

Science of the day: the activity of thalamic neuronal population during slow wave sleep. Here, dozens of neurons synchronize their firing activity in a Delta rhythm Side science: Shana Tova to you all! I hope this year will be a year of science and peace #Neuroscience #neuroskyence #ShanaTova

Science of the day: the distance between shanks of this silicone probe, used for electrophysiological recordings from the brain, is 0.125 mm. For scale, a hair at the bottom of the image Side science: my go to probe is the diagnostic biochips 8 shanks, 128 channels. #Neuroscience #neuroskyence

Science of the day: 10 neuroscientists require 3 weeks to finish a bucket full of caramel and cheddar popcorn (thanks @hhmi.org) Side science: the lab is divided between those who prefer the caramel ones and those who know nothing. #Neuroscience #popcorn #neuroskyence

Science of the day: the 4 ingredients of an in house optogenetic device: LED, fiber, 61 and 68 optical adhesives. Side science: although I was taught this technique by Eran Stark, I consider Shirly Someck to be the uncontested master builder #Neuroscience #optogenetics

Very excited to be part of the 2025 class of fellows. Thank you @jcchildsfund.bsky.social for the opportunity and for your support!
