There was this Tsai/Yuste/Shepard paper that meister famously eviscerated. markusmeister.com/2018/03/20/d... It seems that the authors never retracted the paper (or does ieee not mark retractions)? If not, does anyone know why not? @retractionwatch.com

Me: confident in surgery. Mouse brain, three weeks later: ‘Sure, bud’. 😊🧠🥲

Mouse stereotactic surgery never gets old: you level a tiny irregular skull, go by coordinates based on eyeballed reference points, deliver microdrops of virus following protocolised superstition and whoom, three weeks later, the exact subregion you aimed for lights up (well, sometimes) ✨🧠🧪

This shows that we need to apply averages carefully because they mean different things in different experimental contexts. In other words - THINK BEFORE YOUR AVERAGE! And feel welcome to use our test to help you do that. ;) journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol...

I usually focus on neurons that fire crazy fast, but I like neurons that burst, too!!

Happy #FluorescentFriday Here is a cerebral organoid expressing 5-HT2A receptors (red) along its outer surface. They seem to be a different set of cells than the CTIP2 positive deep layer neurons (magenta). There seems to be some believable 5-HT2C (green) signal basal to the rosettes too 🔬 #sciart

Felt a little extra today when preparing a spike sorting lecture and put together these illustrations, I could not find anything similar for single electrodes! 🧪🧠⚡ #neuroskyence #SciArt

If you are interested in neural manifolds, dimensionality, brain states, and/or top-down modulation you are gonna like this one! 🧠🙈💫🧪 "Neural manifolds in V1 change with top-down signals from V4 targeting the foveal region" doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... Also enjoy this animation :) #SciArt #neuroskyence

A paper about our next generation data acquisition system, ONIX, was just published: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
