🚨The Sweis Lab for Translational Neuroeconomics at Mount Sinai is searching for a postdoctoral research fellow! If you or someone you know is searching for a position, please share! 📄 📌Link to job flyer here: tinyurl.com/3vapfpn5 🧠 🐁 🔬🏙️🌆🧪🧬💊🧫💡🏥 @sinaibrain.bsky.social @mountsinai.bsky.social

How does the brain build a memory? A common assumption is that the neurons activated during an experience collectively form the memory engram. In our new Nature Neuroscience paper (finally out!), we show that this is not the case. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The Cummings Lab is hiring a postdoc to work in the areas of reward and addiction! Please see the ad below:

Excited to share that I landed my dream job!🎉🎉🎉 The Pennington Lab will be opening at the University of British Columbia in January 2026! @ubcpsych.bsky.social @dmcbrainhealth.bsky.social

#resourceshelp Please repost 🙏🏽 I am looking for a list of (recommended) online courses in #computational #neuroscience that offer a #certification. Ideally, the focus of those courses would be systems and networks rather than single-cell modeling. (I know of the 2 courses offered by Neuromatch)

Ever wonder how many lives have been saved by NIH-funded research - including your own? Enter any medical condition and instantly see how your tax dollars transformed science into survival. www.ourhealthroi.com

This damage will be irreparable. www.thetransmitter.org/funding/prop...

Our new paper is out in Science. What is the synaptic plasticity rule in the brain, we asked. It turns out there are multiple, even within individual neurons. Congrats Jake! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

PREPRINT🚨Ever wonder how electrical⚡️ stimulation of the brain🧠modulates neuronal activity? Are you working with brain stim and variability makes you want to smash your pc and go to a mountain to grow tomatoes? Are you a family member or a friend who really appreciate me? 1/13

Hey SUFS Community! If you fall into one of the following categories and are willing to talk to press (on or off the record), please comment/DM us: 1. Had a funded grant revoked 2. Are considering moving abroad to continue your research 3. Have been impacted by the stoppage of a clinical trial

Two cool papers out in Neuron today on memory. 1. Animals can be trained to activate specific remote memories at will: www.cell.com/neuron/fullt... 2. Interactions between cortex and amygdala during reactivation in NREM sleep help enhance perceptual memories: www.cell.com/neuron/fullt... 🧠📈 🧪

The Oldenburg Lab is looking for another postdoc! The news these days is scary but we're pushing on. If you want to use Holographic Optogenetics to understand neural codes, the motor system, or something else fun let me know. We have federal and non-federal (aka stable) funds. oldenburglab.com

We had a lot of fun featuring beautiful new work from Laura DeNardo's lab in which they revealed prefrontal ensemble activity transformations underlying rapid threat avoidance learning! www.cell.com/current-biol... Original paper published in Current Biology: www.cell.com/current-biol...

Out of the lab, into the streets!

New newsletter alert! We're relaunching Null and Noteworthy, a monthly roundup about null results and replications in neuroscience research. This month: A failed replication of a potential schizophrenia biomarker. By Laura Dattaro #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/null-and-not...

🔥 PAVLOVIAN 2025 UPDATE 🔥 Call for Posters, Data Blitz, and Travel Awards for the SYDNEY Pavlovian Society meeting in Aug 7th-10th is open 🧠 🧪 We have 5 x US$1,000 in travel awards to support trainees! Check out our 🔥 hotel, line up of speakers, and APPLY here: pavlovian.org/upcoming-mee...

This is an excellent thread summarizing many of my own objections. I’d like to add two thoughts: 🧵 1/n

Important read for anyone looking at stress vulnerability and limbic systems! Congrats to @zachtpennington.bluesky.social on this comprehensive work

Important paper! www.biorxiv.org/content/bior... Im not sure the Discussion fully delineates its radical implications. No more... * Place cells * Grid cells, splitter cells, border cells * Mirror neurons * Reward neurons * Conflict cells (continued)

Just put together the beginnings of a systems & behavior neuro starter pack (focus on rodent work) - obviously a lot of people missing, and most included are in my own little bubble, so if you want to be added do reply here! go.bsky.app/Hxpe53o

Grateful to be nominated for the UCLA Chancellor’s Award for Postdoctoral Research! Overwhelmed by the quality of research and postdocs in my field, let alone across all disciplines. Love being surrounded by so many dedicated people

me writing academic emails after reading Jane Austen: I trust that you and your graduate students remain in good health. I have not the smallest wish to vex you, but I find I must trouble you for a meeting. I flatter myself that you will endeavour to fill out this Whenisgood poll before Michaelmas.

There is an absolute treasure over on elephant app of a November 2019 conversation between Lynn Nadel and Brenda Milner. neuromatch.social/@nadel/11124... #neuroskyence

Major work for the cerebellar field!

Introduce yourself with some previous jobs: - roofing sales - medical transcriptionist - call center tech support - trail maintenance - resident hall advisor

Hit a postdoc milestone today. Did surgery on ‘ZZ200’, the 200th mouse of this project. You get a faculty position at mouse 250, right?😅

The NIH has posted a list of what Program Officers cannot do for individual applicant PIs. It's true and it's not true and this whole business pisses me off. nexus.od.nih.gov/all/2023/09/...

Postdoctoral Funding Opportunities database. This is a great resource curated by Johns Hopkins, and promoted by Denis Wirtz research.jhu.edu/rdt/funding-...

I’ve been here for two hours and love it but will abandon ship immediately if skeet is the nome de post 💀

👋 hello world! I'm Zach, a neuroscience postdoc at UCLA. I study the mechanisms and functions of how (traumatic) memories organize and reorganize in the brain across time, using circuit and systems neuroscience tools. #neuroscience #neuroskyence
