All talks of the 2025 UCL #Neuropixels course are now available: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... For more information on the course see the website: www.ucl.ac.uk/neuropixels/... And for those at #SfN, come say hi at the #Neuropixels booth (Number 3731) or at my Poster 👋. Happy Neuropixeling!

Join the 2025 UCL Neuropixels course (free and online!), 22-24th of October: Day 1 and 2: Get started with the basics and the latest updates on hardware & software. Day 3: Focus on how to analyse the many neurons you recorded. More info and to register: www.ucl.ac.uk/neuropixels/...

Introducing our new favorite stimulus. A few minutes are enough to map the visual preferences of thousands of neurons. Mapping the visual cortex with Zebra noise and wavelets www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... By Sophie Skriabine and Max Shinn, with Samuel Picard and @kenneth-harris.bsky.social

Glad to see my PhD work out! Thanks to all my collaborators and to Kenneth and Matteo for making this possible!

New by Agnès Landemard (@agnesland.bsky.social‬) & co Brainwide blood volume reflects opposing neural populations Brainwide fluctuations in blood volume arise from two populations with opposite relation to brain state and distinct relationships to blood supply www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Can large language models be more human? Professor Mehrnoosh Sadrzadeh tells all about it at #pint25

Many of us use 2p scopes to image 3D volumes of brain. But then we analyze the data plane by plane, resulting in duplicated neurons, missed neurons, and low s/n. Let's go 3D!

Our paper describing UnitMatch software "tracking neurons across days with high-density probes", appeared in this month's issue of #NatureMethods. Missed it? Read it here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Tickets for @pintofscience.uk are now available! Come join us for one of the #beautiful-minds events at the George IV in Chiswick - London, for example this one on human-like AI! More information: pintofscience.co.uk/event/human-.... Tickets for this event are popular, so don't wait too long! 🍻🧠🤖

If you're at #cosyne2025 drop by our poster [2-011] on 'Tracking neurons in chronic ephys recordings with Deep Neural Networks', March 28th, 1.15pm at Square Dorchester! A collaborative effort of presenter Wentao Qiu, Suyash Agarwal, Kenneth Harris, supervised by Célian Bimbard and myself.

Het lijkt er toch steeds meer op dat Eppo Bruins de meest incompetente en opportunistische minister van OCW is die Nederland in mensenheugenis heeft gehad. Eerst een sector helemaal in crisis storten, en dan, terwijl er een miljard bezuinigd wordt, >

I think the best part of working in an international environment are the yearly discussions on Pancake day. "Who invented the pancake?" And "should it be waffle day instead, like in part of the Netherlands" cause some serious debates!

Can the mouse visual cortex harbor a functional organization for stimulus features? TLDR: Yes, we found ocular dominance columns in this tiny cortical region!
