Check out our first research article from the Emrick lab, published in Cell Reports! We define the sensory neurons in the tooth as sentinels: tuned to detect tooth damage and trigger a protective jaw opening reflex. 🦷🔨 I’m officially a mammalian somatosensory biologist (but I still 🩷 worms 🪱)

Another important article by Kate Zernike from the @nytimes.com You can read it for free without a subscription. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/10/u...

Thrilled to present our paper out today in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social We asked how prediction errors are generated in the auditory cortex during the oddball paradigm. When blocking top-down prediction signals from mPFC, we saw reduced prediction errors in A1. doi.org/10.1016/j.ce...

Thrilled that our paper has been published in @elife.bsky.social doi.org/10.7554/eLif... We ask: how can a neuron integrate information across multiple time scales? Twist: This neuron has extreme properties that helps it work ~300x times faster than neurons in the hippocampus Summary 🧵to follow

(Plz repost) I’ve been receiving some good news lately and will be hiring at all levels to expand the lab. Please get in contact if you are interested in reinforcement learning, neural plasticity, neural circuit dynamics, and/or hearing rehabilitation. pierre.apostolides @ umich .edu Tyvm

I spent this afternoon in DC meeting with @repdwightevans.bsky.social about the current science funding freeze & indirect cuts. I'm proud to fight for the biomedical research funding & cures we all deserve—and you can, too.

Dan Johnston, History of Neuroscience Autobiographies by SFN. Dan was my PhD advisor who I learned so much from. He writes about challenges, successes, failures; love for his dogs, colleagues and passion for physiology. Great perspective by a talented, humble & kind human. tinyurl.com/3kuswnn2

Thank so much for all your support with this project Ross!

Our new work investigating multiplexing and mixed selectivity in auditory inferior colliculus neurons is up on bioRxiv 🎉 doi.org/10.1101/2025...

! 🚨Preprint Alert🚨
! Flo and Johann’s magnum opus on calcium permeation in AMPA Receptors is up. It’s another chapter in our collaboration with Han Sun (FMP-Berlin), with ephys from our former student @ecekuru.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 
For the details, here's a #bluetorial 1/n

Academics wanting to 'verify' their Bluesky profile as genuine might give an ORCID identifier in their profile and link back to their Bluesky profile from ORCID. #AcademicSky

Hi! I am starting my postdoc in January & am planning to apply for the HHMI Hanna H. Gray fellowship in the 2025 cycle, and I was wondering if there are any recent awardees who would be willing to share example applications or tips? Thank you thank you! #Neuroscience 🧪

Hi everyone! I am a graduate student in the Roberts lab, I am focused on identifying the neuron types and circuits in the inferior colliculus using light-sheet, tissue clearing and sequencing. I am excited to get to know everyone in the field! #neuroscience

We are recruiting a PhD student! The project will define the sensory strategies that freely moving animals use to chase sounds. The ideal candidate will have an engineering / neuroscience background and strong coding skills. Reach out to learn more! shorturl.at/cNu0p

here's my latest preprint where I show that auditory midbrain and thalamus display similar patterns of plasticity as the auditory cortex during perceptual task performance and perceptual learning! auditory cortex has 24 hours to respond

Going to #AROMWM ? Looking for a postdoc position? Love auditory neuroscience and regeneration? Fully funded position in my research group - would love to tell you more about it at #ARO2024 👂🐟🔬

Check out our new preprint! Using live imaging in zebrafish to evaluate cellular mechanisms of cisplatin chemotherapy-induced hearing loss, we show that sensory hair cell mitochondria are direct targets for cisplatin, and that cumulative mitochondrial activity increases hair cell vulnerability 👂🐟⚕️

If there's a microphone available, please use the microphone 🥺 Just use it, it doesn't matter if you're "loud" or a random person in the back of the room says they can hear you. It's an accessibility issue that affects me but I don't always have the energy/courage to say anything.

First post! We're looking for a Research Assistant to help us understand how platinum-based chemotherapy drugs damage sensory receptors & nerves! #neuroscience #zebrafish #job jobrxiv.org/job/washingt...
