Want to collaborate with the International Brain Laboratory on your own project? They have funding to work with groups anywhere in the world on new projects and are looking for new partners! LOI deadline coming up (Nov 1). Learn more and apply: www.internationalbrainlab.com/ibl-core-apply

Exciting opportunity here - if you have a dataset and want IBL staff to run pipelines, develop visualizations or websites, work on QC, etc - or if you want to work on the IBL dataset in a way that needs staff support - then this is for you! Check it out.

Two flagship papers from the International Brain Laboratory, now out in ‪@Nature.com‬: 🧠 Brain-wide map of neural activity during complex behaviour: doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-09235-0 🧠 Brain-wide representations of prior information in mouse decision-making: doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-09226-1 +

we're crowd-sourcing a searchable repository of tangible benefits stemming from federally-funded research. Come enjoy the great stories; or send in an idea; or volunteer to join the team. publicusaresearchbenefits.com please share and re-share so we get more great stories in there!

Gave a talk at my parents’ retirement community to describe how science is done, and what is at stake. There was a ton of interest, and anyone can do this. Get the word out about how science affects everyone. I’m happy to share slides with anyone who asks- just get in touch! youtu.be/BY_SFgi-Cig

Congratulations to Adrienne Fairhall, Prof. of Neurobiology and Biophysics, Adjunct Prof. of Applied Mathematics, and Adjunct Prof. of Physics, who has just been elected to the National Academy of Sciences! 🍾 🎉

🧪 The NSF director is lying to you. Let’s fact check 7 claims from yesterday’s letter to the community, while pointing out 3 critical omissions. 🧵

Standing up for science in Seattle - some lab members (Zhiwen, Nancy, Fabiola, and Jeremy) plus lab-friend Harsha @harshag.bsky.social. If only it seemed like there was the remotest chance anyone in the administration cared about our voices.

Neuropixels and Optogenetics are delighted to announce the birth of Neuropixels Opto Combining high-resolution electrophysiology and optogenetics Today in bioRxiv 960 sites, 28 emitters, 2 colors By Lakunina, @karolinazsocha.bsky.social, Ladd, et al www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... (1/2)

Have you wondered whether fast spatiotemporal brain dynamics like traveling waves are local, confined to just one region, or whether they are shared across many regions simultaneously? The latest work from Zhiwen Ye in my lab has the answer! Thread- www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Going to SfN this year? Join us for a workshop on how to use the IBL Brainwide Map dataset to test your own hypotheses! For more information and to register, visit internationalbrainlab.org/sfn2023 #Neuroscience #compneuro #sfn2023
