Laser scanning on your equipment entails tradeoffs between speed, resolution, and field-of-view. Pick 2 of those 3. Now you can get all 3, with this breakthrough. www.laserfocusworld.com/optics/artic... Thanks @laserfocusworld.bsky.social

www.nature.com/articles/s41... Two-author papers are always special. Using optogenetic stimulation of hippocampal synapses in awake mice and tracking them over approx. 2 weeks, we link synaptic strength, spine volume and their stability. It's confirmed: bigger spines are stronger and more stable 😅

Did you see us in Stockholm, Sweden for the Focus on Microscopy (FOM) Conference? It was great connecting with a diverse community of educators, researchers, and emerging microscopists, all dedicated to advancing microscopy research and fostering collaboration across academia and industry. 🤜🤛

🚨New preprint and our results are rather concerning.. We find the "boiling frog" equivalent of AI use. Using large-scale RCTs, we provide *casual* evidence that AI assistance reduces persistence and hurts independent performance. And these effects emerge after just 10–15 minutes of AI use! 1/

Someone order a cholinergic interneuron? Look at that beauty! Sure, in vivo voltage imaging is a bugger, but when it works... 😍

We're hiring! Research Assistant position in our lab @champalimaudf.bsky.social in #Lisbon. Work on #diet - #brain and #microbiome - #metabolism projects using innovative #microscopy, #connectome and #metabolism methods. Start in May. Apply: ribeirolab.org

Ich finde die gesellschaftliche Stille zu einem 20-Jährigen Rechtsextremen, der gegenüber Medien einen Mordanschlag angekündigt haben soll und anschließend mit Messer und detonierenden Sprengsätzen durch einen ICE zieht, nicht nur befremdlich, sondern extrem beunruhigend. #Siegburg

How many photons do you need to measure a fluorescence lifetime? We are proud to release HILIGTHer, a #FLIM #DigitalTwin designed to simulate most features of time-domain FLIM systems, just announced at #FOM2026 and incredibly well-received. Beta release now available: github.com/HiLIGHT-HORI...

We are so looking forward to CSHL Neurobiology of Drosophila 2026 🔬 🧠. The new application deadline is April 13th. Come join us! @cshlnews.bsky.social @cshlcourses.bsky.social @rister.bsky.social

Wait… localized norepinephrine transients in the awake visual cortex?! Who would have guessed this neuromodulatory signal is that spatially precise, right where visual processing is happening. Brain state control just got a lot more local. @ruedigersarah.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Been thinking about it since I saw JK Rowling posted this yesterday about the IOC's new policy, calling Imane Khelif a man. Imane Khelif was born female. She was raised as a girl. Her original birth certificate says female. She's always been a woman. But sure. "Men punching women."

Huge field-of-view, fast, high res. two-photon imaging. This technology (paper link below) is available now, in the Ventana products. Sold as complete turnkey systems, or components. pacificoptica.com/ventana/ Installations are happening now at some of the best labs in the world.

🧠 Check out this preprint by our postdoc Selin Kenet from her previous work with Thomas Misgeld on neuromyelitis optica! They show that complement-mediated injury directly affects myelin and oligodendrocytes, suggesting that demyelination is not just downstream of astrocyte loss. 🧠

👋 Neuromatch is looking for more TAs to help facilitate comp neuro + neuroAI learning this summer! You'll get to work with students from around the world and share your expertise with the global community 🧠 🌎 🤖 🌍💻 🌏 #cosyne2026 #neuroscience

Die aktuelle, konzertiert wirkende „zurück zur Atomkraft“-Aktion basiert maßgeblich auf nachweislich falschen Behauptungen. - Atomstrom ist NICHT BILLIG - Sein Anteil an der globalen Erzeugung SCHRUMPFT - Es bauen KEINESWEGS „alle außer uns“ Kernkraftwerke - „Pläne“ sind keine Projekte

Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy. This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis. 44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.

We’re excited to join the @dfg.de Final Symposium “Frontiers in Light Microscopy – Technologies Driving Discovery” @uniosnabrueck.bsky.social Looking forward to celebrating the discoveries emerging from the light microscopy community #LightMicroscopy #Bioimaging #CellBiology #ScienceInGermany

Da jetzt einige wechseln, lasst uns doch mal einen Austausch wagen. Wer hat bereits? Wer denkt darüber nach? Vorteile? Nachteile? Erfahrungen?

New paper out: www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🥳 Congratulations to our PhD student Katja for her inspiring work just published in Nature Communications on how the larval zebrafish brain processes multiple visual features. Check out a short summary of the work here: tinyurl.com/yzv4ct9k

First whole-brain recording of social sound processing in a vertebrate. Surprises start in the hindbrain; thalamus gates conspecific calls; male and female brains diverge downstream. Work by @joerghenninger.bsky.social, @mh123.bsky.social sky.social and team. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

First preprint from the lab! Using intracellular recordings & analysis of 2-photon imaging data, we show that spiking & neuromodulatory input during experience drive a reorganization of visuomotor inputs in V1 layer 2/3 neurons, consistent with enhanced visuomotor cancellation - bioRxiv link below.

To my EE students today: You are accountable for truth. Your success will depend on your ability to discern truth. Podcasters don’t have to build things that work. You do. Hype and BS aren’t shippable. You will break problems down into simpler pieces— the fundamentals—and then build back up. 1/2
