The Schiller lab is hiring PhD and post doc students for an ERC funded research on dendritic and network mechanisms of motor learning using state of the art methods. Atmosphere in the lab is lively and multi-cultural. Come join us.

Women are under-represented at senior levels in #academia globally, and across all #science disciplines, as shown by these 'scissor-shaped curves' ✂️

So how can we achieve #gender #equality ?

We discuss various strategies in this #Cell Commentary.. 🧵

Thanks to the members of the Physiology Department 1 in Freiburg (Letzkus, Sauer, Veit, Cholvin, Elgueta, Bartos groups) and their excellent contributions to a very successful Neuroscience retreat at the castle Beugen this year.

*PhD student alert*
My group MPI for Brain Research is seeking to hire a PhD student to explore the neural basis of instinctive behaviours in mice 🐭 using state-of-the-art molecular tools 🧪

Come to beautiful Crete for the EMBO DENDRITES meeting! Abstract submission closes *this* Friday. A wonderful opportunity to discuss interesting science and network with peers and colleagues. Submit your work here: meetings.embo.org/event/24-dendr…

The spatial representation of temperature in the thalamus biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Check out our latest work mapping the thalamic representation of temperature!

TLDR: Two distinct thalamic pathways for temperature - each required for thermal perception!!

We are hiring! If you are passionate about circuit and behavioral neuroscience and want to learn about neuropeptides, apply for our European Research Council (ERC)-funded RA/Technician position MedUni Wien: melzerlab.org/Research-techn…. Please RT!

Hiring alert! We have openings for 2 fully funded PhD positions and a postdoc position! For more info, check out our website: sprekelerlab.org/jobs/!

The first cellular map of a mammalian brain is here. 🧠✨

Over 6 years and 32 million cells in the making, the complete adult mouse brain cell-type atlas reveals astonishing diversity and regional specificity.

So after a year of working on it and many, many revisions here is my lab's take on the wonders of Layer 1! A bit shout out to Shuhan Huang Leena Ali Ibrahim who both did the heavy lifting in putting this piece together! Let us know what you think! cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

The MPI for Brain Research is excited to share the publication of a new study in Cell Press that is reshaping our understanding of the fundamental building blocks of the brain, the proteins that are present at synapses.

Excited to see this finally published! In this short Perspective article, Teresa Spanò, Erin schuman and I discuss current European initiatives and propose further actions to support women’s career progression in STEM 👩🏿‍🔬👩🏾‍🔬👩🏽‍🔬👩🏼‍🔬👩🏻‍🔬

🚨 Preprint alert!!Thrilled to share my work in Ruediger Klein lab MPI for Biological Intelligence IMPRS-ML w/Zhang Y, Christian Peters Tobias S,Johanna Luise Mayer How emotional valence is arranged in BLA? is it hard-wired/topography? here's what we found!

A herculean effort 💪from Jan Hartung revealing the unique connectivity and physiological properties of what might be the coolest neurons in cortex! I am proud that I could contribute.
Don’t miss the characterization of persistent firing, a fascinating hallmark of these cells✨

Now out in Cell Reports - doi.org/10.1016/j.celr…

Story finally out ⭐️ We found that hypothalamic oxytocin cells in maternal mice receive inputs from the auditory thalamus, increase their activity following distress pup vocalizations to release central oxytocin and modulate behavior

Learning and troubleshooting by doing, but we got there 💪🏼

Cellular biology / image processing / microscopy question:

What tools are there to automatically detect and track identity and position of moving, partially overlapping, fluorescent labeled cell nuclei across frames/time in an imaging data set?

Please RT and thanks a lot!
