Sound localization by fish was long considered physically impossible, until it was shown behaviorally. How do they do it? Johannes Veith, Thomas Chaigne and team dove into this question with Danionella cerebrum. nature.com/articles/s4158… [1/11]
How does organismal complexity originate? In this Annual Reviews article, I synthesize a framework for how cooperative division of labor evolves between cell types, creating organ-level functions. Organ Evolution: Emergence of Multicellular Function go.shr.lc/3xMHHs8
Excited to share my new paper "Spike distance function as a learning objective for spike prediction" accepted to #ICML2024 done with Marvin Seifert, Carola Yovanovich and Tom Baden. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2312.01966 Webpage: kdoran.com/spikedistance/ Made possible thanks to The Leverhulme Trust!
It's not over till its over! Come to the last session at #icn2024berlin in Hall B to see my talk about googley-eyed sea worms as well as other exciting talks about mantis shrimp (Judy_Chingwen) and jumping spiders (Megan Porter)! Neuroethology (ISN)
This meeting HHMI | Janelia will bring together researchers to share challenges and successes in the development of new genetic tools for a broad range of non-traditional model organisms and biological problems. Learn more + apply by Oct. 29 @ janelia.news/NMS25 @HHMINews
New study Cell Reports🥳 Using recordings & #deepnet driven image synthesis we find an intriguing difference btw🐭&🐒 visual cortex/V1 🐭: complex, non-Gabor like receptive fields 🐒: Gabor-like RFs Team effort🙌Jiakun Fu Andreas Tolias Lab sinzlab & more👇 cell.com/cell-reports/f…
Finally published in today's issue of Cell Reports – our latest paper on patterning of retinal mosaics. See below for a tweetorial I posted last fall, and go here to see the final version: cell.com/cell-reports/f… Congrats to co-authors Chris Kozlowski and Sarah Hadyniak, PhD !
‼️Preprint is out!! Together with Tabea , Inês MA Ribeiro, J. Haag, Maria Leonte and A. Borst we explore the acetylcholine receptor variety in T5 visual neurons of Drosophila melanogaster. Read on to learn more!!🪰👁️🧠doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…
Our paper📝“Top-down modulation of the retinal code via histaminergic neurons of the hypothalamus” is now available in Science Advances! Dive in to find out how histaminergic neurons in the brain🧠modulate activity of retinal neurons in mice🐭and humans😎. doi.org/10.1126/sciadv…
My lab at UCLA Stein Eye Institute is hiring for a research technician and a postdoc. This is a highly collaborative environment. Please see retinalcircuits.com for more info and DM me if interested.
How can we train biophysical neuron models on data or tasks? We built Jaxley, a differentiable, GPU-based biophysics simulator, which makes this possible even when models have thousands of parameters! Led by Michael Deistler, collab with Philipp Berens Pedro J. Goncalves biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
