In a new study led by Michael Fitzpatrick, we describe a pupillary contrast response in mice and humans, which senses temporal contrast to enhance spatial contrast in the retinal image and increase visual acuity. We decipher the underlying neural mechanisms. bit.ly/3w8ieIV
the lab is recruiting scientists HHMI | Janelia! we are particularly excited about engineering fluorescent proteins and biosensors using high-throughput assays and machine learning. questions? please get in touch!
How I love graduation! Congrats Berkeley Neuroscience grads Bateup Lab and UC Berkeley MCB undergrad Eugene Liang with labmate Etchi Ako . Fun to hang with colleagues Robin Ball Yvette Fisher Steve Brohawn Dan Feldman David Julius, Randy S (not on X) backstage Greek Theatre Berkel .
Thank you,Cell, for saving a precious CellBio Cover for a DevNeuro study😉 Kenichi Toma led the work with colleagues at UCSF Neuroscience Graduate Program UC San Francisco Stanford University Genentech #Retinalganglioncell #angiogenesis #ophthalmology—more threads to follow soon.
Collaboration with Karthik Shekhar presented for first time #GRCVisualSystems led by Rachana Deven Somaiya and Matthew Po. With Yirong Peng Robert Hindges and JASON Triplett
Best program for postdocs, visiting professors and UC Berkeley faculty. Check it out!
Congratulations to Doris Tsao of UC Berkeley MCB, who shares the 2024 Kavli Prize in neuroscience, and to former UC Berkeley provost Paul Alivisatos, who shares the nanoscience prize buff.ly/45jnHK1 The Kavli Foundation The University of Chicago
Thrilled to share our new paper just out in Science Magazine, led by the amazing postdoc Naoyuki Matsumoto! We found how patterns of spontaneous activity instruct fine-scale refinement of axonal connectivity. A great collaboration with the Crair group! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Check out Perspective by the awesome Rachana Deven Somaiya on exciting work from Crair lab (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39146415/) . Kudos to Ed the axon whisperer 🥼🧠🧬🔬 for inspiration. Visualizing synaptic pruning in the mammalian brain | Science science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
I would LOVE to host a Miller Fellow UCB Miller Institute . If you are finishing up your Ph. D. and working on retina in Berkeley is of interest to you, please check out miller.berkeley.edu/fellowship and contact me!
Congratulations Karina Bistrong
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.
