meant to stick this eyecandy here. In vivo kHz rate Glutamate imaging from 4 neighbouring cones

And this new bioRxiv partnering with AI sciencecast thingy is cool. Summarises the paper at 2 knowledge levels, general and expert. Works pretty well sciencecast.org/paper_insights…

Returning for a second year as an Organizing and Teaching Assistant is Burak Gür, a postdoctoral researcher FMI science 🪰⏲️ Thank you Burak for your support and the ideas you bring! #VolunteerAppreciation

New preprint bioRxiv Neuroscience w/ Andreas Tolias Lab & more Our data-driven deep learning approach in🐭🐒identifies a new rule of contextual modulation in visual cortex Pattern completion/disruption wrt natural image stats = surround facilitation/suppression🧵👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

1/ Our new preprint provides insights into the amazing complexity of retinal architecture, highlighting how distinct features of the first inhibitory interneuron of the 🐭 visual system are tailored to the visual environment. #warpedretina

Delighted to share a new paper from the lab just out in eLife, showing the effects of miRNA regulation during the embryonic emergence of movement. Thank you to the tweeter-less champion Jonathan Menzies and great collaborators Andre Chagas and Tom Baden 👉🏼 elifesciences.org/articles/95209

Our 2024 cohort is ready to start the journey. For the next 2 1/2 weeks our students and teaching team will work together and will dive into concepts of computational neurosceince, machine learning and open science! 🧠💻🤖 Have fun everyone!

Day 1 & 2 snapshots A refresher of basic python🐍& neurobiology🧠concepts, some hot debates🔥, a very fun team building activity🤩 and our students are now ready for the next chapter! Thank you Burak Gür Artemis Koumoundourou Gabriela Michel Emmanuel & Tom George for organizing this!

Excited to see this beautiful work by our PhD student Kevin Doran see the light of day! A new way to do time-accurate spike prediction. Come for the 🐓 🐸 spikes, stay for the fancy AI!

We are looking forward to attending ICN2024 in Berlin next week. As always, all our posters are available on our lab website here: badenlab.org/posters/ Check them out at your leisure!

Ongoing #OpenScience workshop on building the #OpenFlexure microscope led by Dr. @[email protected] from SussexNeuro. Grateful for the support from CZI Science and Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. #BioRTC2024

🤩Check out this short interview with our own Artemis Koumoundourou about her work at TReND "I think a supportive work environment is key to cushioning the stress that comes with working on such a large-scale initiative."

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 !

#zebrafish peeps: Can anyone recommend a high quality fluorescence-enabled stereoscope with camera (for screening & taking pretty pics) that does not break the bank? We need a new one and so far all quotes have been pretty outrageous. Thanks!
