I’m happy to share some plugins I’ve been developping this summer: "Channels and Contrast" and LUTs Manager!
I can’t find new bugs and ideas by now so I need your help to please test them in your machines and report bugs, feedbacks and ideas! forum.image.sc/t/looking-fo...

All-optical voltage interrogation for probing synaptic plasticity in vivo - Nature Communications Reliable measuring the voltage dynamics of individual neurons in the intact brain is significantly challenging. Here authors developed an all-optical method combining two-photon voltage imaging and optogenetics to measure and induce synaptic plasticity in vivo, revealing LTP of inhibition in cerebellar circuits and providing a blueprint to link synaptic changes to learning.

Using a new genetically-encoded voltage indicator in an all-optical approach to measure synaptic plasticity in awake behaving mice. Great work by @jacquescarolan.bsky.social and colleagues. Check out www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I haven’t used HumSilencer, these devices may help give better recordings/traces, I don’t recommend them, it’s always better to work out and minimize noise directly. Occasionally noise sources may be ungroundable (once had a manipulator that had 20 kHz noise + harmonics from a stepper motor).

Appearing on the BBC Today programme at 7:40 am in the morning to discuss biocomputers - making computers out of cerebral organoids .

Who would have thought that school actually works ;-)

A rather 'unique' paper from our lab is online in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social now. Unique in the sense that I don't think anyone else will be rushing to optotag cortical interneurons in the early postnatal brain... because it is nigh on impossible!
