Viral labeling of projection neurons in the mouse brain with green fluorescence protein

For #FluorescenceFriday - experiment was apparently a stereotaxic injection "miss", but resulted in a lovely image nevertheless. Credit to @rphillips3.bsky.social and JHU undergrad Natalia Gonzalez-Perez 🧠🔬🧪

Fluorescent microscopy image showing bright red neurons

Some #FluorescenceFriday content for you - check out these anterior cingulate cortex neurons that project to the superior colliculus. Image by @izzabellagreen.bsky.social 🧠

A favorite recent image of some busy microglia, lovingly named the Rat King (yellow CD68, pink Iba1, blue DAPI) for my first #FluorescenceFriday

A glittery, festive #FluorescenceFriday today, spent playing with some fun samples 🪩🕺

Dimensionality reduction may be the wrong approach to understanding neural representations. Our new paper shows that across human visual cortex, dimensionality is unbounded and scales with dataset size—we show this across nearly four orders of magnitude. journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol...

Amazing talk by my dear colleague and friend @albertdm.bsky.social and his supervisor @maweigert.bsky.social showing the cool things you can do with Spotiflow at #CBIAS2025. Look at this beautiful learned spot detection in 3D! 👩🏻‍💻👩🏻‍💻🔬 #bioimageanalysis #spotdetection

#SfN2025 Qingqing is presenting this work on spatial predictive coding NOW at poster Q9!

#sfn2025 interested in how eye movements 👀 versus orofacial movements influence 🐭 visual cortex activity 🧠? Check out poster R8 by @atika-syeda.bsky.social NOW!

Still at SfN on the last day? During the morning session on the 19th, 8:00AM - 12:00PM, come check out our posters from the Moser, Zong, and Gonzalo Cogno groups in row QQ ('Grid cells and spatially modulated cells'). Ephys, imaging, remapping, development, sweeps and more! 🧠
Detailed thread below 👇

Happening now! Come see Jorge Ramirez present our recent work showing that Purkinje cell nonlinear mixed selectivity facilitates flexible readouts of locomotor coordination 🐭 🧠🚶‍♂️ #SfN25 Board W6

Watching this literal magic tech take shape has been one of my favorite parts of being in this group - a plausible path to real actual naturalistic life-scale experiments.

Good morning #SfN. Want to chat about chronic Neuropixels or tracking? Find me today at the #Neuropixels booth (3731) from 11 to 12! And if you're still around tomorrow afternoon, come talk about distributed coding in navigation at my poster tomorrow afternoon (RR16).

Small watercolor science inspired paintings

Amazingly, I still have some itty bitty paintings left on day four. Come find me in the sails Pavilion at #sfn today until 4:00

#SfN #SocietyForGlia
STARTING NOW!

Ending strong with the last www.liddelowlab.com presentations of the week.

@pryprk.bsky.social
talking about a world first mouse model for XDP... and OLIGODENDROCYTES!

@melcooperphd.bsky.social
presenting on astrocyte networks in the mouse forebrain.

#sfn2025 posters 4 and 5 today: our collaborator Nitsan Goldstein shares some of our work on suppression of pain in PBN with Nick Betley, and grad student Ryan Lu shares his work modeling swim dynamics in the jellyfish nervous system with Brady Weissbourd

Claudia and Zeena posters are today! DD16 in the morning and HH2 in the afternoon #SfN2025 #SfN

Snapshot of poster conclusions.

Friends at #SFN25: Want to know more about how seeing is transformed into familiarity? Check out Simon Bohn's poster this afternoon (Board P9; PSTR224.03).

There, he'll tell you about a pardox and its resolution - along with a previously undescribed computation in the medial temporal lobe.

We ate well last night (in a tent, indoors, with s'mores for dessert), and are energized to talk science today at #SfN2025. Come visit our posters:

LLMs get a lot of attention but if you are interested in the original (allegedly) stochastic parrots come to my poster Tuesday where I will present new work on the natural vocal behavior or parrots and its cortical control #Sfn2025 #SfN25

So excited to present my poster about effects of Vagus Nerve Stimulation on post-stroke cortical activity 🧠⚡Find me at PSTR332.08 next Tue, Nov 18 PM at #SfN2025.
#Neuroskyence

are you a @neuromatch.bsky.social student, TA, mentor, impact scholar, ambassador, volunteer at #SfN #SfN2025 #SfN25--or you're here & just want to say hi? come by our booth, meet some of the team, meet each other!

& look out for other neuromatchers across SfN... there are literally 1000s of us!

Massive FOMo seeing the posts of people heading to #SfN2025, all that beach...ehm.. science I’m missing 😭

If you’re there, go say hi to the brilliant Bruno Pilcher and the INSS crew, who just built my lab a custom multiphoton microscope with a spatial light modulator that is pure chef’s kiss 👨‍🍳💋✨
