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).

And for those at #SfN, come say hi at the #Neuropixels booth (Number 3731) or at my Poster 👋.

Happy Neuropixeling!

I think it's all very exciting! But for those who attended this course before, the analysis is a new addition, so probably that day!

Brainwide blood volume reflects opposing neural populations

Brainwide fluctuations in blood volume arise from two populations with opposite relation to brain state and distinct relationships to blood supply

Many of us use 2p scopes to image 3D volumes of brain. But then we analyze the data plane by plane, resulting in duplicated neurons, missed neurons, and low s/n. Let's go 3D!

I think the best part of working in an international environment are the yearly discussions on Pancake day. "Who invented the pancake?" And "should it be waffle day instead, like in part of the Netherlands" cause some serious debates!
