Congratulations to you both! Welcome to the Rising Stars family! 🎉

We hope this approach can provide new insights into neural circuit architecture across the brain and look forward to seeing where it goes next! 🔬🧠

So excited to announce our preprint describing a high-throughput method for mapping connectivity across neuron types! Using a combination of optogenetics, voltage imaging, and mFISH in over 1000 neurons, we describe new connectivity motifs in long-range inputs to the motor cortex.

Thanks, Kenji! You're fast! :)

Thanks for sharing, Ann! This was a great read. Dan's lab was a great place to learn and grow - even for a then-undergrad like me

Separating cognitive and motor processes in the behaving mouse Nature Neuroscience - Using a novel method for isolating cognitive and motor neural dynamics, the authors show that dynamics often attributed to cognitive processes were corrupted by movements and...

Really proud and excited to share the final version of our paper, co-led by the Bluesky-less Munib Hasnain!!

We asked whether cognitive and motor neural dynamics can be isolated from one another, or whether they’re driven by common neural mechanisms 1/n

We're making a Czech dish called Svíčková (beef tenderloin with a creamy root vegetable sauce). It's a very festive dish, but definitely not a turkey

The Leading Edge Fellows starter pack is now up to 101 Leading Edge Fellows! If you haven't checked it out recently, there are lots of fabulous new postdocs and new PIs to follow!

Thank you for making this pack! Now that I'm on a BRAIN K99, it'll be great to keep in the loop with the rest of the community :)

High-speed multiplane confocal microscopy for voltage imaging in densely labeled neuronal populations - Nature Neuroscience A multiplane confocal microscope provides high-contrast volumetric imaging at kilohertz rates. This system enables imaging of densely expressed genetically encoded voltage indicators with cellular res...

Hi #neuroskyence- I'm a postdoc fellow @ BU and the 2024 Henry Grass Rising Star awardee. I apply new voltage imaging strategies and thick-tissue spatial transcriptomics to understand how diverse cell types are functionally connected.

From Boston, MA, saludos! Thank you for compiling this group!

Looking forward to trying out this new platform, and learning about everyone's cutting edge science! For my part, here's my 16-gene mFISH composite image of the mouse motor cortex. I love the diversity of neuron types! #neuroscience #microscopy
