New paper out in @CellReports! Led by @susie_feng, we found that chronic epilepsy in mice drives distinct synchronization deficits in hippocampus and MEC, with early changes in HPC and late-onset changes in MEC that align with progressive memory deficits. cell.com/cell-reports/fullte…

NEW PREPRINT! Led by @susie_feng, we characterized memory impairment and entorhinal-hippocampal desynchronization in epileptic mice. We found early hippocampal deficits and late-onset MEC deficits that emerged with progressively worse cognitive impairment. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) causes pervasive and progressive memory impairments, yet the specific circuit changes that drive these deficits remain unclear. To investigate how hippocampal-entorhinal...

BREAKING: Ke Huy Quan just won an #Oscar at the Academy Awards for best supporting actor for his role in 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' "Mom, I just won an Oscar!!" For those unaware Ke Huy Quan spent a year with his family in a Hong Kong refugee camp before arriving in the United States of America in 1979. What an incredible comeback and incredible story.

〰️New preprint alert!〰️ Say hello to PhaSER: an open-source tool that you (yes, you!) can use to perform real-time phase-estimation and phase-specific manipulations. Here we show that PhaSER can directly manipulate the phase-locking of SOM+ interneurons in awake, behaving mice!

I got a check-in email from my advisor saying, " I haven't heard from you in a while - how are you doing?" Find a supportive advisor, and it makes a huge difference. Choose a Ph.D. program based on advisor and support, not ranking. @AcademicChatter @Momademia

Since this is the first in-person SfN in years, can we start a jobs thread to help folks find potential fits? If you're hiring, or if you're looking for a job (tech, student, postdoc) in neuroscience soon, chime in below #sfn22 also goes for ppl not attending in-person :)

Great to have this @igisci @UCBerkeley study out in Nature Biomedical Engineering @natBME! We develop and integrate an extraction-free, attomolar-sensitivity CRISPR diagnostic test into a microfluidic cartridge and real-time detection device capable of detecting any RNA sequence

This paper with @xiechong has dragged long, as students & postdocs left and started their own labs. My excitement revived the moment it gets online. So proud of what we can do now in house and excited for the future! nature.com/articles/s41551-0…

Do you ever wonder if the anatomical position of hippocampal CA1 neurons relates to its major cortical outputs and memory function? In this preprint, we take a dive into how CA1 structure informs function! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 1/
