- @guidomeijer.com has #neuropixels preprocessing worked out for you!
- Do you do Neuropixel recordings and are you struggling with preprocessing? The Power Pixels pipeline is an easy-to-use pipeline from raw data to neural activity of single neurons in specified brain regions 🧠 Now on bioRxiv! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Beautiful use of comics for skillful science communication of a complex & nuanced topic, by @dr-appie.bsky.social & @lizahaart.bsky.social. 🧬🧪👇

- Reposted by Francesco BattagliaI'm excited to share another project we've been working on: The Transmitter's first book, which includes some of our favorite essays from our first ~9 months. Download a copy here: www.thetransmitter.org/transmitter-...
- These essays offer the neuroscience community a place to explore the culture and practice of the field; to debate major questions; to examine the craft of neuroscience; and to trace its evolution over time. Download the book now: www.thetransmitter.org/transmitter-...

- Reposted by Francesco Battaglia(recycled from X) My favorite take on LLM intelligence is by Paul Cisek on the connectionists mailing list: "We are like a bunch of professional magicians (...) wondering: 'Maybe there really is magic? I think it’s not that machines have passed the Turing Test, but rather that we failed it." 🔥

- Reposted by Francesco BattagliaApplications are open for our Summer Workshop in the Dynamic Brain!! This is a two week computational neuroscience course for grad students and postdocs. Check it out!! alleninstitute.org/events/summe...
- Reposted by Francesco BattagliaI love how many brain signals that people thought were related to cognition are actually just related to breathing lol nice work everyone this is going great
- Reposted by Francesco BattagliaOur new study is out on BioRXiv! tinyurl.com/pfcmap We (@carlenlab.bsky.social lab) mapped the mouse PFC using single-unit activity! We recorded ~23,000 neurons across cortical/subcortical regions and profiled spont. firing patterns to reveal what separates the PFC from other brain regions. 1/n

- Reposted by Francesco BattagliaZotero is great and I think that anyone who needs to organise and cite more than a handful of references should be using it. Here's an intro to Zotero that I made for my undergrad students (but the info is relevant for anyone new to Zotero). Full vid [13 mins]: youtu.be/SlUHjOqVCyU Preview ⬇️
