How does the brain balance learning new things without overwriting what it already knows? Our new paper tackles this long-standing stability–plasticity dilemma during active navigation. With @Adrinnenberg from the @KarlDeisseroth lab. (1/8)

Check out this preprint and also go see Tony at her poster in San Diego (Sunday morning: LBP020.05/LBP041)
What if we could watch AND control thousands of individual neurons in behaving mice—with stable access over months? 🧠⚡ Our new preprint introduces transgenic all-optical tools that make this possible - and a resulting surprising discovery! 🔭💡

This would not have been possible without their new mouse lines. Check out this preprint for more information: doi.org/10.1101/2025.10.21.6…

What is the nature of sensory prediction error signals in neocortex and the circuit-mechanisms underlying them? Genuinely thrilled to see this epic effort from Shohei Furutachi in my and @TFlogel's lab out on @biorxivpreprint: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…

I'm super excited to share my postdoc work with @lisa_giocomo, "Parahippocampal neurons encode task-relevant information for goal-directed navigation". ¼

Looking for neural data to analyze? You can find our electrophysiology and imaging data sets (+code/methods) on our lab website! Thousands of neurons, mostly from medial entorhinal cortex and hippocampus, recorded/imaged in behaving mice #openscience

We are looking for a Postdoc and a PhD student!
Get in touch if you are interested in starting a project at the interface between spatial navigation and the visual system:
beltramolab.org
For PhD candidates, the application deadline is the beginning of January 2023.

We are paying $3400 for infant daycare at Harvard. In 2017 as a first year postdoc, this is higher than my post tax salary. It does not make sense financially to work as a postdoc and to raise a kid. You wonder why some women quit science at this point??
Did you know:
UCSF daycare is $2800/mo for infants? 😳😳😳
A UCSF 2bedroom is $2779/mo
$5579/mo in just rent and daycare 🤯
To afford rent, daycare, and everything else, I have a 2x90min commute and live 30miles away from campus.
It is very difficult.

The Wolff Lab is hiring! Ever wondered if rats can learn to play beach volleyball (or other cool skills)? Looking for a postdoc position and want to find out? Check out our research on motor skill learning and hit me up at #sfn2022 or send me an email!

Our work showing that the locus coeruleus broadcasts unsigned visuomotor prediction errors to facilitate cortical sensorimotor learning is now on bioRxiv! A short thread of the main findings. @georg98keller

Interested in freely moving recordings using Neuropixels? I'm releasing the build files, code, parts lists, and detailed protocols for my chronic recoverable implant in mice design 🐭 emilyjon.es/resources/
