F Crick proposed synaptic protein interactions maintain memory despite molecular turnover. The Sacktor & Fenton labs with collaborators find postsynaptic scaffold KIBRA and persistent kinase PKMζ interact to maintain LTP and memory for at least 1 month! urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2…
Thrilled that @HannahPaynePhD will join the NYU community as an Asst Prof jointly in @NYU_CNS and @NYUPsych! Will be awesome to see her investigations of one-shot episodic memory mechanisms by exploiting the neurophysiology of active vision and food caching memories in chickadees
Job Alert!💥 Join our integrative neuroscience working across levels of biology in single subject data sets.
@SteMartiniani & I develop multiscale #ML approaches to reveal the biomolecular networks responsible for memory storage and persistence in brain jobrxiv.org/job/new-york-uni…

💥Job Alert!💥 Join me and Andre Fenton @aa_fenton at @NYU_CNS @nyu_csmr @nyuniversity to develop multiscale ML approaches to reveal the biomolecular networks responsible for memory storage and persistence in the mammalian brain! 🧠 jobrxiv.org/job/new-york-uni…
January 1992 in Prague Jan Bureš told me about place cells, and turned me into a scientist. This Perspective reminds us that such neurons don’t respond to stimuli. Network discharge (and knowledge) is internally-organized but interdependent on the world nature.com/articles/s41583-0…
Been years since my last post - here’s big news… Excited to announce that @StephenXZhang will join the community of our CNS faculty @NYU_CNS to launch his independent research program! Ready to support and collaborate to help Stephen discover rules of biomolecular computation!

Today I spoke up at a #FENS2022 discussion event about pandemic effects on mentoring. I spoke about my frustration regarding transmission mitigation at the meeting. I sorta highjacked the discussion and I'm sorry about that, but I just couldn't not say anything and 1/n
Excited for our new colleague Alex Williams @ItsNeuronal, the progress he’s making on fundamental problems, and how our community is growing at @NYU_CNS. We are hiring - join and belong xitter.cf/nyu_cns/status/1458177…
MAIN 2021 is delighted to announce that Alex H. Williams @ItsNeuronal from NYU & Flatiron Institute will be giving a talk entitled: "Principled methods for comparing neural representations across biological and artificial networks".
Please RT!

Hah! I remain petty - Now many may know who is Kaminsky! He’s a wonderful and rare soul! Folks check out the failures channel - for inspiration if nothing else!!
I'm so glad you participated Andre! Your story is fabulous. I've now uploaded it to our newly-minted "Great Scientists, Great Failures" YouTube channel:

What can learning to focus do for your brain? @ain_chung @cg_jou @DinoDvorak @EliottLevy @AlexGrau92 and Nida, an intrepid team of hero neurobiologists focused on finding out. We followed the data that surprised at almost every turn. Proud of y'all rdcu.be/cBayM

Credit goes to Megan Hagenauer. Maybe during the discussion, she'll tell the incredible story of the trials and tribulations it took to get it here. Proud to be a part of of it. Come join us for some stories of absurdity, humor, stress, pathos... and failure. #SfN21
A02 - 50th Storytelling Session - Oh Sh*t - Great Scientists Tell Stories About Their Greatest Failures - How did I agree to this? Never thought I would shout out loud, much less in Twitter "Hey everybody, come find out how I screwed up, really pretty bad!" (very personal story)
This is a pure career accelerant! The program is all about giving opportunity for early career scientists to find their research stride and launch their independence. You can’t get the benefits if you don’t apply! Families embraced!!
Calling all early career neuroscientists 🧠 — Apply for a 2022 @GrassFoundation Fellowship at the MBL by Dec. 5, 2021! go.mbl.edu/Grass
ALT Grass Fellowships in Neuroscience | Independent Summer Research Opportunities at the Marine Biological Laboratory. Grass Fellowships at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, support investigator-designed, independent research projects by scientists early in their career. Supported approaches include neurophysiology, biophysics, integrative neurobiology, neuroethology, neuroanatomy, neuropharmacology, systems neuroscience, cellular and developmental neurobiology, and computational approaches to neural systems. The Foundation also has a longstanding interest in epilepsy-related research. Apply By Dec. 5, 2021 go.mbl.edu/Grass
1-wk late to the party, but here now! I got together in zoom and google docs with @KamranKhodakhah @annmclemens to figure out helpful advice we wish we had and would share with our younger aspiring selves and y'all! Navigating clues to success in academia cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S08…
Super cool and creative neuroscience with a super cool creative new PI
