Very excited to finally have this work out! A big thank you to everyone who contributed, or just got coffee with me and supported me throughout the years. Also thank you to the birds without whom we wouldn’t have discovered these cells migrate in such a wacky way

An excellently written Spotlight about our recent work :) Thank you so much, Carolyn!

Do bakers daydream about leaving their job to do a PhD in molecular biology?

We present Cheese3D, a system to sensitively track 3D movement of the entire face in lab mice. First #preprint from the lab! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/n

There should be a Science Olympics where we watch people do hard experiments

Thrilled to announce the latest study from our lab, spearheaded by Ph.D student, Ellie Brown (Ellie Hope Brown)! See below for a summary of the main findings. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Me when my experiment works. Vs when it doesn’t (most of the time)

Proud to share our paper in nature that Andrei and I co-first authored with Tom Mrsic-Flogel SWC We recorded ~15000 neurons across the brain while mice made perceptual decisions to reveal how sensory evidence controls actions through global neural dynamics nature.com/articles/s4158…

neuroscience paper in 2045: "we recorded 5 million neurons in V1 with Neuropixels 9.0 probes while head-fixed mice watched Gabor flickers..."

Since we're talking about funding of absurd research by NIH and other federal agencies, the funded scientists: - watching flies fuck - giving rats massages - spending years digging into why jellyfish glow - tracking penguin poop from space - using horseshoe crab blood

has reviewer 2 considered that I’m trying my best

Kicking off the new year with our new paper in nature! We find that touch-guided tongue control in mice relies on a collicular mechanosensorimotor map, analogous to collicular visuomotor maps associated with visually-guided orienting in many species. nature.com/articles/s4158…

A big "thank you" to the students and postdocs who joined us last week HHMI | Janelia for the Junior Scientist Workshop on Mechanistic Cognitive Neuroscience! 🧠

Had a blast at Janelia last week participating in the Junior Scientist Workshop on Mechanistic Cognitive Neuroscience 🧠

Doing science today feels like playing a video game on legendary difficulty. With shrinking budgets, extreme publication fees, subjective rejections, and daily lab chaos, the path of a scientist is tougher than ever. At least we have Parafilm to hold it all together. Stay strong!

🚨I’m excited to share that the first piece of my postdoc work with Mark Howe is out! 🧵⬇️nature.com/articles/s4146…

Our work is officially online now! 🥳🥳Maxwell D. Melin Gabriel Rojas-Bowe Anne Churchland Key points: 1st, we found that, consistent with previous studies, consecutive trials within behavioral sessions of a decision-making task can be divided into engaged and disengaged states. (1/8)
