Ten simple Rules for making good Oral presentation

May is Bike to Work Month! 🚴‍♀️☀️ A few OMRF employees participated in their own version of Bike to Work Day this morning ending with breakfast, coffee and good times!

Paul Graham on how to do great work

Happy to see my thesis work out today in nature! nature.com/articles/s4158… Josh Merel Jesse Marshall lhq Yuval Tassa Ugne Klibaite Amanda Gellis Greg Wayne Matt Botvinick @BOlveczky Google DeepMind Video credit to the talented Kristian J Herrera

I'm thrilled to share our last work directed by @HlneMarie10 published in #neuron. We discovered a new and exciting modulator of #NMDA receptor activity. This is so exciting ☺️! CNRS 🌍 IPMC Université Côte d'Azur cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

Very excited for this paper to be out in Neuron . We opto stimulated specific inputs to the VTA and used snRNAseq to identify which neuronal subclusters were activated by each input. A fantastic collaboration with Rhiana C Simon, PhD and Stuber Lab cell.com/neuron/abstrac…

👉This is the first study to record the synaptic currents generated by single identified direct or indirect pathway striatal neurons on single pallidal neurons. 🖱️ow.ly/csea50SfNlo @jaumsjauns #Striatum #ExternalGlobusPallidus #BasalGanglia

Most important message for scientists to share with the general public! Thanks Cajal, The Nobel Prize.

A ghostly dopamine neuron emerges.

Very best thing I did this week was to listen to a lecture on the history of the AP and bioelectricity by @UW_PBIO Prof. Bertil Hille. He is always clear and inspiring!!! His name should appear in red in the title: if you listen, you will know what I mean. pbio.uw.edu/bertil-hille-s…

Recent paper from the Beckstead lab: Impact of Unitary Synaptic Inhibition on Spike Timing in Ventral Tegmental Area Dopamine Neurons Mike Beckstead eneuro.org/content/11/7/E…

Hot-rodded vintage electron microscopes, around-the-clock shifts at the lab, huddles by a digital fireplace — and petabytes of brain connectivity data to show for it all. Glimpse our #electronmicroscopy team's tremendous work as part of the collaborative MICrONS program.

Congrats to Kylene Harold of the Humphries lab for winning a “William C. Stanley” Early Investigator award at the Society of Heart and Vascular Metabolism meeting in St. Louis! Kylene Harold Ken Humphries Society for Heart and Vascular Metabolism

“While applied research appears to be in the ascendancy at the moment, it is important to remember that without an equal and ongoing commitment to basic science, there would soon be nothing to translate into applications.” doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

How can we train biophysical neuron models on data or tasks? We built Jaxley, a differentiable, GPU-based biophysics simulator, which makes this possible even when models have thousands of parameters! Led by Michael Deistler, collab with @CellTypist @ppjgoncalves biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Patched locus coeruleus norepinephrine neurons all morning and ventricular cardiomyocytes all afternoon.

I dedicate this video to the fly that gave her life for science, but will live forever in silico. She has supercharged the discoveries of the #FlyWire Consortium, and propels us into the digital transformation of neuroscience. Protip: watch with audio on. youtube.com/watch?v=RQuYaM…

If you’re interested in slice electrophysiology, synaptic dysfunction, or Alzheimer’s disease, come see my talk at #SfN24 in S404 at 2pm on Saturday! Society for Neuroscience (SfN)

Thanks Mike! It was a great first SfN, and I’m glad I was able to present our work.

Dopamine, the brain’s so-called “feel-good” chemical, appears to play a significant role in Alzheimer’s disease, OMRF scientist Dr. Mike Beckstead found in a groundbreaking new study. 🧠 Read more: omrf.org/2024/11/12/omr…
