We are excited to invite all female neuroscience graduate students to our FIRST IN-PERSON national meeting, taking place in the upcoming #ISFN! 🤩 We will be hosting Prof. Merav Ahissar, Dr. Lilach Avitan and Dr. Meital Oren-Suissa who will tell us about their career and personal paths.


At last! Now out in Nature Communications: a simple & ultra-low-cost #openhardware approach to upgrade 'basic' 2P scopes for mesoscale 3D random access imaging. /w Filip K Janiak Philipp Bartel Michael Bale Takeshi Yoshimatsu Kevin Staras Lucia Prieto @teulerlab Miguel Maravall rdcu.be/cFOSC



Recently revealed properties of spontaneous activity in sensory areas suggest a new functional role. What is this activity for? We looked across species and development for answers with Carsen Stringer @[email protected] in Neuron 🐭🐟🤠🪰: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S08… ELSC Brain


Does spontaneous activity in sensory cortices contribute to neural coding? Carsen Stringer Carsen Stringer @[email protected] & Lilach Avitan cover recent work in various developing and mature animals, and map out new roles for spontaneous activity in this #Perspective: cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

These findings suggest >120my-old developmental programs likely essential for healthy brain wiring. Thanks to a team of stars 🤩 Tobias Bluett @MHMcCullough Lilach Avitan @DylanABlack Annalisa Paolino Laura Fenlon PhD Geoff Goodhill and Linda Richards pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Excited to share! Whole-brain imaging during real-time social interaction uncovers a neural signature predicting social actions and individual differences. #SocialNeuroscience #SocialBehavior #Zebrafish Imri Lifshitz ELSC Brain biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

How do animals stay precise when their whole brain heats up or cools down? Larval zebrafish hunt accurately across a 10°C range. What enables such stability? What mechanism might support it? #zebrafish #neuroscience #temperature Shai Tishby Tamari ELSC Brain doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…
