#SFN2018 Great point made by Pat Meheny (extraordinary improviser): that the study of an ensemble of musicians improvising on stage is a highly credible and maybe even ideal setting in which to study human consciousness. Medi Neuros

Thanks to the Society for Neuroscience and our outstanding moderators for such a brilliant choice for this year's "Dialogues" lecture! This session was as inspiring as it was informative and intellectually stimulating! Society for Neuroscience (SfN) @Neurosci2018

#SFN2018 Ann Graybiel's presentation today was really inspiring! So deserving of the Gruber Prize! I especially appreciated her pursuit of circuit-level mechanisms that would seem to explain the results of behavioral experiments. Looking forward to leaning more! Medi Neuros


#SfN2018 S. Viswanathan just gave an incredibly clear and compelling talk on layer 5 neurons in mouse motor cortex that are distinguished in terms of subcortical projections, laminar localization, genetic expression, and behavioral relevance. Medi Neuros

#SfN2018 This morning @Neurosci2018 featured a stunning set of talks on what is now possible with whole organ and even whole body clearing of tissue to enable light-sheet microscopy. These methods are revealing unprecedented views of cells and circuits in the CNS. Medi Neuros
