TL;DR New preprint with discovery: many interneuron types in the fly visual system function as highly specific normalizers. x.com/SebastianSeung…

In all the drama over Biden, & all the mockery of Trump's unhinged (yet super-boring) convention speech, I haven't seen much attention to the language of climate politics during the Republican Convention. But the GOP did unveil new climate propaganda, so let's take a look! 🧵

Venn diagrams are the best!

Come join us in San Diego! A great department, a great public university, and the surfing is not bad (so I'm told)

Wow

Congrats to Hinton (who was a postdoc in Cognitive Science at UCSD!) and Hopfield, whose papers attracted (!) me to neuroscience as a physics student. Discipline boundaries are not real!

UCSD admitted an unexpectedly large class this Fall and apus is crowded. Thankfully the new signage helps... good luck crossing the street everyone! Maybe just stay in your office instead

Unbelievable

There are days in life that shake you. I’m shattered 💔 to share that I just found out that the US Government terminated my 2024 NIH Director’s Early Independence Award (~$2 million), threatening my long-promised assistant professor job at Columbia University & academic career... 1/🧵

Why are older individuals more prone to neurodegenerative diseases? Very excited to share our new #bioRxiv from Joe Ecker. We study age-related epigenetic changes in the brain, highlighting on cell-type-specific transposon demethylation and TAD remodeling. We also present a deep

As Eran Mukamel and Yu point out, #methodsmatter. They are spot on here: nature.com/articles/s4158…

Remember to adjust for multiple comparisons when searching for memory-encoding neuronal regulation! nature.com/articles/s4158…

When we came to see our destroyed labs hit by an Iranian missile, we found that a piano had survived Weizmann Institute
