I'm psyched to share that my PhD paper is now out in @NeuroCellPress ! It's also my first paper as both first author and corresponding author, which means even more to me! 🥳 Thank my partner @ChiChiehLee_tw for her contribution to the most adorable ever graphic abstract 🥰

Excited to share the first paper from our lab! tinyurl.com/5n7fvwvh We engineered a new kind of time-gated calcium integrator, CaST, that can rapidly and non-invasively tag activated neurons in vivo with a small, biochemical handle. What makes this tool special and unique? 1/6

Excited to share my PhD work in @pgolshani 's lab designing and building low-cost miniature 2P microscopes with everyone! They cost < $10k USD (even at low production runs), are fitted with 2 on-board SiPM detectors, and are completely open-source! 1/5 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Population representation drift? No thanks. There exist invariable single-cell candidates of long-term memory engram in auditory cortex. Great thanks and congratulations to the join team's persistent work, which will keep going on for a very long time! nature.com/articles/s4146…

1/n The best understood parts of thalamus link our skin, tongue, eyes, ears to cerebral cortex. What does the rest of thalamus do? Gordon Petty now shows that secondary “tactile” and “visual” thalamus respond better to important events than their own senses! (Image SG Kene) 🧵

A paper in @Nature suggests that bumblebees can teach others new behaviours too complex for them to learn alone. In the study, a bee taught to solve a puzzle for a sugary reward can go on to train other bees to complete the task. go.nature.com/49Fbxwp

Researchers just developed DeWave- an AI system that can turn silent thoughts into text by decoding brain signals. The system achieved over 40% accuracy in translating verbs directly from neural signals, without the need for invasive implants.
