Do I know anyone who knows anyone who has the ZDF rat strain (Zucker Diabetic Fatty rats) in Europe?
These are the hooded rats with a leptin receptor mutation, where some get very fat and diabetic. We have trouble in our colony and are looking to add some new blood.

Dear #neuromastodon - I'm joining the University of Delaware's department of Psychological & Brain Sciences​. My lab will explore the interaction of memory and perception. I will recruit 1-2 PhD students to begin in fall of 2025. I will be at #BernsteinConference and #SfN24, and excited to chat about possibilities. More infos on http://schottdorflab.com! Plz boost 🔬

O man... I thought that the OpenEphys ONIX system was just a new kind of headstage that works with most of their old hardware.

Does anyone have an ONIX? Is it worth it for just multichannel LFP or tetrode recordings?

I'm excited to share a new publication from my graduate work!

In this opinion piece, we describe a new idea about how the brain represents more than one object - by having neurons switch their activity over time. This new idea has implications across a wide range of other areas of neuroscience, including how parts of objects come together to form a whole, and how we select what to pay attention to in busy environments.

Meredith Schmehl, PhD! Thank you to everyone who came to support me at my defense today, both in person and on Zoom! Looking forward to sharing my work more broadly in a few publications over the next several months.

#PhDone #PhinisheD #Neuroscience #NeuroMastodon

I’m excited to share our new paper exploring how several visual brain areas respond to multiple objects! We found that neurons in a variety of visual areas use a fluctuating activity pattern to preserve information about objects, especially when the objects can be distinguished from one another or when they compete for the same neural resources. I’m excited to have the story out as a supplement to my primary PhD work!

New preprint with @jmgrohneuro and more! Neurons in several visual areas show fluctuating responses in the presence of multiple objects. An important general finding with potential connections to object formation!

I’ve been thinking about it for a very long time and here it is: #psychoSoph has a #KoFi page now where you can support the comic! ✨ What waits for you there? 🧵

https://ko-fi.com/psychosoph

You can just follow me, give a one-time tip (or every time a chapter goes online) or even get a membership where you support me monthly. 🧠 With this you help me keep the psychoSoph website running.

In NYC for the annual meeting of the Parkinson Progression Markers Initiative; presenting important work on #diversity (or lack thereof) in clinical trials and how to understand things from the patient's perspective. Grateful for the opportunity to be a small part of this incredible effort!

Nature introduces Registered Reports as an article type for cognitive neuroscience and the behavioural and social sciences. This approach assesses the research question and methods over the results, to help tackle the publication bias against negative results.

#psychoSoph will stay freely accessible but the website also produces costs. Would you be willing to support me on Ko-fi, even if I cannot upload monthly at the moment?

#psychoSoph bleibt weiter frei zugänglich, aber der Betrieb der Webseite produziert Kosten. Wärt ihr bereit mich auf Ko-fi zu unterstützen, auch wenn ich derzeit nicht monatlich hochladen kann?
