Great to see our summer science at @mblscience.bsky.social featured by @open-ephys.org! A first step into the neuroscience of regeneration - with much more to come.

Butterflies and axolotls: our acquisition systems had a busy summer at the MBL @mblscience.bsky.social ! 🦋🧠 This year, we supported Grass Fellow Jack Supple and Whitman Fellow Angelo Forli @aforli89.bsky.social with Open Ephys acquisition boards. Here’s what they’ve been up to.

Back from an unforgettable Whitman Fellowship at @mblscience.bsky.social - with neural recordings from the axolotl! 🧠🦎 We’re taking this forward in my lab, and I’m hiring. Interested? Get in touch! Thanks @thorlabs.bsky.social, Coherent and @open-ephys.org for loaning their equipment. More soon!

Excited to share a new review by @kocherlab.bsky.social and me: Nature-inspired neuroscience We discuss diverse sensory systems and behaviors across the animal kingdom and argue for their integration into neuroscience. New tools in diverse systems are making this possible ✨ tinyurl.com/y5y9du27

For decades, imaging has forced the same trade-off: Set a frame rate → sacrifice resolution or field of view to go fast. We break that rule Using an EVENT-BASED CAMERA, we record neural activity without frames. Signals are captured only where and when they occur: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

biorxiv.orgUltrafast Frame-Free Imaging of Neural Activity with Event CamerasFrame-based fluorescence imaging has long defined how neural activity is optically measured. This approach requires acquiring all pixels within an image, regardless of whether they carry meaningful ne...

Special thanks to @braininspired.bsky.social for mentioning event cameras in a podcast a few years ago, when they were still off my radar! And many many thanks to all the people involved in the project!

Our study is out in Nature! Using wireless Neuropixels we recorded hippocampal activity in freely flying bats and uncovered replay and theta(less) sweeps, revealing striking differences from classic rodent models. 👉 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
