As we are waiting for our team to finalise the selection of this year’s participants, we would like to take the opportunity to create awareness on an issue that arose almost two years ago in Africa and has not received enough attention from the media: The civil war in Sudan. /n

This stunning #MicroscopyMonday is an adult fly #brain, labeled in orange is the mushroom body, the memory center in flies, and the neurons on the sides are part of the medulla of the eye, essential for color vision. @Cheliuzz (Si Lab) 🧠

Happy to announce that we are organizing the 4th #MexFly meeting in #MexicoCity! This event will be onsite and in Spanish, but we are also hosting a video session: "MexFly around the world". If you know a Mexican scientist working with #Drosophila, please share this w/them (1/4)

23 pairs! The magic chromosome count that helps humans thrive. But what if all our DNA were arranged in just two chromosomes? In this study, we explore this question using budding yeast. 🧵 (1/6) cell.com/current-biology/ful…

Against the trend of making increasingly complicated models, we found that a rather simple (thus explainable) model can predict V1 neurons, across different modalities (ephys and 2p) and different animal models (mice and monkeys). Read more here -v
🚨Preprint‼️ 1/ Predicting neural activity is notoriously difficult and requires complicated models. Here we develop simple “minimodels” which explain 70% of neural variance in V1! 🐭🐒 #neuroai @computingnature @marius10p @NunezKant Paper: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… Recording 🔬 :
