We’re thrilled to announce that registration is now open for the 6th edition (on March 2025) of the Paris School on All-Optical Neuronal Circuits Control with Optogeentics and Multiphoton Microscopy! Join us and explore the latest breakthroughs with an outstanding lineup of experts covering cutting-edge techniques and hands-on practical demonstrations @3i_inc @dim_elicit on: holographic light shaping, 1P and 2P optogenetics @ClaireWyart @zenith_etn and voltage imaging @MichaelLinLab, 2P mini-scopes @WikiZong, 2P fiber-based endoscopy @NicsNextTo, 3P microscopy, 2P holographic mesoscopy @LamiaeAdm @AdenisikHillel, viral expression strategies @DalkaraLab, pioneering genetic tools @joH_VieR @OferYizhar , new approaches for high throughput connectivity mapping @DimitriiTanese @ChenIWen1 @koweiss . More details at vdesars.github.io

At @SfNtweets #SFN2024? Come see our poster LBA009.077 / LBA76 - Recording Neural Activity Using Scanless 2-Photon Voltage Imaging: An Integrated Implementation. An implementation building on @EmilianiLab's recent work (rdcu.be/dWqKW).

Get ready to hear about new tools in the world of Optics, Genetics, and Optogenetics at #OptoGRC2024! 🌟🔦 Led by @LabMasseck & featuring Elena Govorunova, @Gao_SQ, @SimWieg, Tommaso Fellin, @_ChGrimm & @fuzikjanos You won't want to miss out on this "illuminating" discussion!

Excited to announce our paper on scanless in vitro and in vivo two-photon voltage imaging is finally out; Huge thank to Ruth, Imane and all coauthors👏Special thanks to Francois St-Pierre lab for the great collaboration! doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-4…

Happy to announce that our paper on PdCO is finally out @naturemethods - check out this great tutorial by the awesome @JWietek:

🚨🚨We are delighted to announce that we are partnering with the @KavliFoundation who will be opening a call for the Sculpted Light in the Brain-Kavli Innovation Award exclusively for @SLBconference 2024 attendees.

It’s happening, we are online 🥹 Great project and lots of fun with @r_r_sims and all co-authors in the @EmilianiLab at @InstVisionParis #rhodopsinGEVI #Scanless2P

Have been following this fascinating story of 2P-responsive opsin-based voltage imaging for a while; great to see it out in preprint. The upshot? 2P excitation works but 2P *scanning* does not. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Let's look at some of our amazing speakers! Remember, early bird registration is less than two weeks away!

We have extended our early-bird deadline to May 1st, 2024! If you're interested in using optical techniques to understand the brain, join us in Paris! Submit your abstract and register at sculptedlight.org/

One of my side projects @SLBconference has its travel award/abstract deadline is fast approaching! If you work on advanced optical neurosciency things or just want to learn about them. check it out. sculptedlight.org

Last day of the Paris school on "All-Optical Circuits Control and Wavefront Shaping." Fantastic group of students, amazing speakers, and TAs! Next one on March 2025! @MichaelLinLab, @zenith_etn @InstVisionParis, @ClaireWyart, @JoH_VierR, @DalkaraLab, @CNRS_CFE

In the City of Light for OptoSchool with @EmilianiLab

Pour la journée des #FemmesEnScience, mettons en lumière @EmilianiLab, à l'honneur de la #BD Ébullitions publiée par @CNRS ⬇️ 💪Saluons les femmes qui repoussent les limites de la connaissance et inspirent les générations futures ! 🚀 Dessins © Hélène Bléhaut #Recherche #Science

Tempted to learn on 2P optogenetics, voltage imaging, patterned endoscopy, 3P imaging? Join us for the 5th edition of the annual training school in Paris: cnrsformation.cnrs.fr/optica… Pre-registrations are open, candidate selection end of November!!! @InstVisionParis @CNRS_CFE

🚨We are SUPER excited to announce SLB2024 which will take place in beautiful city of PARIS🇫🇷from 19-21 June 2024 at Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris🚨More details to follow soon (shaping up to be our best yet) but for now we want to intro our lovely organizers:

Great collaboration between my group and @EmilianiLab to use #twophoton #optogenetics to map synaptic connectivity in mouse V1 in vivo

It is finally out: holographic manipulation of hub cells using soma targeted ChroME (@AdesnikHillel ) nature.com/articles/s41593-0… Fantastic collaborations with Cossart Lab!! (@NatureNeuro, @InstVisionParis,@INSB_CNRS, @INP_CNRS ) 🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂

Thrilled to announce that our paper (Bounds et al) is out! Here we introduce a new transgenic mouse designed for use in all-optical multiphoton optogenetic experiments, and present a new strategy to write the most complex patterns of activity yet. cell.com/cell-reports/fullte…

1 position (post doc or phD ) is open in our group for a physicist with background in optics and microscopy and interested in developing approaches for all-optical brain manipulation. If you are interested write @ valentina.emiliani@inserm.fr or eirini.papagiakoumou@inserm.fr
