1. 1. I am thrilled to announce that I’ll be starting my lab (fanlab.mit.edu/) @MIT_Picower @mitbrainandcog @MIT in Jan 2024! We will be innovating high-precision all-optical technologies and making discoveries of brain mechanisms that give rise to learning and memory.

Honored to join the Sloan fellow community. Big thanks to my mentors, @MIT_Picower, and my lab for the support. We are recruiting new team members to join us: fanlab.mit.edu/openings/ Please reach out if you are interested in all-optical physiology, plasticity, or learning/memory.

Congratulations to our Human Neural Circuitry team; bit.ly/4dEyX7Z publishes today in Science! This was the hardest challenge of my career, but one of the most rewarding, after years of rebuilding– & for myself, expanding my inpatient neuropsychiatry work to the service of basic discovery: med.stanford.edu/news/all-ne… I’m grateful for the opportunity to work with the amazing lead authors Isaac Kauvar @ikauvar, Ethan Richman, and Tony Liu @liutony66, and with equally brilliant faculty colleagues in our HNC program: Carolyn Rodriguez @CRodriguezMDPhD, Paul Nuyujukian, and Vivek Buch @VivekBuchMD, along with many other key collaborators spanning hospital and laboratory. x.com/KarlDeisseroth/status/…

Congratulations to @LinlinZFan on being named a Searle Scholar! Fan plans to study how serotonin might influence plasticity in memory, and whether psychedelics affect that. picower.mit.edu/news/searle-… #neuroscience #serotonin #memory @mitscience @mitbrainandcog

And it’s out! Our lab’s very first paper is published today @naturemethods! Our calcium-activated split-TurboID (CaST) can biochemically tag activated neurons within 10 minutes, enabling a molecular handle on functionally relevant cell ensembles: tinyurl.com/ddyecxze

1/3 Exciting News! We're hiring at all levels immediately for our lab @UUNeurobiology Join us in cutting-edge research at the intersection of neuroscience and chemical biology! We aim to explore how neuropeptides modulate behavior and physiology. Pls RT!

🎉Congratulations to @LinlinZFan, on being named a Klingenstein-Simons Fellow in #Neuroscience! Fan is studying endocannabinoid-mediated inhibitory synaptic plasticity in learning and memory. picower.mit.edu/news/fellows… @klingensteinorg @SimonsFdn @mitbrainandcog

Closing proceedings with Michael Hausser sharing his SLB ‘wish list’ #SLB2024

What an amazing conference @SLBconference! Kudos to the organisers: @LamiaeAdm, @JacquesCarolan, @LinlinZFan, @GHandy50, @muratti1983, @ianOldenburg, and of course #Eirini! Some moments below. 😊

Had a blast at #MMiN catching up with old friends @iaahmed123 & @LinlinZFan, and meeting new ones @julieta__lis. Both Linlin and Julieta started new labs at MIT and NIH - check them out if you’re looking for exciting labs with amazing mentors! (and @iaahmed123 soon to follow 😛)

Excited to co-chair this symposium with @tinakim_neuro at #MMIN2024 We will survey cutting-edge approaches to monitoring and manipulating neural activity from some of the field's rising stars!

Hear from pioneers on advanced optical techniques to crack neural codes at SLB2024 in Paris! Deadline Coming Soon. Register at sculptedlight.org

congratulations @LinlinZFan & team... tracking natural *inhibitory* synaptic plasticity in mammals! w/ the very same designed-opsin pair that we had generated earlier to track *excitatory* plasticity in behaving mice (our structure-guided channelrhodopsin bC1C2TG & QuasAr6a) cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…

Excited to share our new work @ScienceMagazine-we demonstrated all-optical interrogation of inhibitory synaptic transmission and plasticity during behavior! Kudos to our wonderful collaborators @BarnaDudok, @SolteszLab, and of course, my amazing mentor and advisor @KarlDeisseroth

Dear colleagues – we have an opening for a postdoctoral associate in the lab to study the molecular machinery of synaptic transmission and mechanisms by which neuronal subtypes differentially control synaptic strength. If you know of someone interested, have them email me. Thanks

**Announcement**: we are excited to share that registration is now open for the 2024 SculptedLightintheBrain conference edition that will take place from June19th to 21st in beautiful Paris! Secure your early bird spot before April 1st! sculptedlight.org/

We are hiring a tech in our lab @ UC Davis! We develop tools to study how neural circuits elicit behavioral changes in motivation/memory/drug-use. Apply here: recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF06295 You can expect a friendly & fast paced learning environment, publications, and conferences!

Meet our newest faculty member @LinlinZFan, who is advancing all-optical methods to study learning and memory. picower.mit.edu/news/new-pic… #neuroscience #MIT #brain @ScienceMIT @mitbrainandcog
