Sometimes I make science/art. These panels were made from images collected from the Brown Neuro department to mark our 30 year anniversary. At some point I’ll get around to printing them on canvases for display in our conference room.

I am thrilled to share our latest story led by the incredibly talented Brooke D’Arcy and Camila Musso. We discover a rich world of local gene expression in radial glia, essential neural and glial precursors, and develop a new method for sub-cellular mRNA manipulation. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🐒 The book of the animal kingdom..
London, J. M. Dent & sons, ltd.;1910..

Illustration of a mandrill sitting on rocky ground, holding a thin branch in its right hand. The primate has distinctive colorful facial features including a bright red nose, blue ridges on the sides of the nose, and a white beard-like tuft of fur around the mouth. Its fur is brown and dense, with a muscular body posture. The background shows a muted landscape with an orange, pink, and gray sky, suggesting sunset or sunrise. The image is a detailed, naturalistic drawing from a 1910 scientific book titled "The Book of the Animal Kingdom," signed by the artist W.S. Berridge.

This is just a little nespresso capsule machine that I have in my office. Super convenient, but you are stuck using capsules.

The first time I realized how trivial replacing a toilet seat was, and how happy I was with the result, I was like “I should do this every year!”

Here are some useful basic neuroscience and computational neuroscience resources, many of them free.

Shahab Bakhtiari @shahabbakht.bsky.social · Jul 21

Thank you everyone for your suggestions! This turned out to be a very useful resource.

For those interested, you can see a compiled version of the suggestions from this thread here: tinyurl.com/kaz445jh

(The wiki page will be updated as we find more resources.)

For trainees entering computational neuroscience or NeuroAI from an engineering background, where do you direct them to learn some neuroscience these days? Books, courses, ...?

And no... I'm not interested in scaring them off with Kandel!

But Abraham Lincoln did say this upon first arriving at Gettysburg: “If I ever lived in this place, I’d have a Gettysburg address!”

I hate apocryphal quotes. Like if you have a good sentiment, why falsely attribute it to some random famous person that seems would agree with the sentiment? Just own the thing. And no, Kurt Vonnegut didn’t write that commencement speech.
