Allen Institute for Neural Dynamics

✨🔭 #OpenScope - a shared observatory for #neuroscience — is accepting letters of intent from external scientists. ⏳ Submit by Sept. 10 at 5pm Pacific at https://lnkd.in/g7AFxSZr #OpenScience

✨🔭 #OpenScope - a shared observatory for neuroscience — is accepting letters of intent from external scientists until Sept. 10 at 5PM Pacific. Once a year, OpenScope accepts experimental proposals from external scientists following a Request for Proposals (RFPs). Proposals are reviewed by a panel of leading experts from the international community for their feasibility and scientific merit. The Allen Institute then carries out the selected in vivo experiments in mice brains following verified, reproducible, and open protocols for in vivo single- and multi-area two photon calcium imaging and #Neuropixels electrophysiology. Data from completed projects is made available to project scientists during a one year period. Eventually all datasets are released to the entire community on DANDI Archive, as NWB files.

From the mountain to the bench, neuroscientist Kaspar Podgorski has been defying what is possible. He shares the lessons he's learned from recovering from a devastating climbing accident in a new interview in The Transmitter.

Job alert! 📢📣🚨 My awesome colleagues Allen Institute are hiring for a scientist and RA positions. The project aims to link neural activity with cell types using spatial transcriptomics - supported in part by our BICAN U01 grant. https://lnkd.in/gqiFvVPv https://lnkd.in/gfyA9Ujt

🦋 Our brains instantly recognize countless complex visual textures that surround us, from the intricate designs on a butterfly’s wings to the grain pattern of wood. But how does it pull off this remarkable feat of visual perception? DMCBH researchers Drs. Federico Bolanos and Tim Murphy have been awarded an OpenScope project from the Allen Institute to explore the answer to this question. Read more on our website!
