Neural circuits for visual perception
James Zhuang and Kayla Peelman presented their posters at the Society for Neuroscience (SFN) meeting in Washington DC.
They both did an excellent job standing and presenting for 3+ hours to an unending queue of attendees!
It was great to see so many colleagues who stopped by to check out our latest work in progress (all unpublished!)
Everyone had a great time on a perfect Fall day at Cochran Mill Park. We hiked to the waterfall and back (and all survived!)
We are very excited to be funded by the NIH BRAIN Initiative once again, for a major new project to study the flow of visual attention across brain areas.
This award is part of the BRAIN Initiative’s Targeted Brain Circuits Project. This family of initiatives emphasize the use of cutting-edge methods of activation and recording to understand the behavior of circuits at cellular and sub-second levels of spatial and temporal resolution.
Congratulations to everyone in the lab that helped make this possible, and thank you the to NIH BRAIN Initiative!
We are very excited to be a host lab for the Shenoy Undergraduate Research Fellowship in Neuroscience (SURFiN) Program.
Taylin Ware from Spelman College will be mentored by graduate student KC Jacobson. Taylin will be working to understand if motivational factors play a role in perceptual and attentional deficits in mouse models of autism.
The goal of the Shenoy Undergraduate Research Fellowship in Neuroscience (SURFiN) Program is to spark and sustain interest in neuroscience among undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds underrepresented in neuroscience research. SURFiN provides funds and programming for undergraduate research assistants (fellows) to work in-person in Simons Foundation-supported neuroscience laboratories under the mentorship of graduate students and postdoctoral researchers (mentors) during the academic year.
Simons Foundation Announces Next Class of Neuroscience Undergraduate Research Fellows
Welcome Taylin and thank you Simons Foundation!
