My #introduction is overdue. I’m a professor at Penn who studies memory using systems and computational approaches. I’m also writing a book: When it comes to understanding the brain, what are we trying to achieve? What’s our plan to get there? What challenges do we face? #neuroscience #author
Writing has deepened my appreciation for community-based progress. I’m excited to be on this inclusive platform where we can leverage collective intelligence, and work through conceptual blocks together.
The #NeuroscienceMigration tag is looking like a useful way to find people. Hi!
Great to see the #NeuroscienceMigration really happening. hi, everyone!
@pierre_le_merre Welcome! I'm fairly new to the field and also mastodon so it's a fun time to network. I'll be at #SfN next week and can't wait!
Hi, I am a postdoc in Marie Carlén’s lab studying prefrontal networks of the mouse. Lets see how this whole #neurosciencemigration works but happy to be here!
@beth_morton 👋 Here!!
Looking for all the #migraine, #MigraineChat, #NEISvoid folks! Who is on here? #ChronicIllness #ChronicallyIll #Disabled #Disability
Love all the encouragement to create #accessible content, use #ContentWarnings, and follow community norms. Keep it coming!
It's still quite quiet here. I'm going to include some hashtags so I can find some people. I have #EDS #LongCovid, write about #disability and #theology. #ProgressiveChristian and I really like #Disney and #DisneyParks

#Introduction. I'm a theoretical neuroscientist at Columbia University. Primary focus on cerebral cortical circuits, both mature function and activity-dependent development (a form of learning). More general interest in intelligence & learning, e.g. neuro/AI interface, as well as long-term goal of understanding how cortex computes and analyzes and represents and learns. Also passionate about politics, and will post about that too -- coming from a belief in justice, freedom, everyone having a right to a secure and decent life and opportunities to develop and advance themselves, and in true democracy -- one person one voice, not one dollar one voice.
Hello SciMastodon! Let’s neuroscience! This is my first post here so I put one of my favorite brains in the pic. Can you name the species?
Please do let me know how to follow all you neuroscience folks (and related scientists) so I can get in the conversation — just toot your handle at me! Did I use the that term correctly? 🤷♂️
There is something wonderful about seeing lots of people opening their own blogs and taking their own steps to retain ownership of their data while still making it accessible on the open web!
This and joining the Federation, one way or the other, by joining an instance or by running yours, registration closed or open, the point is, it brings decentralization into practice, bit by bit, until the loads of us combined can change the trajectory of the internet for good!
@mnrajah I'll be there! It'll be my first SfN conference, and my first in-person conference since 2018. I am presenting my poster in two sessions. I'm extremely excited!!
@PessoaBrain Yassss!
#Neuroscience is growing fast as we speak!
🧠 💪
Just in time for #SfN
Let's do #SfN here!
For those of us who came from Twitter: here, clicking "favorite" is different from clicking "like" in Twitter. It just tells the writer "yeah, nice", without enhancing visibility. The only way to enhance visibility is to "boost" (basically, retweet). I suspect all this will change (different clients will have different algorithms, etc) but for now this is how it is...
@MatteoCarandini And here I was, thinking it was a bookmark function at first. 🤦♂️ We all start somewhere with learning new things, I suppose.
@ava_nicole23 oh my gosh hi, I recognize you!
Extremely stubborn MD/PhD student investigating pain and memory. I'm in my third year of a seven-year-long Medical Scientist Training Program at the University of Arizona College of Medicine - Tucson pursuing my PhD in #neuroscience.
