Spatial cognition paradigms in animal models tend to focus on allocentric means of navigation where animals rely on environmental landmarks. There is a need for spatial cognition paradigms that also take egocentric navigation into account, where an animal’s own point...
A collaboration of multiple labs in the Neurology and Neurobiology departments at UCLA published a paper regarding their open-source electrophysiology-integrated mini scope in an eLife paper in April 2023. E-Scope is an open source mini scope that simultaneously...
Ali Ogzur and colleagues designed a flexible and easily accessible tool for head fixation in mice. Considering the financial strain, time obligation, and level of experience necessary for head fixation experiments, the group provided a solution that includes both...
Structural and functional mapping of neural circuits at a whole-brain level is an emerging area in neuroscience, with projects around the world attempting to map the mouse brain by cell type, activity, long and short term connectivity patterns, and circuit...
Mercedes Gonzales and colleagues from the Precison Bio Systems Lab at Georgia Tech developed a convolutional neural network that assesses pipette positioning before a patch clamp is begun to minimize patch clamping errors in electrophysiology experiments. This is...
