I made this figure panel size guide to avoid thinking about dimensions every time. Apparently this post is going to be a 🧵! So feel free to bookmark it and save some time of yours.

If this seems empty it's bcz I don't plan to use it anytime soon!

NEW: Elon Musk’s X has suspended accounts of Turkish opposition groups, suppressing footage of anti-government protests. So, best we share all the footage we can here! This was last night’s massive demo against Erdogan’s government, which follows the arrest of his rival Ekrem İmamoğlu. 🇹🇷 #Turkey

As a rule, cells that fire together wire together, but some synapses disobey this rule, notably hippocampal basket cells, BCs, have anti-Hebbian plasticity. We wondered if this was true in neocortex as well, and it turns out it is, suggesting a general principle! 🧪

Dear #neuroscience community, do people submitting abstracts for ICMNS 2025 receive a confirmation email at one point that they submitted successfully? Asking for an anxious friend 👀

Preparing practicals is the best way to see what needs maintenance. From replacing microforge filaments to patching core repos.

Me as a participant in practical courses: *gives a long list of suggestions for improvement, plans to do all that when I'm giving a course" Me preparing a practical course: *Repo needs to be done by Mon, 2/3 notebooks pretty much empty* "Let's improve these bifurcation diagrams" (notebook 1, task 0)

This little lady joined two humans on a 20 minute walk that turned into a 3 hour walk after a wrong turn on a field. Jumping over grass taller than her she powered through the walk and ran the last 200 m! Truly a bonding experience ❤️

! 🚨Preprint Alert🚨 ! Flo and Johann’s magnum opus on calcium permeation in AMPA Receptors is up. It’s another chapter in our collaboration with Han Sun (FMP-Berlin), with ephys from our former student @ecekuru.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...  For the details, here's a #bluetorial 1/n

Atomistic Mechanisms of Calcium Permeation Modulated by Q/R Editing and Selectivity Filter Mutations in GluA2 AMPA Receptors

GluA2 is a key subunit of AMPA receptor ion channels that is abundantly expressed in the vertebrate brain. Posttranscriptional Q/R editing of GluA2 renders AMPARs nearly impermeable to calcium ions, w...

Python does it again... The code below has an obvious mistake, but won't raise an error at that line. Instead it will skip that line and possibly break somewhere completely different. ``` foo = {} foo['bar'] : 0 ``` For me this didn't even raise a warning.
