World wide VVTNS series: Wednesday, June 26 at 11am (EDT), Eve Marder Brandeis University | Cryptic (hidden) changes that result from perturbations and climate change shape future dynamics of degenerate neurons and circuits
by David Hansel June 24, 2024

[image: VVTNS.png] https://www.wwtns.online - on twitter: wwtns@TheoreticalWide You are cordially invited to the VVTNS fourth season final lecture given by Eve Marder Brandeis University on the topic of Cryptic (hidden) changes that result from perturbations and climate change shape future dynamics of degenerate neurons and circuits The lecture will be held on zoom on *June 26, 2024*, at *11:00 am EDT * To receive the link: https://www.wwtns.online/register-page *Abstract: *A fundamental problem in neuroscience is understanding how the properties of individual neurons and synapses contribute to neuronal circuit dynamics and behavior. In recent years we have done both computational and experimental studies that demonstrate that the same physiological output can arise from multiple, degenerate solutions, and that individual animals with similar behavior can nonetheless have quite different sets of underlying circuit parameters. Most recently, we have been studying the resilience of individual animals to perturbations such as temperature and high potassium concentrations. This has revealed that extreme environmental experiences can produce long-term changes in circuit performance that can be hidden, or “cryptic” unless the animals are again challenged or perturbed. Our present experimental and computational work is designed to understand differential resilience in natural, wild-caught animals in response to climate change, and shows long-lasting influences of the animals’ temperature history. *About VVTNS : Created as the World Wide Neuroscience Seminar (WWTNS) in November 2020 and renamed in homage to Carl van Vreeswijk in Memoriam (April 20, 2022), its aim is to be a platform to exchange ideas among theoreticians. Speakers have the occasion to talk about theoretical aspects of their work which cannot be discussed in a setting where the majority of the audience consists of experimentalists. The seminars, **held on Wednesdays at 11 am ET,** are 45-50 min long followed by a discussion. The talks are recorded with authorization of the speaker and are available to everybody on our YouTube channel.* ᐧ

Postdoc position available
by Goodhill, Geoffrey June 17, 2024

June 17, 2024

POSTDOC POSITION IN DECODING AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS FROM MOVEMENT A postdoc position is available in the lab of Geoff Goodhill at Washington University in St Louis for an NIH-funded project to help improve early diagnosis of ASD by using cutting-edge tools from machine learning and computational ethology. PROJECT. Motor differences are one of the earliest markers of increased ASD likelihood in infancy. Our goal is to develop broadly-applicable diagnostic tools which combine automated extraction of kinematic features from video data with new machine learning techniques to capture ASD motor function variability. As a first step, we are applying cutting-edge developments in computer vision, machine learning and computational ethology to a rich, longitudinal video dataset of infants being screened for ASD. APPLICANT PROFILE. The ideal applicant would have a strong background in all of ASD, human movement, machine learning and computational ethology. However given the rarity of this combination we are happy to consider candidates with only some of this background, but a strong desire to learn about the other elements. LAB ENVIRONMENT. The Goodhill lab is an interdisciplinary environment of students and postdocs from a diverse array of backgrounds including neuroscience, mathematics, physics and engineering, working together on understanding neural circuit computation, particularly relating to neural development. UNIVERSITY ENVIRONMENT. Washington University in St Louis is ranked in the top 10 institutions globally for Neuroscience and Behavior, and offers an outstanding intellectual environment for research in neuroscience. The Goodhill lab has recently moved into Washington University's new start-of-the-art 600,000 sq ft Neuroscience Research Building (https://neuroscience.wustl.edu/research/neuroscience-building) For more information about St Louis see https://explorestlouis.com. To apply please send a CV and detailed cover letter explaining why you are interested in this position to g.goodhill(a)wustl.edu. Review of applications will continue until the position is filled.
