Got Bowie on the brain

Remarkable talk by Dr. Mitra Heshmati today at the Conciousness GRC, on the engineering of synthetic consciousness states through whole brain genetic capture.

For those of you who say we have taken AI too far, gaze upon this scientifically accurate representation and weep

Clip from her talk: AAVretro-ArgiNLS-DIO-oScarlet in red, AAV-ArgiNLS-GFP in green (both in the NAc) of a vlgut2-Cre transgenic. Imaged at 1.6x with a SmartSPIM LSFM. Rendered with Arivis.

This is the native (non stained) signal following SHIELD clearing.

As much fun as ACNP was, thrilled I was able to be back in time to watch Mary Loveless share her rotation presentation with the GPN cohort! Congratulations Mary!

(make sure to full screen this!) Some hippocampal neurons and dendritic arbors visualized from mCherry with a 3.6x objective in a SmartSPIM using iDisco.

Some new images from last night using a new stain (for us). Was imaging with a trainee and we came to the conclusion that being a brain astronaut it pretty cool...

250um MIP from an iDisco cleared brain using LSFM.

#flourescentfriday! Some TRAP2xDREADD cells from a ~250um thick digital horizontal slice of a cleared (hind)brain.

Welcome to @trapp.bsky.social who started his postdoc in the lab this month! Super excited share his more on his project as he settles in...!

Thought our labs first post should be some pretty pictures from ongoing collaborations! Fos from a project with Ajay Dhaka from @uw-nbio.bsky.social and TRAP from Mitra Heshmati from UW Anesthesiology.
