Applications are now open for our course on connectomics & brain simulation. Organizers: Sven Dorkenwald (MIT), Stefanie Hampel (UPR), Andrew Seeds (UPR), Sebastian Seung (Princeton), and Srini Turaga (Janelia). Interested? Apply here ➜ sjcabs.com
Congratulations to the Seeds/Hampel Lab on their new manuscript on BioRxiv! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Today we welcomed 50 students from UPR Ponce to the Institute of Neurobiology in Old San Juan! They explored our research and learned about the building’s unique history. 🧠🏛️ #NeuroBoricuas #ScienceOutreach #UPRPonce #OldSanJuan
Exciting news - Drs. @Andrew_M_Seeds, @SebastianSeung, and @Steffi__Hampel just received Simons Foundation and NSF awards to launch the San Juan School on Connectomics in 2026. Stay tuned - it's happening!! 🎉🧠🔥
Congratulations to the lab of Dr. Cristina Velazquez for the acceptance of their paper "Comparative mRNA Profile Analysis from NAc of Adolescent Male Mice after Binge-Like Alcohol Exposure Eliciting Deficits in Context Fear Extinction Learning".
Highlighting a special moment - we take a look at some of the amazing women who have been awarded the Nobel Prize. Who do you recognise? Video credit: NRK and SVT

"Blebbisomes are large, organelle-rich extracellular vesicles with cell-like properties" and are made by multiple cell types. This video shows fibroblasts (green arrows) and fibroblast-derived blebbisomes (magenta-arrowhead). Read about blebbisomes here: nature.com/articles/s4155…
If you are a neuroscientist working in pretty much any area you definitely need the content of the CN course, and for many corners of neuro you also need the content of the DL course. Both of which are particularly true if you are an experimentalist.

Researchers have constructed self-assembled nanopeptides that penetrate cells and target intracellular bacterial infections, which are increasingly difficult to treat due to antibiotic resistance. scim.ag/3EyO4Cv @ScienceAdvances
