Mapping brains never gets old, especially when the territory is new 🐦🧠🗺️.
Loved being drawn into this collaboration by @neuroweiler.bsky.social and learning about birds and their magnetic senses.
Stay tuned for more new atlases coming to @brainglobe.info
A migratory bird brain, the Eurasian blackcap, has been mapped for the first time using high-resolution light microscopy.
The open-source software tools developed form a foundation for new brain atlases to be built for any species, providing a valuable resource.

The deadline for all these positions is now April 12th.
Please do not be put off by the "Senior" in the job title. We have hired people at different career stages into roles at this grade, what matters is whether you can do the job!
Such a fantastic idea, and by the right people to make this work.
Come join us to build open source tools for neuroscience!
Happy to answer any questions.
1. Senior Research Software Engineer (Neural and Behavioural Data) - We’re looking for a research software engineer to build pipelines to process weeks of neural and behavioural recordings from freely moving animals.
2. Senior Research Software Engineer (Multiphoton Microscopy) - We’re looking for a research software engineer to build pipelines to process, align and analyse data from benchtop and minaturised two-photon microscopes.
3. Senior Research Software Engineer (Omics) - We’re looking for a research software engineer to build robust and easy to use software tools for merging in-vivo imaging functional data with ex-vivo transcriptomics data.
Our London-based imaging facility is currently looking for a research software engineer to help develop analysis pipelines for spatial omics. Job advert accessible via our homepage: swcmicroscopy.com Our Neuroinformatics facility also hiring for related roles: neuroinformatics.dev

Version 0.15.0 of movement released!
New features include:
- Derivation of bounding boxes from pose tracks
- Saving and loading of RoIs via GeoJSON
- A new example for scaling pose tracks to real-world coordinates

Come join us to build great open source tools for neuroscience!
Happy to answer any questions. If ephys and behaviour isn't your thing, we will have some imaging focussed RSE jobs soon!
🚀 New workshop before FENS in Barcelona!
Join the Flatiron Institute Center for Computational Neuroscience of the Simons Foundation for a hands-on workshop on pynapple & NeMoS.
Learn to analyze and model neural data with open-source tools.
Accommodation & meals included.

By default the prints look quite washed out, so I usually just crank it up the saturation a bit. I can’t remember exactly what parameters I used, but it’s consistent across photos.
I think the printer supports lots of different protocols, but I’ve only used the selphy app, and it works fine.
We have the Canon printer. I’ve found that you need to play around with saturation etc to make the prints look anything like they do on screen, but it’s easy to use and reliable.
The Google Summer of Code and Neuroinformatics Unit logos next to each other.
Do you want to spend the summer being paid to contribute to open source neuroscience software?
We are taking part in Google Summer of Code again, offering paid, remote placements to work on one of our tools. Open to (nearly) everyone worldwide.
More details: neuroinformatics.dev/get-involved...
BrainGlobe is part of this, so get in touch if you'd like to spend the summer working with us!
Get in touch if you want to be paid to work with us this summer. We are particularly interested in hearing from scientists who are interested in software development!
Part 3 of my "Trusted by design" blog series is live at neuroinformatics.dev/blog/trusted...
Open-source software is public, yet much of the communication around it may happen in private channels. What if communication were radically open—visible to anyone who cares to look?
The CArea mouse brain atlas has been added to BrainGlobe!
This atlas has regions which are automatically clustered based on three dimensional maps of gene expression.
