Hi #Neuroscience,
Exciting news—I’m recruiting a PhD student to join my lab and study neuroscience in larval zebrafish 🧠🐟
Microscopy expertise is a big plus!

I am in the process of setting up my Utrecht University website and would greatly appreciate any feedback you might have! www.uu.nl/staff/TFLin

Thank you!

If you're interested in my current work at the Neuro Institute at UChicago, come join my talk on ramping neuronal activity and parallel fiber–Purkinje cell LTD at the JNS, Niigata, 2025 (7/24, 17:30–17:45, Room 5). Grateful to @sfn.org for the JNS Meeting Award that made this opportunity possible!

Hi #neuroscience! I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be launching my own group as an Assistant Professor at Utrecht University in the beautiful Netherlands, where we’ll study neural plasticity and development in the #cerebellum using #zebrafish. I’m looking for a PhD student — get in touch!

The latest preprint from the Hansel lab at UChicago. My excellent grad colleague Abby Silbaugh shows that activating a supervisory signal local to the cerebellum can, via thalamus, influence whisker stim-induced plasticity in mouse S1. A fantastic demo that the brain + its plasticity is distributed!

Non-allometric expansion and enhanced compartmentalization of Purkinje cell dendrites in the human cerebellum A comparative study of Purkinje dendrite morphology, input arrangement, and regional subtype distribution shows human cells evade constraint by cortical thickness to be both quantitatively and qualita...

Inspired by Cajal, the Hansel lab’s new work in @eLife provides a comparative histological analysis of human and mouse Purkinje cell morphology. Following our 2023 study, we detail differences of scale and kind between the neurons of the two species 🧵⬇️
