The Immediate Returns to Early Career Mobility

Brian: The Typographical Error that Brought Early Career Neuroscientists and Artists Together

The divide between the arts and sciences is a relatively modern phenomenon. One can look at Renaissance collaborations between naturalists and artists, including the rich body of botanical art from the 1500s, as historical examples of such interdisciplinary collaborations [1–4]. But as both fields have evolved, it’s not surprising that they have become more compartmentalised and culturally segr...

Guidance for Early-Career Scientists

As a new investigator, still feeling somewhat precarious and hoping for continued mentorship in my own career, it does feel odd giving out words of wisdom. I hope a description of my experience will suffice. I am a bit embarrassed to admit it, but I was very passive in the early decisions that have led to my career. Even in college, I majored in science because, as a nonnative English speaker, ...

DREADDs for Neuroscientists

To understand brain function, it is essential that we discover how cellular signaling specifies normal and pathological brain function. In this regard, chemogenetic technologies represent valuable platforms for manipulating neuronal and non-neuronal signal transduction in a cell-type-specific fashion in freely moving animals. Designer Receptors Exclusively Activated by Designer Drugs (DREADD)-b...
