Pinpoint, our trajectory planning software for electrophysiology in mice, has just had a major upgrade - and is now described in a preprint!

Use Pinpoint here:

Pinpoint is an easy-to-use web (or desktop) trajectory planning tool for Neuropixels and other electrophysiology probes. Plan complicated multi-probe insertions, make sure your probes won’t collide, and add rig elements to get a complete view of your experiment. Image

Neuropixels probes, introduced 3 years ago, started a new era in large-scale electrophysiology. Today I'm happy to share a big team effort developing Neuropixels 2.0. We can now record stably from 10,000 sites in freely-moving mice. Thread - biorxiv.org/content/10.110… The probe is 3x smaller than 1.0 while maintaining 384 channels, and a single headstage can host two probes - so with ~1 g of implanted hardware you get 768 channels simultaneously.

As scientific teams grow, our model of credit assignment (1st author, last, or everyone else) becomes increasingly outdated. One impediment is ineffectiveness of author contributions text. Here’s a suggestion for a better way: the contributions table. A thread; feedback welcome. Authors contributions sections are new and still don’t appear in many journals, but can be improved. Rather than text listing each author’s contributions, the same data can be presented as a table with rows corresponding to contributions and columns for each author.
