1/12 It has been quite a journey, and I am incredibly happy to finally share this work! One of the first projects we started when I opened my lab, with a brave team who took a chance on a very junior PI

For more details, check out the paper! This project was a collaborative effort with many other contributors, including co-first author @soyoun_neurosci, as well as Season, @apeyrache , @BatistaBritoLab , and @lukesjulson nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Sleep reveals dynamics integrating and segregating movement and stimulus representations in V1

Nature Communications - How intrinsic dynamics structure sensory and movement representations in cortex remains unclear. Here, the authors show that these dynamics organize movement-stimulus...

In a NEW STUDY, @JacobMRatliff @GeoffreyTerral @BatistaBritoLab, et al. discovered that an extraordinarily rare population of neurons in the #CerebralCortex can synchronize activity across large areas of the brain and promote sleep. PRESS RELEASE 👉 mountsinai.org/about/newsroo…

This is really great work by the Sjulson lab!

This is the hardest project I've ever worked on, and I couldn't be prouder of Elie, Soyoun, and the rest of the team in finally getting it across the finish line!

Neocortical long-range inhibition promotes cortical synchrony and sleep

Nature - In mice, a sparse population of sleep-active long-range inhibitory neurons in the neocortex promote widespread cortical synchronization and sleep, revealing a cortical mechanism that...

Such a nice summary figure of our paper 🤩🤩

A newly identified activity in the brain that occurs while we sleep—a barrage of action potentials, or a BARR—plays a crucial role in rebalancing the hippocampal neural network during memory consolidation. 📄: scim.ag/879 #SciencePerspective: scim.ag/87a
