Excited and proud to share my postdoc work out @nature today: go.nature.com/3pscOlX. It all started as a conversation on a balcony many years ago with @zmainen on the mysteries of olfaction and spatial cognition 👃🧠🚀 Video by @Neuro_CF AV team 👉youtu.be/BunEBiU3MO0 1/n

New from @emily_a_largent, @_APeterson_ + me responding to @US_FDA's rationalization of #Aduhelm approval on grounds that patients are willing to try. Pt voices are critical, but don’t absolve FDA of its obligation to ensure drugs are effective + safe. 1/ jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

FDA Drug Approval and the Ethics of Desperation

This Viewpoint uses the accelerated approval of aducanumab to treat Alzheimer disease to discuss what role patient desperation should play in the FDA’s decision-making.

This is why basic research is important! Insights from slice physiology led to our discovery about how to make DBS more long lasting. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Population-specific neuromodulation prolongs therapeutic benefits of deep brain stimulation

Electrical stimulation protocols, tailored for cell-type specificity, improve the therapeutic efficacy of deep-brain stimulation in mice.

re-posting: NIH-funded position in the Denman Lab studying the biophysics of electrical stimulation with Neuropixels and opto tools. join us! make this cool work happen!

The other is in the realm of understanding electrical modulation of intact neural circuits. Help us figure out how to use intracortical elec stimulation to add some causality to studying coding...and generally WTF is going on when current is applied to a complex in vivo circuit…

Another paper from the lab is out @NatureComms, the same week as our @NeuroCellPress paper. rdcu.be/ckogZ reveling the important role of another top-down circuit, premotor-culliculus, in motor planning during decision-making. Congratulations, @AnnDuan2 and Yuxin Pan!

Preprint with @jtdudman: Behavior that emerges from classical conditioning improves mice’s policies for reward collection. Dopamine sets the rate of this direct policy learning independent of updating value. 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Mesolimbic dopamine adapts the rate of learning from errors in performance

Recent success in training artificial agents and robots derives from a combination of direct learning of behavioral policies and indirect learning via value functions. Policy learning and value...
