Pleased our study is now published. We catalog the structures and cell types innervated by corticospinal neurons (CSNs) of forelimb motor cortex. This research lays an anatomical foundation for many future functional studies from the lab.

On my way to visit @UNC_Optics and his awesome department @aps_unc. Looking forward to a great visit. Talk is Tue at 4pm, come say hi if you’re in the area!
And if you’re a grad student or a postdoc (or an eminent professor looking to relive your postdoc years) I’m hiring!

The Oldenburg Lab is hiring! If you're interested in using fancy microscopes to stimulate cells and study neural codes let me know.
We're looking for an adventurous postdoc who's interested in optics and neurobiology of movement. oldenburglab.com

Thrilled to have WenXi's thesis work out in the world! Over the past few years, WenXi has made some cool discoveries about how the brain learns to predict the consequence of an action. 1/9

Excited about our long-brewing paper exploring dynamics in multi-regional neural circuits in a delayed movement task. Driven by@esthersselva, @yiliu021, and including Jennifer Colonell, Nuo Li and @ShaulDr and others (the MAP collaboration): cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092… (1/7)

Our work using holographic optogenetics to study recurrent activity in visual cortex is out! This work was only possible due to the great collaboration between @AdesnikHillel and @BrentDoiron labs, especially co-firsts @GHandy50 @willyhendricks and myself nature.com/articles/s41593-0…

So excited to see the second half of my dissertation work officially out in @CellReports ✨ if you’re interested in Inter-areal communications in sensory cortex check it out 💃🏻 big thanks to everyone who worked on this !!
1/ How do somatotopically-matched regions of sensory cortex interact? In our most recent paper at @CellReports, @__laurenryan__shows that whisker S1-S2 amplify touch bidirectionally via a specialized population of broadly tuned touch cells.

Does scattering limit your in vivo imaging experiments? We 'super-resolve' neurons using the same trick how PALM/STORM microscopy resolves individual molecules (1/12).

I'm very pleased to share our new collaborative study!
We identify the spinal cell type targets of two unique groups of corticospinal neurons, and how these distinct descending circuits interact with the brain.

Check out my first preprint!! Very excited to share this work 😁⚡️
Is representational drift uniform, or are some neurons more stable than others?
@alishaahmed__’s first preprint shows that in barrel cortex, a subset of neurons is unusually stable.

We found tactile object representations in the retrosplenial cortex. Neuronal responses to objects are not simply sensory but are location-dependent, often predicting the object and maintaining a memory trace of its location. cell.com/current-biology/ful…

We find that neural responses are attenuated by suppression.
That occurs via a supralinearity in the IO function.
Neurons on average sit near the top of the supralinearity, so a suppressed neuron decreases its response to input.

Final version now out.
Congrats to stellar postdoc @Audette_neuro for his new paper and his recent K99/R00 award from @NIDCD!
And he has some really cool stuff simmering, too!
TLDR: Search committees everywhere, perk up!
