From a great collaboration with @LorenzoPosani , Shuqi Wang, Samuel Muscinelli, Liam Paninski, now in Nature: nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Rarely categorical, highly separable representations along the cortical hierarchy

Nature - Cortical circuits prioritize diversity over categorical structure, supporting a computational regime geared towards high-dimensional, highly separable neural representations.

Regarding our interneuron enhancer paper!! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… Breaking News!!! Addgene has just released them: addgene.org/browse/article/2…

An enhancer-AAV toolbox to target and manipulate distinct interneuron subtypes

In recent years, we and others have identified a number of enhancers that, when incorporated into rAAV vectors, can restrict the transgene expression to particular neuronal populations. Yet, viral...

Sappy post incoming... my 1st year on TT I found out my hips had degenerated to the point that I'd need to get both totally replaced. Terrifying to hear esp when starting a lab. BUT super grateful to be back, bionic and running around a conference sharing my science with ppl. 🦾
