My PhD paper is out! Huge thanks to all members of @NeuralCompLab and especially @llerussell @hwpdalgleish and @paqio for making it a great experience!

Most neurons in the cortex remain silent, even during sensory stimulation and behavior. What are these silent neurons good for? This is known as the “dark matter problem” of the brain. We address this problem in our @NeuroCellPress study led by @omgauld doi.org/10.1016/j.neuron.202…

Very excited to have posted a new preprint on my PhD work in the @brody_lab where we show that rats can achieve near-optimal time investment in a confidence-guided waiting task biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/….

A cognitive process model captures near-optimal confidence-guided waiting in rats

Rational decision-makers invest more time pursuing rewards they are more confident they will eventually receive. A series of studies have therefore used willingness to wait for delayed rewards as a...

So you want to try an all-optical interrogation experiment, but are daunted by the complexity? Then this preprint is for you! It provides a detailed guide to designing and executing experiments using simultaneous 2-photon optogenetics and 2-photon imaging: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
