Finally out @NatureNeuro with @anne_churchland, @XRichardSun, @YinChaoqun, and our twittlerless colleagues. go.nature.com/3Hb9ovs 🥳
Also, check out the great partner paper from @hm_mohan, revealing cell type-specific cortical subnetworks during feeding. rdcu.be/c4llH
Our study on mesoscale cortical activity in different pyramidal neuron types is finally out on biorxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…. Excitatory cell types show unique cortex-wide dynamics and task-related activity! Big thanks to @xrichardsun and @anne_churchland!
Short thread below.

Exicted to share our new preprint on how mice transfer sensory information and working memory across hemispheres. Quick answer, it depends on the mouse! Heroic work by @elad_avidan1 with help from @ShlomoSherer. Most difficult mouse training ever!

Our work with @BenschZimmer on the role of DNMT1 for interneuron migration and function is now out as an editors highlight at nature communications (nature.com/ncomms/editorshig…). Very happy that I could contribute to this great work and seeing it online :)

Super excited to share our preprint on cortex-wide dynamics of different layers across leearning, by @yaelesther with collab. Robert Sachdev and @mattlark! Take home message: learning is NOT about the cortical column, it's extra-columnar! Please repost!

Our work is officially online now! 🥳🥳@MelinMaxwell @rojasbowe_ @anne_churchland
Key points: 1st, we found that, consistent with previous studies, consecutive trials within behavioral sessions of a decision-making task can be divided into engaged and disengaged states. (1/8)
Online now: Spontaneous movements and their relationship to neural activity fluctuate with latent engagement states dlvr.it/TLg5tC
Very happy to finally have this project out!
UnitRefine is a toolbox to facilitate spike sorting curation by learning from expert-labeled datasets. Trained on Neuropixels recordings and tested across species and labs, it achieves high accuracy and generalizes well to unseen data.
Finally out this amazing tool developed by @AnoushkaJain3 for automated spike sorting!!! @simonMusall For neuropixels and spiking data users, it is worth a try! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Check out the repo (github.com/anoushkajain/Unit…) and Spikeinterface documentation (spikeinterface.readthedocs.i…) for tutorials and more info. Still work in progress, feedback is welcome!
Huge team effort by @AnoushkaJain3 @RobynBGreene @buccino_alessio @MatthiasHennig6 and many others!
Now finally out in @NatureComms ! The new version includes major additions to explore the role of surround suppression in the processing of broadband visual stimuli in the visual system of mice. Congratulations to @elisabetaballa and the whole team! nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
New study on bioRxiv where we investigate how the visual system encodes complex visual stimuli with various statistical features of the natural scenery and how they affect visual perception: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Fun collaboration with @elisabetaballa and Bjoern Kampa.

First preprint from my lab led by @Yunyao_Xie @yijiaaaaaa7 . Parents are often faced with challenging environmental conditions, and therefore need to risk their own safety to protect and raise the offspring.
Please check out how maternal motivation overcomes innate fear. 1/n

Check by a 5yr journey of the lab in mice & humans, just up on bioRxiv! Post-ictal symptoms can be life-threatening, & basic mechanisms are mostly unclear. 1/2 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

And twitterless PhD student Alice Despatin presenting her work on multisensory-decision making in the frontal cortex and superior colliculus at #FENS.
Super proud of the group for this team effort!
Stellar PhD student @AnoushkaJain3 presenting her work on our automated curation module for identification of noise, multi-, and single-unit activity in electrophysiology data at #FENS. Now fully integrated into the @spikeinterface workflow.
If you want to improve your spike-sorting experience, test it on your own data!

We need your help for TENSS to carry on and inspire the next generations of neuroscientists. Logistics costs have increased and funding sources are becoming scarcer. We are counting on support from the community. Please donate and spread the word!
