For the last 18 months or so, our neuroscience researchers have been sharing their research findings with ballet dancers and a choreographer. They're about to see what it looks like on stage. b.gatech.edu/2ZFBjBr

Artificial intelligence could be the key to faster, universal brain-machine interfaces for paralyzed patients. Check out Chethan Pandarinath’s new NIH Common Fund NINDSfunding award to help reconnect the body & brain. #NIHHighRisk #CoulterBME bme.gatech.edu/bme/news/panda…

Please RT! Georgia Tech/Emory invite you to apply to become a Fellow in our NIH/NIBIB Computational Neural Engineering Training Program (GT/Emory Computational Neural Engineering Program)!

Ever wonder what might be happening in the brain as you become an expert in something? Me too! Excited about our paper that just came out in Nature Communications with Christian Waiblinger at the helm. rdcu.be/cFORk #adaptordie

Oh man, what an effect. Who made this?

Why do we know so little about how the brain integrates signals from two sides of the body? The first part of our project on this topic is now published, with Dr. Aurelie Pala at the helm! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35135855/

Researchers have long been trying to test the theory that the thalamus is the gatekeeper for controlling what we sense of the world. A team in Garrett Stanley’s lab is describing a dynamic gating of signaling of touch in a new @NeuronCellPress paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.neur…

Excited about a marathon study whose nucleus started for me 20+ years ago! Great work from Peter Borden, Caleb Wright, and team on Thalamic Gating of Sensory Signaling, hot off the press at Neuron! Lots of good non-science stories about getting this out! authors.elsevier.com/a/1fNBb3BtfH1Y…

PhD student Elaida Dimwamwa has earned a unique student+advisor fellowship from @HHMINEWS for rising stars. The program supports her work & offers her advisor Garrett Stanley support to develop his mentoring skills. #GilliamFellows b.gatech.edu/3BkHT16

Congratulations Elaida Dimwamwa from our laboratory for being selected for the HHMI Gilliam Advanced Studies Program! Excited and honored to be part of this! Happy Gilliam Day!!! #GilliamFellows @HHMINEWS b.gatech.edu/3BkHT16

We out here at #AAIC22! 🧠 Come see me at my poster (P1-220) between 12:30 - 2:15 pm to learn about locus coeruleus effects on the BOLD global signal in Alzheimer’s! #BlackInNeuro

Game Therapy, Wearable Microphones and Safer DBS technology are just a few novel therapeutics being developed by the latest McCamish Parkinson's Blue Sky research teams. #Parkinsons #Parkinsonsdisease bme.gatech.edu/bme/news/robot…

Congrats to Peter Borden and Caleb Wright in their recent Neuron paper “Thalamic bursting and the role of timing and synchrony in thalamocortical signaling in the awake mouse”. See News & Views by Wyche and O’Connor. 1/6. cell.com/neuron/fulltex… cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

Four decades ago, Crick proposed a provocative hypothesis – that the thalamus serves as a dynamic gate for controlling what we sense about the outside world. Until recently, the techniques just simply didn’t exist to test this theory. 2/6

Using optogenetics with multi-site electrophysiology, we describe a dynamic gating of signaling of touch that is highly sensitive to precise timing of neural activity, which could underlie changes in how we sense during different states of arousal. 3/6

Optogenetic hyperpolarization of thalamus induced sensory-driven bursting that enhanced the cortical response through increased timing precision, more focused spatial activation, and increased synchronization of cortical inhibitory neurons. 4/6

A thalamocortical network model implicated the modulation of precise timing of feedforward thalamic population spiking, presenting a highly sensitive, timing-based gating of sensory signaling to the cortex. 5/6

Where next? Behavior! 6/6
