Our paper is finally out (my first published first author)! In a tau model, we saw changes in signal encoding in vivo in tandem with synapse and structure alterations. A full summary in the qt below or go read the paper if you’re interested! academic.oup.com/braincomms/art…

Feedforward and disinhibitory circuits differentially control activity of cortical somatostatin interneurons during behavioral state transitions: cell.com/cell-reports/f… (OA) Locomotion strongly recruits SSTs in S1 but not V1, mainly mediated by the somatosensory thalamus.

Thesis planning+ISOT2024-Reykjavik poster 🧠🌪️ with @HarinW98; best way to do it is on the wall ;) Elisa Galliano should thank me for the wonderful decorations of her office with my beautiful figures :D

My first patched and filled neuron amongst thesis-writing! Isn't it so nice when experiments just work? Green: patched and biocytin filled olfactory bulb external tufted cell Pink: AIS Orange: vGlut2 Trace: Paired Pulse Depression with electrical stimulation at afferent fibres

112 years ago today, Franz Kafka captured the academic experience

The teal squad is going to Iceland 🇮🇸 Thanks ISOT2024-Reykjavik and ECRO for supporting the lab with travel grants, we cannot wait to bring lots of 👃🧠 data to Reykjavik

Such a fun evening we had watching the Euro2024 🇭🇷 vs 🇮🇹 in Reykjavik after a great science day at ISOT2024-Reykjavik

And it's a wrap! Thanks ISOT2024-Reykjavik for an amazing meeting 👏

Traveling for a conference

Thank you SfN Journals to have published our Journal Club about an exciting new paper from the Ramirez Lab showing how important context is in an engram reactivation 🧠📰. #JNeurosci Big thanks also to the great connor doyle who did this work with me 🙌 jneurosci.org/content/44/29/…

And of course, thanks to the Elisa Galliano lab for the ice cream celebration!! Very adapted to this summer vibe in Cambridge 😎🍦

📣Our “Icelandic” preprint is out! Led by our country-hopping, cold-adapted patcher extraordinaire Sana Gadiwalla (she/her) and done between Cambridge & the Petersen lab Háskóli Íslands, here’s our offering on the mitral vs tufted cell debate in the olfactory bulb twtr.to/AJNcX 🧵

On September 4th, Los Angeles was founded, Beyoncé was born, and Ohm and Volts became official units of measure. Most importantly, on this day, I submitted my PhD thesis! #PhD #phdlife almost #PhiniseD

What a better day than the one where ohm and volts became official to submit a PhD thesis for the great electrophysiologist that you are Li_Huang 🔬⚡🧠 Congratulations 🎉🎉👩‍🎓

First PhD thesis from the lab: submitted✅ Last 2 days of 1st lab member Li_Huang: ongoing⏩ 𝗜 𝗮𝗺 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗰𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 😭🥹

Why are some neurons more selective than others? We report now in nature how calcium permeable-AMPA receptors in PV neurons make them less selective to sensory features nature.com/articles/s4158… Long live the geniuses behind this🧠🔍juhyun.kim Thomas Hainmueller @rhuganir

So I passed my PhD viva yesterday! Massive thank you to my examiners Geoff Lau and Steve Edgley. Also thanks to my supervisor Elisa Galliano for feeding me for 4 years and occasionally teaching me some science, as well as lab friends (see below) 🍕🍝👃🧠🐭
