I wanted to share some of my thoughts on today's Supreme Court decision on affirmative action:

Haven't been on here in a hot second, but excited to announce that Paul Middlebrooks will be joining the lab starting next month! Let's answer some exciting questions!!!

Hey if you are at #SfN2023 and interested in multi area cell type specific electrophysiology during trial and error learning come check out my poster The Yttri Lab Society for Neuroscience (SfN)

1/5 NATURE METHODS TWEETPRINT! Do you have a specific, nuanced, or rare set of behaviors you want to extract from video/pose estimation data? Want to extract those better and with a tenth of the training? Regardless of species, A-SOiD is here to help nature.com/articles/s4159…

Yes there was a time in lab where I did have to care for slime molds...

*New preprint* - We (Tim Verstynen, Jonathan Rubin and I) show how cortico-basalganglia-thalamic networks can maximize reward rate 🙂 - biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Researchers in The Yttri Lab discovered how the motor cortex and striatum work together to create movement. cmu.edu/mcs/news-event…

Hello all! Please give this a read - and amplify! #SimCo2024 #ThankAMonkey #EndSufferingThruScience jneurosci.org/content/44/37/…

When you fail to perform at your best right when it matters the most, what's going on in your brain? We can now provide an explanation: Exceptionally high stakes interfere with motor preparation. We can see this in motor cortex. Next up: finding out why. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

After some lovely updates thanks to reviewer/editor feedback, this work is now published in Neuron! cell.com/article/S08966… We find monotonic reward signals in M1/PMd, and interactions of reward value with neural reach signals that correlate with an inverted-U in performance

I am glad to share our Bruno Averbeck Ramon Bartolo @rbartolo.bsky.social recent work published in Neuron. We examined the neural mechanisms involved in learning from the gains and losses of symbolic reinforcers in the ventral frontostriatal circuitry. 🧠authors.elsevier.com/a/1jpyf3BtfH9B…

Hey if you are still around #Sfn24 this afternoon and interested in cell type-specific cortex and striatum concurrent recordings during trial and error learning, come check out our work The Yttri Lab Society for Neuroscience (SfN) #sfn2024

26 years after Larry Swanson emphasized “the amygdala is neither a structural or functional unit” we used sn-RNAseq to answer the question: “What is the [primate] amygdala?” Check out the preprint 👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Pls RT!! Do you study the brain and how we can make use of its signals? Come join our exciting faculty at CMU and @cmuneurosci. As please feel free to reach out with any questions. jobs.chronicle.com/job/37737078/a…

The first preprint of my postdoc with Dud{man,Lab}🇺🇦 is now online! Here we wanted to understand the algorithms mice use when learning to forage in large environments with many potential resources. 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

#JNeurosci: Andrew Papale, Captain Hooks Lab, et al. mapped out connections between neurons in mice that form the cellular basis of coordinated movement planning across the two hemispheres of the frontal cortex. PittMed jneurosci.org/lookup/DOI/10.…

Thank you so much to Jackie Birnbaum and munib hasnain for presenting their recent paper today at CMU Biological Sciences @cmuneurosci Exciting approach to understand how to explain neural data and movement nature.com/articles/s4159…
