Our work on 'Distributed coding of choice, action, and engagement across the mouse brain' is published today in Nature! With peterzh, Matteo Carandini, and Kenneth D Harris. Here's a quick recap and what's new since bioRxiv. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Does anyone know software or websites to organize scientific projects - something hierarchical, starting at big questions and branching into references/experiments/figures?

When you see an unlabeled coronal section, which direction do you assume you're looking from?

Proud to share that my PhD work with is finally published and available open access in Current Biology! Cortical State Fluctuations during Sensory Decision Making cell.com/current-biolog… Here comes a whirlwind summary... 1/14

"Striatal activity topographically reflects cortical activity": the relationship between cortical and striatal activity is topographic, consistent, causal, and scalable with learning (w/ Julie Fabre Nick Steinmetz Kenneth D Harris Matteo Carandini) nature.com/articles/s4158…

Postdoc job alert: we are looking for those fascinated by neuronal signals, precise behavior and models that bridge the gap between these. We promise stimulating science, fun and diversity. Also, Oxford's best view and free coffee! Apply here: my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit…

The Sprague Lab has a job opening for a Junior Specialist to help with ongoing projects in the lab. Full ad here: recruit.ap.ucsb.edu/JPF02013. Read more about our work at spraguelab.psych.ucsb.edu

Neuropixels trajectory explorer: plan Neuropixels trajectories in the mouse brain (in Matlab or as application) github.com/petersaj/neuro… (upgrades from previous version include CCF scaling, buttons, removed dependencies)

Neuropixels trajectory explorer updates: atlas is now scaled and rotated to provide a closer match to an average mouse with a leveled bregma/lambda = more accurate to hit small/deep structures (matlab) github.com/petersaj/neuro…

Neuropixels Trajectory Explorer, now also for rats: github.com/petersaj/neuro…

"Visuomotor learning promotes visually evoked activity in the medial prefrontal cortex" (w/ Andrada Marica, Julie Fabre, Kenneth D Harris, Matteo Carandini) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The Peters Lab is now open at Oxford and ready to build a team! We'll study how the brain learns and controls behavior, especially in the cortex-basal ganglia-thalamus circuit. peters-lab.org

"Visuomotor learning promotes visually evoked activity in the medial prefrontal cortex" Out now in Cell Reports: cell.com/cell-reports/f… with Andrada Marica, Julie Fabre, Kenneth D Harris, & Matteo Carandini

The Peters Lab is looking for a postdoc! Join us at Department of Physiology Anatomy & Genetics (DPAG) to investigate how the cortex-basal ganglia-thalamus circuit works. Lab website: peters-lab.org Apply here: my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit…

The Peters Lab is looking for a postdoc - taking applications for one more week (until Aug 21) Join us at Department of Physiology Anatomy & Genetics (DPAG) to investigate how the cortex-basal ganglia-thalamus circuit works. Lab website: peters-lab.org Apply here: my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit…
