My paper with Blaise Robert and Daniel Polley is out Neuron! We studied how the cholinergic basal forebrain helps the cortex to find associations between events that are well separated in time. cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

New data on the role of #BasalForebrain cholinergic neurons in associative learning. Nice work from the Polley lab.

There are two types of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons. They unite when responding to reward and punishment - and do pretty much everything else differently. Our new paper is out Nature Neuroscience nature.com/articles/s4159…

Does scattering limit your in vivo imaging experiments? We 'super-resolve' neurons using the same trick how PALM/STORM microscopy resolves individual molecules (1/12).
