Our new paper related to #sleep spindles and motor #memory consolidation is out in Royal Society Publishing #ProcB! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Thrilled to see this passion project out @nature: nature.com/articles/s4158… Congratulations and thanks to Aaron Kuan (now with a shiny new lab at Yale), @bondanelli_g, and all who made possible this work to reveal a connectivity principle that supports decision-making!

New paper in Current Biology!!! Tianhe Wang and colleagues identified the optimal timing of the feedback to drive motor adaptation, and it is not necessarily what you thought... Check it out! cell.com/current-biolog…

So happy to finally see this out! We harnessed the simplicity of coding in the cortical head-direction circuit (which represents a 1D circular variable 🧭) to look for principles governing interneuron tuning, which is notoriously fuzzy😵‍💫 [1/n] nature.com/articles/s4159…

New paper from the lab. With in vivo longitudinal imaging of glutamate and calcium, we explored what kind of synapses get eliminated during learning: Local and global predictors of synapse elimination during motor learning | Science Advances science.org/doi/full/10.11…

Extremely proud of this work! Thanks Stefan Lemke, it's been great working together. Looking forward to investigating the very interesting follow-up questions!!

Very excited to announce the first release of NeMoS (NEural MOdelS) a package for neural data analysis that supports GPU acceleration. Check out our tutorials and try it on your data now! Docs nemos.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ Github github.com/flatironinstit… Profile x.com/nemos_neuro

Excited to present at #FENS2024! Curious about the evolution of info flow in the cortico-striatal network during skill learning? Using novel info-theoretic tools we found a drastic reversal in the main direction of info flow with learning. See you on Wed. at 2pm, poster PS02-457!

Extremely excited by (and proud of) this groundbreaking work by Lahiru Wimalasena in colab w/Nick AuYong. Toward an understanding of the regional organization of spinal population state space. x.com/lahiruwim3/sta…

New preprint! “N2 Sleep Inspires Insight” – dream collab (pun intended) with my partner in crime Marit Petzka and Nico Schuck biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

1/3 Colleagues & I at International Brain Laboratory repeated a behav/ephys experiment 121 times in 10 labs to test reproducibility. Vulnerabilities emerged. Probe targeting was sometimes off (despite standardized instruments) & common single-neuron analyses were variable. thetransmitter.org/electrophysiol…

We are doing this again for the 2024-2025 UCSF Neuroscience Graduate Program Neuroscience Formal Seminar Series! Postdocs, apply to give a talk and get to know the UCSF Neuroscience community. Send CV and short abstract to [email protected]. Nominate yourself or others!

Life update! Last week I started a new job at @defendourhealth. While I will miss life in the lab, I'm excited to embark on this new journey exploring science policy, the nonprofit world, and environmental justice with such an inspiring group of people.

A post-SfN reflection: The social dynamics at SfN poster sessions are always fascinating. But also sometimes frustrating. e.g.: A trainee in my lab (woman) mentioned noticing presenters ignoring her whenever there were other men at the poster. 😞 1/3

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…
