Our lab's first preprint is out! A fully quantitative digital pathology study of amyloid and tau pathology using human hippocampal sections from the USC ADRC. Many interesting findings point toward diffuse amyloid as the main contributor to amyloid burden and cognitive impairment

The cortico-tectal projectome of @Lucid_Primate @UCLABRAIN provides a structural basis for understanding how this system integrates sensory modalities, translates sensory information into motor commands, and coordinates action in goal-directed behaviors https://t.co/c3NKFLQoAY

What do we currently know in terms of the basic neurobiology of #psychedelics? It was illuminating for me to try answering this question with @DEOlsonLab @KatrinPreller and @zenbrainest in a new review article @NatureNeuro: https://t.co/gK0ZEUCkJG 1/n

Announcing the most comprehensive map of any part of the mammalian brain ever released. Dozens of #BICCN-supported teams joined forces to complete a cell-by-cell atlas of the primary motor cortex. #studyBRAIN https://t.co/CxZseElOV6

Very exciting to see my PhD manuscript included among this grand collection of comprehensive and collaborative studies through the NIH’s BRAIN Initiative Cell Census Network. Congrats to all #BICCN members! @Nature

Newly #published article by @Lucid_Primate! Be sure to check out her work delineating brain-wide collicular connectivity. #phdlife #PhDone #PhD #AcademicTwitter #workhard #neuroscience

[Michael S Bienkowski @neuralmapping]

Congrats to the recently minted Dr. @Lucid_Primate on her new paper in Nature Communications!

Nora found the Superior Colliculus contains 4 mediolateral zones with distinct i/o connectivity (wiring diagram). Important for multisensory integration!

[Nora Benavidez @Lucid_Primate]

Thank you for the love and support always 🥰@jannafur

[Jannifer Lee, PhD @jannafur]

My brilliant bestie @Lucid_Primate defended her PhD thesis @USCNGP and I’m so proud of how much she’s been able to accomplish. So many endless nights tech-ing together @MIT to the years of building your PhD project.. you did it bae😭 #PhDone

[Nora Benavidez @Lucid_Primate]

@SteveStuWill @gpetzinger this is amazing.

[Nora Benavidez @Lucid_Primate]

Check our our lab’s newest publication led by Dr. Houri Hintiryan! Congrats to the whole team in this incredible work.

"A major goal in neuroscience is to decipher the neural code at work in the brain. Over the past 20 years, various neural recording and manipulation tools have emerged to better establish the integral links between the neural code and behaviors." Latest story by @LilyZou1
