Congratulations to Dr. Zach Hobel, who beautifully defended his dissertation!!! Well done!!! The lab and I are so proud of everything you've accomplished!

[Stony Brook Department of Neurobiology & Behavior @SBUNeurobiology]

Please share!
The applications are open for this year's BRITE postdoctoral seminar series! We are excited to host three postdoctoral researchers to present their work with us here at SBU.

Phase delays between mouse globus pallidus neurons entrained by common oscillatory drive arise from their intrinsic properties, not their coupling https://t.co/CUSOVypNAP

[Josh Goldberg Lab 🇮🇱💔 @GoldbergLab]

GPe neurons are uncorrelated, but in PD become oscillatory & correlated, allegedly disrupting independent channels thru the basal ganglia. Our new preprint, w/ the Wilson lab, shows how phase response curves of independent GP neurons driven by sinusoids predict these correlations

[PlotkinLab @lab_plotkin]

Great work, once again, from @GoldbergLab and @LTiroshi !!!

[LiorTiroshi @LTiroshi]

I’m thrilled to share that our latest research, unveiling the unreliability of striatal neural responses through a unique application of sparse labeling, has been officially published!
