My PhD paper is out! Huge thanks to all members of @NeuralCompLab and especially @llerussell @hwpdalgleish and @paqio for making it a great experience!
Most neurons in the cortex remain silent, even during sensory stimulation and behavior. What are these silent neurons good for? This is known as the “dark matter problem” of the brain. We address this problem in our @NeuroCellPress study led by @omgauld

Pleased to announce I've received an Early-Career Award from @wellcometrust. Excited to spend the next 5 years studying the neural circuit mechanisms for economic decision-making with @AnnDuan2 and @SWC_Neuro!
Very excited to have posted a new preprint on my PhD work in the @brody_lab where we show that rats can achieve near-optimal time investment in a confidence-guided waiting task https://t.co/ogMkGIMN6w.
Please RT!
@erlichlab and my lab are jointly recruiting 2 fully-funded postdocs (theorists and experimentalists) to work on multi-agent economic decision-making, towards understanding cognition in psychiatric conditions. Come work with us at the amazing @SWC_Neuro!
We (@dkneurolab) are looking for postdocs to join our lab at King's @dev_neuro in sunny London to study how the cerebellum collaborate with different forebrain regions in the execution of goal-directed behaviour. Please share! Link to apply here: https://t.co/KcLVwu4qrZ
@fltomaska@NeuralCompLab @llerussell @hwpdalgleish@paqio Yes that’s correct - we use the SLM to target 30 neurons simultaneously. However, due to variability in opsin expression (across different FOVs) and strong cortical inhibition, we find that not all of the 30 target neurons are reliably activated across experiments.

When does the cortex matter for perception? Our new study addresses this question using all-optical interrogation in visual cortex.

Thanks to the @ERC_Research starting grant funding #ERCStG, we are hiring two postdoctoral fellows to work on the neural circuit mechanisms of flexible decision-making under risk and social influence. Please RT!

Our lab is hiring a Research Assistant, please RT!
Come join our team to study the neural circuit mechanisms underlying flexible decisions under risk and social influence.
Out today – all-optical interrogation lore from ~10 years of work (and thousands of postdoc and student hours) compressed into a single @NatureProtocols article!

So you want to try an all-optical interrogation experiment, but are daunted by the complexity? Then this preprint is for you! It provides a detailed guide to designing and executing experiments using simultaneous 2-photon optogenetics and 2-photon imaging: https://t.co/TABse2HvfP
Our study using all-optical interrogation to manipulate visual perception is out on bioRxiv. Great work by @llerussell and the team (and thanks to @selmaanchettih and Chris Harvey).
