The cholinergic system sends a massive projection to auditory cortex. Here we show that L6 excitatory neurons are just as potent hubs of cholinergic modulation as the classic L1 interneuron-mediated circuit.

Latent learning drives sleep-dependent plasticity in distinct CA1 subpopulations https://t.co/85CWZhcwqR

[Kishore Kuchibhotla @kishoreneuro]

1/ A century ago, Tolman showed that meaningful learning can occur even without apparent performance improvements. What is the neural basis of this distinction between learning something vs learning to perform? We tackle this in a new manuscript 🔥 🐭🔬📰

Thrilled to have WenXi's thesis work out in the world! Over the past few years, WenXi has made some cool discoveries about how the brain learns to predict the consequence of an action. 1/9

Congratulations to @karin_mdll, @RodrigoTrianaD2 & Audrey Yin on a lovely new study out in @SfNJournals #JNeuroscience!

We find widespread movement modulation throughout auditory cortex (A1 + other areas) during locomotion, grooming, and other behaviors.

Excited to share a new pre-print from @PolleyLab led by Matt McGill (not on twitter): https://t.co/veJdF6QdEf

Matt developed a 2AFC loudness classification behavior to study loudness reporting and discovered a perceptual volume knob in auditory cortex. (1/4)

@DanielBAharoni It is undoubtedly curling. The process looks exactly like academia because your teammates are like Woah, Woah, Hurry! And then your opponents knock your dataset out completely.

[Blaise Robert @trail_blaise]

Delighted to share our newest paper, out in @eLife!
We uncover a degree of functional specialization within the cholinergic basal forebrain. This adds granularity to our understanding of what has long been considered as a single monolithic structure.
