Coolest (hottest?) work I’ve been part of. 🔥/❄️ striatum speeds/slows neural dynamics, causes over/under-estimation of time… both 🔥/❄️ reduce baseline neural activity, slow movement. @_MonteiroTiago_ , @rodriguesflipe , and M. Pexirra. Meaning? Read: https://t.co/m5jGh91CRK
Dopamine responses reveal efficient coding of cognitive variables: Asma Motiwala's work modeling dopamine neuron data from @sofialssoares and @Bassam_Atallah. Co-advised with Christian Machens. Rewarding AND low (representational) cost! https://t.co/qf8vpqYgMR
Direct/indirect opponency unveiled by looking at activity not during movement, but as mice proactively and dynamically suppress specific actions. Lots of little nuggets in this fantastic work by @bruno_f_cruz, supported by @sofialssoares. https://t.co/hYfMyAiZpw
Did you know you can dial up or down the speed of population dynamics using temperature? Do this in the striatum of rats and it systematically warps their judgment of time... movement speed/latency unaffected. BG -> mid level behavioral controller🔥❄️⏱ https://t.co/70czE2uEPT
