Using fancy lasers and holograms to understand the neural code. Currently a post-doc in the Adesnik Lab at UCBerkeley. 🧠 Also a proud cat dad and step-cat-dad.

Happy Pride month!

A straightforward logic in which space and feature preference of cortical ensembles in mouse V1 determine their impact on local recurrent activity

Our work using holographic optogenetics to study recurrent activity in visual cortex is out! This work was only possible due to the great collaboration between @AdesnikHillel and @BrentDoiron labs, especially co-firsts @GHandy50 @willyhendricks and myself https://t.co/UBoLcSwFlF

@SfNtweets not continuing the annual tradition of extending the abstract deadline by 2 days this year? 🙏😬

[Ian Antón Oldenburg @ianOldenburg]

I'm looking for a postdoc to join my new lab. We use fancy optics (Multiphoton Holographic Optogenetics) to understand how neural codes drive movements.

I'm really into mentoring, and making the postdoc experience a good one!

New Preprint: The Logic of Recurrent Circuits in the Primary Visual Cortex. A fantastic collaboration with co-first authors (@willyhendricks, @GHandy50, me) and a great hand-in-hand experimenter/theorist partnership (Labs: @AdesnikHillel and @BrentDoiron) https://t.co/UHgNz2uU5L

Ah yes, polymers, my speciality!

[Will Hendricks @willyhendricks]

@mottcallie I believe it’s primarily the former- sucrose doesn’t pass through NaV and isn’t otherwise harmful or have any major interactions. Whether it has other protective qualities I’m not sure.

[Will Hendricks @willyhendricks]

Proud to share some of our lab's amazing new work developing and characterizing new opsins for 2-photon optogenetics finally out now in Neuron! Congrats to the first authors and everyone else who helped in this collaborative effort! https://t.co/8SXTdE8GEk

My favorite part of writing is rearranging my house.

[Will Hendricks @willyhendricks]

@kathleen_beeson @JPhysiol That’s an incredible image!! Even for you! Congrats on the paper 🥳

[Portland Timbers @TimbersFC]

Hey @SportsCenter you might wanna give this one a look. #RCTID

[Will Hendricks @willyhendricks]

Going to be a great lab!

[Ian Antón Oldenburg @ianOldenburg]

The Oldenburg Lab website is now live! https://t.co/pH5naGID8o The lab is opening up in May 2022 and will use light to study neural codes. Let me know if you're interested in being a part of it.

[Will Hendricks @willyhendricks]

Plus it makes for pretty movies! (Credit to @ianOldenburg for this one) Here we used holographic optogenetics to rapidly activate ensembles of individual neurons in L2/3 of V1 while imaging GCaMP7s responses.

[Will Hendricks @willyhendricks]

Check out our new preprint! We have a cool new transgenic cre-reporter mouse that expresses soma-targeted GCaMP7s and ChroME- perfect for all optical experiments in vivo! https://t.co/vbnwCC36xp

[Hayley Bounds @HayleyBounds]

Check out our preprint on a transgenic mouse expressing soma-targeted ChroME and GCaMP7s. Great for all-optical experiments like the 2p stim in this video! Big thanks to the Adesnik lab team and @AllenInstitute https://t.co/zvD8EXys5V

[SLB @SLBconference]

Summer is coming to an end but today in our #SLBOnlineSeries21 we are taking you to sunny California for a peek into the Adesnik lab at UC Berkeley. Check out how the lab is using advanced microscopes to crack the neural codes of perception!

Time to start mining neurons ⛏⛏

[Guido Meijer @guido_meijer]

Excited to share my latest findings! I found that single neurons in the mouse brain encoded the price of cryptocurrencies 🪙 Here is a neuron from the visual cortex which shows a highly significant correlation with the Bitcoin price at the time it was recorded.
A thread 👇

[Will Hendricks @willyhendricks]

We also provide a wide-range 2p spectra and measured how much depolarization the imaging laser alone causes (ie. crosstalk) for our new (ChroME2f and ChroME2s) opsins and existing variants.

[Will Hendricks @willyhendricks]

Excited to share and have been a part of this collaborative effort to make ultra fast AND potent opsins for 2p optogenetics!! https://t.co/wjVvZX1WJg
