1/n Are biological neurons linear-nonlinear computers, like perceptrons, or is their output governed by non-linear interactions between inputs? If the activity of a neuron is well fit by linear models that sum inputs, does that mean that the neural computation actually is linear?

We are hiring a postdoc! We study neural activity and movement using holographic optogenetics in awake mice. My first postdoc is starting his own lab, so now we have an opening. Reach out if your excited about circuits, optics, coding, or ephys. https://t.co/RpJLyv5ctZ

@HelenxHou @NatureNeuro Congratulations, Helen and team!

[Yao Chen @yaochen20]

@michaelzlin So sorry and surprised to hear, Michael. We enjoyed our interactions with Pengli during our collaboration. His life was cut too short, but his contributions and goodness will have lasting impact. Sending comforting thoughts to you, your lab, and Pengli’s family.
