So proud of this paper led by Pingping Zhao where we use miniaturized microscopy in nucleus Accumbens and optogenetics to discover how activity in D1 and D2 MSNs reciprocally modulate social interaction and altered in a model of autism.

Very excited about this new preprint by Karen Safaryan and team who recorded from V1 and ACC during attentional switching on a cross modal attention task. We see a persistent representation of the attended stimulus after offset.

1/ Excited to share our bioRxiv preprint from my time in @pgolshani’s lab on how V1 and ACC keep task-relevant stimuli represented after they disappear: biorxiv.org/content/10.648… We recorded both areas in mice performing an audiovisual set-shifting task.
A few broader takeaways 🧵

Very proud of this new preprint led by Ronen Reshef and Mina Shahi. By adapting miniscopes for recordings in mice swimming in the Morris water maze, they find NMDA-R dependent refinement of hippocampal spatial representations during learning. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…
