Anyone who knows me knows I have absolutely zero chill about this. I’ve loved stepping into this role this semester & I’m looking forward to helping to catalyze neuroscience research excellence at Penn State
New preprint, on 'sequence filtering'.
Led by Ciana Deveau, Z Zhou.
We see this as a key step forw on how cortex works.
All cortical areas have dense exc-exc recurrent connectivity.
What do these connections do, esp in sensory ctx?
Our data say: they do dynamics/time.

New paper online! In 2018, we found a human brain signal that tracks real time fluctuations in mood/anxiety. Now Adam Jackson back-translates this biomarker to mice, dissects its circuit mechanisms, & tests its causal relationship to emotional state. 🧵1/6 authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S08…
