Very excited to share that the Batista-Brito lab recently got a Whitehall Foundation and a NARSAD grant! We are recruiting postdocs interested in studying neonatal cortical development using cutting-edge in vivo strategies. We encourage minorities to apply. Please RT!

Such a nice summary figure of our paper 🤩🤩

A newly identified activity in the brain that occurs while we sleep—a barrage of action potentials, or a BARR—plays a crucial role in rebalancing the hippocampal neural network during memory consolidation.

Eager to share isoCycle! If interested in neural dynamics across timescales, it might be worth exploring

Check out our latest paper with @matteosaponati, who proposes a way to understand synaptic credit assignment and spike-time-dependent-plasticity based on predictive learning and sequence anticipation
21 Aug 2023
I am thrilled that, finally, our paper “Sequence anticipation and spike-timing-dependent plasticity emerge from a predictive learning rule” is now freely available @NatureComms

Are you passionate about inhibitory neurons?
Don’t miss the next Gordon Conference on "Inhibition in the Central Nervous System" in Les Diablerets, Switzerland in July 2023, co-chairs @bartos_marlene and @Rico_lab and vice-chairs @GordFishell and @attila_losonczy

@Spiegel_Lab gave compelling evidence that Hebbian disturbances short term lead to long term homeostatic changes in activity dependent changes. Activity-dependent plasticity comes down to two fundamental mechanisms linking over time. Nice stuff!

Very excited to get this work led by @LeenaAIbrahim and Brie Wamsley out in eLife. It does a lovely job showing how Nova2 mediates alternative splicing in somatostatin interneurons. doi.org/10.7554/eLife.86842

For those of you who may have missed it, here is a new paper on the surprisingly selective connectivity of cortical somatostatin cells that we just published in @NeuroCellPress ! @JJSherryWU @elaine_sevier authors.elsevier.com/a/1hKi6…

We're looking for a research assistant for next year. It's an ideal position for a grad who wants a bit of research experience in circuit & system neuro as a bridge to MSc/PhD course applications. It will be very hands-on - patching, lasers etc. Please RT

Updated version of new work by @kt_ferguson and several other lab folks! Cortical VIP cells aren't just for disinhibition or state-dependent modulation, they also regulate size tuning and have a context-dependent role in visual perception. 🔬🐭🧠biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
