Out now in Current Biology: "Striatal visual responses increase prior to visuomotor learning" With @andrada_marica and @petergormanj cell.com/current-biology/ful…

Striatal visual responses increase prior to visuomotor learning

Marica et al. perform recordings from the cortex and striatum across visuomotor training. They find that visual responses increase in the visual-recipient striatum prior to learning in all cell...

How do the basal ganglia turn what you see into what you do? New preprint w/ @kennethd_harris, @flicker_fusion & Matteo Carandini: we recorded across striatum, GPe & SNr in a Go/No-Go task. Striatum encodes which stimulus, GPe & SNr encode whether to act. biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

The Peters Lab is now open at Oxford and ready to build a team! We'll study how the brain learns and controls behavior, especially in the cortex-basal ganglia-thalamus circuit. peters-lab.org/
