A scalable, all-optical method for mapping synaptic connectivity with cell-type specificity https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.06.25.661552v1

Congrats @mvickymoya.bsky.social!! Can’t wait to see how this will be used in the future

Mood after catching up on news:

It is a beautiful and amazing thing that a team of scientists can work for years on some intricate detailed exploration, and with just a little pdf thousands of other scientist can know and debate and discuss what they learned.

Honored for our recent work to be featured on the cover of Nature Neuroscience this month! (@mikeeconomo.bsky.social and Bluesky-less Munib Hasnain) If you’ve ever wondered about the relationship between cognitive processes and movement, check out our paper 👀

At @standupforscience.bsky.social and the signs are statistically significantly excellent

New York Times article now up on Federal Register stuff. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/s... 1/n

A large portion of grants awarded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health cannot be funded for the foreseeable future because of an indefinite hold on submissions to the Federal Register, according to an email reviewed by The Transmitter. By @avaskham.bsky.social bit.ly/3X8ngz8

Really proud and excited to share the final version of our paper, co-led by the Bluesky-less Munib Hasnain!! We asked whether cognitive and motor neural dynamics can be isolated from one another, or whether they’re driven by common neural mechanisms 1/n www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A little challenge for neuro/cog sci (/psych/comp-sci/bio/philosophy!) blueys: How would you define "cognition"?

Can the motor system use sensory expectations to prepare for unexpected events? Excited to share my latest work with @andpru.bsky.social – where we establish that sensory expectations shape neural population dynamics in motor circuits! 🧵 and paper below 1/
