As we step into summer, we’re taking a moment to reflect on an amazing past year and offer a warm welcome aboard to our new lab members, @emanuelmcoleman.bsky.social‬ and Henry Asher! We’re thrilled to have you join the Saez Lab team and look forward to an exciting year ahead.

I'm looking forward to seeing how these findings complement our work in human models & how, together, these approaches can move us toward a unified understanding of the neural mechanisms that shape our decisions.

Big congrats to @intlbrainlab.bsky.social on two groundbreaking new papers! Based on the most comprehensive map of mouse brain activity yet, their findings show how decision-making is both widely distributed and shaped by past experience. Read more: www.thetransmitter.org/decision-mak...

🚨New preprint alert🚨 We used closed-loop optogenetics to causally test the importance of inhibitory spike timing in network function and found that manipulating PV+ cell theta phase locking in the dentate gyrus can shift seizure susceptibility (both ways!)

Had such a great time in Napa Valley at the @onemindorg.bsky.social Summit on the Future of Mental Health Research 🧠 As a past One Mind Rising Star Awardee, it was so inspiring to connect with other awardees and see the incredible research being done by this year’s winners ⭐️
