How does

#hippocampus
& postdoc on visual cortex and superior colliculus, it's such a joy to start closing the loop - especially with such a great team! đ

Incredibly excited to share the latest published work from the lab:
www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
. Using a range of techniques, including closed-loop optogenetics, we show that the ACC modulates pupil linked arousal in real time. Great summary of our findings here:
