What is the computational role of dendritic excitations? Byung Hun Lee and team mapped voltage dynamics throughout the dendritic trees of CA1 pyramidal neurons in mice navigating in virtual reality. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

SCN2A is a top risk gene for autism. But how does losing one copy of it affect dendritic function during flexible decision-making? 🧬🐭🧠🧪 Our study in preprint @biorxivpreprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Supported by a @simonsfoundation.org SFARI Pilot Award 🙌 #SCN2A #cureSCN2A

The terrestrial analogue of mass coral bleaching?

My debut on BlueSky! Here’s how we harvest the firing of neurons to see them better in the living brain! 👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41... Grateful for the amazing dyes from @rhodamine110.bsky.social and insightful suggestions from @adamezracohen.bsky.social !

It's been done for a while, accepted almost a year ago, but I'm happy to share that my first analysis of the MICrONs cubic mm dataset is online! nature.com/articles/s41...

I know there's a 𝒍𝒐𝒕 going on right now, but I couldn’t be prouder to share this long-incubated labor of love: the complete connectome of the male 𝐷𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑜𝑝ℎ𝑖𝑙𝑎 optic lobe 🧠🪰 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
