My theory is that our universe, and everything in it, is a computer simulation made by a highschool student of some advanced civilization. Not even a particularly bright one. He hard coded that nothing can go faster than the speed of light just because it would make the math more complicated. (1/2)

Kilosort4 detects a LOT of neurons, I recorded 15k neurons in one year 🤯 Traditionally, one would curate these detected units to see if they are well isolated single neurons. This is not feasible anymore, so today let's look at three options that are out there to automate this process! 🤖👇

Should you stick to your goal, try something else, or give up? Your median raphe nucleus in the brainstem knows and will decide for you 😉. First foray of my lab into foraging, behavioural strategies and exploration. Amazing work from the one and only Mehran Ahmadlou: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A cortical microcircuit model reveals the unique functional roles of PV and SOM cells in controlling network oscillations and stability. The model predicts hierarchical gradients in oscillation frequencies & seizure propensity based on SOM/PV densities and activation. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I just completely refactored the code base for Power Pixels, my python-based pipeline for processing of Neuropixel recordings. The pipeline is now much easier to use! So if you're doing Neuropixel recordings (with SpikeGLX), check it out: github.com/NeuroNetMem/...

Curious how place cells adapt to uncertainty in reward location? We found that predictable changes boost “reward place cells” & warp hippocampal maps. Check out our new preprint: with Feng Xuan, Jack Mellor, Peter Dayan and Dan Dombeck: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
