It’s an incredible feeling to see something you’ve poured your heart into come to life. This work was born from my curiosity about hippocampal “cognitive tuning.” Our interpretation of the environment depends on our actions, constantly evolving as we pursue our goals www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New work from @declanrowley.bsky.social & I - where we use simulations, and reanalysis of published data to argue that most of the higher order visual areas in the mouse are really subparts of a single area V2. We want feedback, specially from anyone who disagrees. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

More holiday gifts from the lab. Out in Cell Reports, beautiful work by Dr. Karolina Socha reveals how nasal, back-to-front visual motion can trigger arousal-related behavioral state changes that modulate responsiveness and stimulus selectivity in the mouse visual thalamus. doi.org/10.1016/j.ce...
