The hyperlinks in the final pdf it creates are okay, right? 😱

New preprint from the lab! 🚀
We find that hippocampal OLM interneurons provide a circuit-level inhibitory feedback signal that dynamically controls when and where behavioral timescale synaptic plasticity can occur.
Feedback welcome!

Congrats Megan!!

Canonical cortical architecture supports the emergence of noise-invariant auditory representations Neurons in the auditory system must represent behaviorally relevant sounds in the presence of background noise (BN) to support noise-invariant perception and behavior. Although primary auditory cortex...

Just in time for Xmas! Check out some new work from my lab looking at noise-invariant representations in excitatory cell-types! Congrats to Tommy Suarez-Omedas! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Moravec's Paradox and the Robot Olympics By fine-tuning our latest model, we were able to solve a series of very difficult manipulation challenge tasks.

The most impressive robotics video I've seen in a while: www.pi.website/blog/olympics. I regret that my peak dish-doing/clothes folding years have come before everyone has one of these in their house.

A figure from our preprint showing ABR data as a line plot for sounds from the left and right at different sound levels.

1/4 New preprint! We designed an open-source system for auditory brainstem response (ABR), a research & clinical auditory test. Costs $400 to build (vs $10K to buy a proprietary one) and works great! All open-source if you want to make one for your lab or classroom. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

An almost 20th anniversary, whole-brain edition of Sakata and @kenneth-harris.bsky.social's great work on sequences in auditory cortex from 2008, congrats!

Btw, I still have open positions available for post-docs. Esp if you’re interested in applying modern dimensionality reduction approaches to in vivo Ca2+ imaging or ephys datasets. Please get in touch pierre.apostolides@umich.edu

Our lab is hoping to hire a long-term lab manager / research associate to help with admin tasks and neuroscience experiments (3-year minimum commitment). bilh.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/External/job...

A real pleasure and honor interviewing @neurozoe.bsky.social. Check out her story!

Characterizing neuronal population geometry with AI equation discovery The visual cortex contains millions of neurons, whose combined activity forms a population code representing visual stimuli. There is, however, a discrepancy between our understanding of this code at ...

Anecdotally, could feel the emptiness with many blank rows of poster boards at either end of the exhibit hall.

Cortical PV interneurons regulate loudness perception and sustainably reverse loudness hypersensitivity Noise damages the cochlea, triggering maladaptive plasticity in the auditory cortex (ACtx) that makes moderate-intensity sounds seem uncomfortably loud. Clayton, Awwad, McGill, et al. show that brief ...

Excited to announce that our latest paper is now out: www.cell.com/neuron/fullt...

Here we uncover a simple cortical code for loudness and leverage it reverse sound hypersensitivity disorders in mice.
