Please share: I am recruiting a PhD student to join my lab in Oslo!

For this project, we will investigate the role of striatal interneurons during action selection, using a combination of behavior, in vivo voltage imaging, and slice ephys.

A prefrontal cortex map based on single-neuron activity - Nature Neuroscience The authors mapped spontaneous and choice activity across mouse prefrontal cortex. The activity maps aligned with intrinsic connectivity rather than anatomical subregions, suggesting that connectivity, not cytoarchitecture, organizes prefrontal function.

inspiring to have witnessed the evolution from idea to publication, congratulations all authors!

New brain maps challenge traditional descriptions of the brain For more than a century, maps of the brain have been based on how brain tissue looks under the microscope. These anatomical maps divide the brain into regions according to structural variations in the...

Activity-based maps of the prefrontal cortex in mice, presented in @natneuro.nature.com today, challenge classical descriptions of the brain. The new maps reveal functional territories that differ from traditional, tissue-based maps. #Neuroscience #Brain 🧪 news.ki.se/new-brain-ma...

We were thrilled to (mostly) meet in-person last week for the 3rd Annual Symposium of ASAP Collaboration for Team Cragg!

Thank you all for an inspiring meeting of science, sharing and #collaboration. We have built a great momentum, and we are ready for new discoveries in #Parkinsons research!
