           Excited to share new work from us: Distinct representations of economic variables across regions and projections of the frontal cortex. Huge congradulations to @AntaraMajumdar, Caitlin Ashcroft and @matfritsche , the joint 1st authors. preprint here:  https://t.co/Re0okuCCTq

             Delighted to share my postdoc project on  https://t.co/0YyVILokb8!  We used multi-Neuropixels during reaching and found preserved population dynamics across regions, sessions and animals that are not only linked to movement, but also the continuous expectation of action outcome.

             Agreed. The focus must be on hypothesis/question, quality of the data & experiment confounds.

             If you are at @SfNtweets, check out my poster tomorrow AM on my PhD work so far with the brilliant @MichaelBLynn_ and @ArminLak. Come see how we combine optogenetics, multi-NP probe insertions and complex behavior to investigate how perceptual signals propagate through the brain.
