~30 years of research in non-behaving animals argue that bilateral touch integration likely occurs downstream of primary somatosensory cortex. We reveal the state- and task-dependent logic that unlocks communication between S1s through the corpus callosum.

👂🦇 Our first bat paper is out! 🦇👂 How do bats tell navigation from social calls? Led by fearless Dr. Jenni Lawlor, 2P imaging shows that the auditory midbrain encodes categorical primitives. @NatureNeuro: https://t.co/DP3cLkhMpe Cool morphing expts+more in final version 🧵👇
In an exciting new direction for the lab, we ( https://t.co/zeb6oen1oH) teamed up with Cindy Moss ( https://t.co/VaTGafBlNb) and Mel Wohlgemuth ( https://t.co/5F8parEN06) to bring two-photon imaging to the echolocating bat! Excited to share our preprint about this work (1/13)
