Optogenetics to understand how the visual brain operates
Fribourg, Switzerland
Joined October 2012
🚀 Exciting news! A 3D-printed chinrest for eye-tracking in macaques. This non-invasive tool enhances task engagement and precision. 🌟 Science and animal welfare can go hand-in-hand! #Neuroscience #AnimalWelfare #ResearchInnovation. Read more: PubMed Article

Comprehensive view on multiple concurrent feedforward and feedback streams in a cortical hierarchy
biorxiv.org
Visual stimuli evoke fast-evolving activity patterns that are distributed across multiple cortical areas. These areas are hierarchically structured, as indicated by their anatomical projections, but...

Important step for vision restoration: Shape perception via a high-channel-count neuroprosthesis in monkey visual cortex
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Blindness affects 40 million people across the world. A neuroprosthesis could one day restore functional vision in the blind. We implanted a 1024-channel prosthesis in areas V1 and V4 of the visual...

Rats can be made to "want what hurts" when amygdala activation is paired with with a painful stimulus. This suggests that it might not be necessary to "like" or enjoy things that we compulsively "want".

Nature Communications - Brain disorders can create maladaptive attractions, such as in addiction or self-harming. Here the authors use multiple valence modes of the central amygdala to create such...

Optogenetically induced low-frequency correlations impair perception
elifesciences.org
Low-frequency correlations among neurons in monkey visual area V4 impair the animal's ability to perform an attention-demanding task, suggesting a causal role of these fluctuations in perception.
