Bottom line: We may have been measuring the wrong things about sleep. Total hours, REM percentage, deep sleep duration - none predicted brain cleaning as well as norepinephrine pulse frequency did. https://t.co/T5uroaIDIh

Norepinephrine oscillations during NREM sleep drive synchronized changes in cerebral blood volume and cerebrospinal fluid, promoting glymphatic clearance. Optogenetic and pharmacological manipulati...
New Cell paper from the team that discovered glymphatic clearance (how your brain removes waste during sleep). Sleep hours DIDN'T predict brain cleaning. Neither did REM or deep sleep. They found what actually matters - and why some sleeping pills might undermine it 🧵

Neuroscientists record two main data modalities: electromagnetic waves and Spiking activities. A longstanding debate in neuroscience is whether the brain waves are essential for understanding how the brain works, or are they merely epiphenomenal. In more scientific terms, do the
Finally a causal formulation of spike-wave duality. Over the past couple of years I have been constantly asked about causality of brain waves. After two years of spontaneously thinking about this, I dared to put this "baby" out. Shout out to my talented collaborator

Fascinating work! Big kudos Mark and team!🥂
Thrilled to share Milan's & Nimrod's great work exploring the evolution of visual processing🐢📷. Combining neurophysiology with gaze estimation in freely viewing turtles, they identified view-invariant representations in dorsal cortex. https://t.co/1WgUsegFPz

It is debated whether poor #blood flow underlies white matter loss in #aging. Our recent study in aged mice supports this idea: Impaired drainage through rare, deep-reaching #venules causes mild #hypoperfusion that triggers inflammation and demyelination. https://t.co/nDVjgZjnWa

Super excited to share our preprint on cortex-wide dynamics of different layers across leearning, by @yaelesther with collab. Robert Sachdev and @mattlark! Take home message: learning is NOT about the cortical column, it's extra-columnar! Please repost! https://t.co/t0HMWUZg27

Learning to link sensory information to motor actions involves dynamic coordination across cortical layers and regions. However, the involvement of a particular layer in learning, especially from a...

Fantastic work (as always) from Che-Hang Yu and colleagues in Spencer Smith's lab @Labrigger. Neat method to increase scan speed and/or FOV in 2p microscopy. Commercially available from @pacificoptica . I'd love to build this for a client at some point! https://t.co/caj5Pv3ZIA

🚨New from Urban Lab @OpenfUS in @ImagingNeurosci We combined fUS & Neuropixels in awake mice to test how well fUS reflects neuronal spiking. We targeted 3 visual regions during stimulus-evoked activity. How reliable is fUS vs spikes? https://t.co/WIAUAGOIII

Abstract. Over the last decade, functional ultrasound (fUS) has risen as a critical tool in functional neuroimaging, leveraging hemodynamic changes to infer neural activity indirectly. Recent studies...
Latest paper from the Urban lab shows functional ultrasound (fUS) imaging reliably tracks neuronal activity with good spatial precision! 🎯 Congrats to the team! @OpenfUS 👏 https://t.co/GPZdrRNj4E
