If you missed it - this finally got published (with some cool new Supplementary data!)

SignificanceFiber photometry is a powerful tool for neuroscience. However, measured biosensor signals are contaminated by various artifacts (photobleaching and movement-related noise) that undermine...

I'm glad my last interactions with her were good ones. If there's any takeaway from this, its to never forget to tell those you love how much they mean to you.

I too had a complicated relationship with her, even from childhood. I studied psych in part to better understand and maybe help her. I dont think that goal was ever achieved. I wish I'd had more time.

Mum was also a reason I chose to study psychology. She was a larger than life character, but there were problematic sides to her that, amongst other things, would implode her relationships with family, friends, co-workers. She suffered a lot from this, even till the end..

Mum was a self-made business woman, working day & night 6+ days/wk to put me & my bros through high school and undergrad - opportunities she never got herself. $ ran out before we all finished, but she got us far enough along that we could support ourselves and each other.

I don't usually post personal stuff here, but my mum passed away last week and I wanted to share a little about how she's the reason I do what I do.

New pub: We saw greater punishment resistance for cocaine with RI60 schedule vs RR20. With food, similar results in ♀️ but ♂️ resistant with RR20 and RI60. @AdelisCruz_PhD @morg_palz @SophiaN_Handel Special issue on Punishment in NLM edited by @philJRDB https://t.co/CY5f8v5IpA

Fibre photom analysis is still the wild west, but we're thinking IRLS, LP filter, and dFF calculation could serve as sensible shared process across analysis pipelines (until something even better comes along) MATLAB code for getting dFF via IRLS: https://t.co/sDZV10tbNp 5/

In terms of "true signal" extraction (based on simulations): IRLS >OLS low-pass filter > no filter dFF calculation > dF calculation We think this holds true across photometry data and sensible analysis parameters. 4/

We reckon solution to these OLS issues is instead fitting isosbestic to experimental signal using iteratively-reweighted least squares (IRLS) regression. In theory this focuses fitting of isosbestic signal onto the artifactual component of experiment signal (as intended). 2/
