A powerful new tool added to the neuroscience toolbox! Congratulations to @Don_B_Arnold, Jackie, and Haoyang on years of hard work. Excited to see this controllable anterograde tracer finally go public—it’s sure to make a big impact on brain circuit mapping and manipulation,
ATLAS, a rationally designed transsynaptic tracer is out today! Plasmids will soon be available on @Addgene addgene https://t.co/HjAKxof6eo Many thanks to first authors Jackie Rivera and Haoyang Huang, and to collaborators, @blsabatini @Kanoski_Lab @vincentw_weng @beherring

Excited to share our latest story! We found disentangled memory representations in the hippocampus that generalized across time and environments, despite the seemingly random drift and remapping of single cells. This code enabled the transfer of prior knowledge to solve new tasks

Excited to share new work from the lab! Chris Gabriel’s exciting collaboration @ScottWilke5, Asai Sanchez-Fuentes and @tgup_research : Transformations in prefrontal ensemble activity underlying rapid threat avoidance learning: Current Biology
cell.com
Gabriel et al. show how neural activity in the prelimbic cortex transforms as mice learn to avoid threats. Rapid shifts in prelimbic population codes reflected learning rates and preceded changes in...

Calangiu et al. show that, during oculomotor behaviors, the strongest choice representations in dlPFC encode action memories rather than action plans. These retrospective representations seem to be...

Nice commentary about our recent paper on how sleep structure organizes memory replay to facilitate consolidation without interference with prior memories 🤩

BIDEN is a TRAITOR: He issued an Executive Order stopping drilling for oil in Gulf of Mexico. That means oil prices will increase and inflation will cause millions of people to suffer. He and Kamala should just leave office and don’t look back. I support Trump more than ever.

It is now illegal to show your ID even in local elections in California. The reason they’re doing this is to make voting fraud unprovable. 🤡🌎
Last year, Gavin Newsom signed a law banning local governments from passing laws requiring ID to vote. The law went into effect this week. California cannot require ID to vote. Democrats do not want secure elections. Wonder why... 🤔

Is it too much to ask for to have a government that focuses on defending the rights of Americans instead of raiding homes to euthanize their animals? Focus on issues like: -Secure Borders -Sensible Spending -Safe Cities -Fair Justice System -Free Speech -Self-Protection VOTE
