Delighted to announce our latest paper. We discovered single-cell correlate of theta-gamma PAC. Hippocampal PAC cells participate in control of WM through information-enhancing noise correlations and long-range frontal interactions. @Nature @CedarsSinai

Spectacular work by @Kramayp , using a #BMI , a cool experimental design, and some nice computational techniques to show humans can learn to control the firing rate of one out of their 80 billion or so neurons 🤯 @KBI_UHN @C_R_A_N_I_A @uoftengineering @uoftmdphd

Excited to share our paper in @Brain1878 where we show that humans can learn to control individual neurons in various memory structures of their brains! Exciting implications for #learning , #memory and #neuromodulation ! @OUPAcademic @KBI_UHN @C_R_A_N_I_A
