@attila_losonczy thanks for sharing and i would love to come; but it's exactly at the same time as the Gordon Cerebellum. How come? could this be avoided in the future!

Thrilled to receive 2 awards from #Scialog: Molecular Basis of Cognition! Incredible 2 days brainstorming with brilliant scientists and crafting proposals in beautiful Tucson🌵 Huge thanks to @RCSA1 for organizing this inspiring meeting!
RCSA, the Frederick Gardner Cottrell Foundation, and the Walder Foundation have made awards to 14 early career scientists in the final year of the #Scialog: Molecular Basis of Cognition initiative.

Our paper is out: How Reliably Do Neurons Transmit Information? Computational modeling of Allen Cell Types dataset reveals higher spike reliability in PV interneurons vs. excitatory neurons, leading to distinct downstream effects. @SimoneRussoLab

How reliable is spiking in distinct cell types & how does that affect the network? Using @AllenInstitute data we found PV & excitatory neurons have high & low reliability optimizing suppression & rate codes. Shoutout to @SimoneRussoLab & @GStanleyNeuro

What signal do VIP neurons encode during unexpected events? Using @AllenInstitute multiscope data, we found that following omissions the VIP network encodes contextual information that is stimulus non-specific. Thanks to coauthors @LecoqJerome @SimoneRusso

Super excited to announce my first grant as a PI: CZI Collaborative Pairs Award! Together with Giulio Tononi + Chiara Cirelli we will study the how and why of cerebellar sleep!
We’re excited to support 64 interdisciplinary teams that are taking innovative approaches to study fundamental #neuroscience + neurodegenerative diseases. Read more about our second cycle of @ChanZuckerberg’s Neuroscience Collaborative Pairs Pilot Projects
