To enable large-scale expts in vivo, we relied on SOTA viral/transgenic strategies from our collaborators to express GCaMP and super-sensitive ChRmine opsin across the cortex. This allowed us to photostim ~1,000+ neurons across a 3.5 mm FOV using a two-photon mesoscope! 6/n
My travel to Cosyne was barred by the Trump admin, so I'm here on my personal dime. I care about the COSYNE community, I committed to co-chairing. And I always learn here.
But the worst part about this travel ban is my lab colleagues— students and fellows—couldn't come. /1
