▶️ In our new @plosbiology.org study with James Poulet, we show somatosensory contributions to M1 Vm in a forelimb reaching task.
▶️ Surgical removal of somatosensation impacted movement encoding, Vm regulation and its transition to active state, and more!

1/ 97% of cortical PNNs are on PV interneurons. But PNN-positive and PNN-negative PV cells don't split into two groups — they sit at different ends of a transcriptional continuum of fast-spiking specialization. New preprint 🧵

Two-author papers are always special.
Using optogenetic stimulation of hippocampal synapses in awake mice and tracking them over approx. 2 weeks, we link synaptic strength, spine volume and their stability. It's confirmed: bigger spines are stronger and more stable 😅
