Pleased to share our new study showing how different cell types in the paratenial thalamus interact with the medial prefrontal cortex and other brain regions, all done by my graduate student Nigel Dao:

Excited to share our recent review, which highlights algorithmic and implementational degeneracy in studies of cognition: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Excited to share our new J Neurosci paper showing how subcortical inputs are routed through ventromedial (VM) thalamus to layer 1 interneurons in the medial PFC, all done by my graduate student Sanne Casello:

Thrilled to share our new paper, which shows that the relative timing of cholinergic and dopamine release dynamically gates whether dopamine acts as an RPE for in vivo plasticity and reinforcement learning. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Spread the word! We are recruiting for 6 new research professors at UC Davis' California National Primate Research Center. Open rank, open area, but must leverage 🐒 resources.

Grateful to receive a ✨K99/R00✨ after much uncertainty! Still worried about scientific funding and the future of our work. Excited to reveal how estrogen modulates neuromodulator and neural dynamics, de novo protein synthesis, and temporal discounting with a novel task the rats are already crushing.
Can electrical microstimulation be used to steer cortical population activity on- and off-manifold? Our new preprint says yes — using data-driven control in macaque PFC. Joint work with @gbarzon.bsky.social, Anandita De, Isaac Moran, Conner Carnahan, and Luca Mazzucato.
Delighted to share our discoveries about one of the brain's neurotransmitter systems:

Together with colleagues at the @alleninstitute.org, we have learned a lot about a tiny cluster of neurons in the brainstem locus coeruleus (LC) that releases norepinephrine (NE). 1
