New preprint from the Portera-Cailliau lab! Led by the spectacular Michelle W. Wu. During development, cortical activity becomes higher dimensional. PV interneurons (but not SST) drive this shift, and a new circuit model predicts it. Coupled with RNAseq. So happy to have contributed to this work!

Parvalbumin interneuron maturation reorganizes cortical population activity structure during development

During brain development, spontaneous cortical activity undergoes a dramatic transformation from highly synchronous network events to less correlated and sparse neuronal firing that is thought to unde...

PREPRINT 🚨 You know that feeling when you're jamming out to your favorite song (say, La Macarena 💃) and suddenly it skips, or a completely random remix drops out of nowhere? That everyday surprise tells us something profound about how our brain works! 1/24
