So excited to share my postdoctoral work!! How do hormones that fluctuate over hours to days reshape neural computations that guide moment-to-moment decisions? In this study, we investigated how estrogen alters cortical dynamics during social choice in female mice: doi.org/10.64898/202...
Many complex behaviors have stubbornly resisted mechanistic explanations. Deciphering them will require new approaches—and perhaps a new concept of “understanding,” writes @olveczky.bsky.social. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/methods/what...

I remember when we used to think that all neurons were specialized. Mixed selectivity: when neurons stopped looking like specialists www.nature.com/articles/s41... #neuroscience
Mixed selectivity: when neurons stopped looking like specialists - Nature Reviews Neuroscience
In this Journal Club, Fanny Cazettes highlights a 2013 paper that demonstrated the importance of mixed selectivity for cortical computations.
