Neuroscience PhD candidate at Cognitive and Systems Neuroscience lab, University of Amsterdam
Just submitted my first 1st-author paper of my PhD 🎉 It's probably still a long way to publication, but if you are interested in #BinocularRivalry and mouse #VisualCortex, this might be for you! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1....
Continuous Flash Suppression responses in mouse visual cortex: stimulus laterality and anesthesia effects
We investigated whether binocularly conflicting stimuli adapted from primate binocular rivalry studies could induce binocular response suppression in mouse visual cortex. We presented binocularly conf...

Our preprint "Highly Correlated Activity across Higher-Order Thalamic Nuclei in Awake and Anesthetized States" is available on BioRxiv!!! 🥳 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1....

Congrats to 1st author @toonbrouwer.bsky.social and last author Mototaka Suzuki!
Highly Correlated Activity across Higher-Order Thalamic Nuclei in Awake and Anesthetized States
Higher-order (HO) thalamic nuclei are enigmatic. Unlike first-order thalamic regions which are known to primarily relay sensory signals to the neocortex, the functions of HO thalamic nuclei remain far...
