Postdoctoral fellow in neuroscience 🧠 at Oslo University. Studying REM sleep in rats 🐀
The main project from my PhD, in collaboration with Manuela Allegra and @schlab.bsky.social is now available as a preprint! We wondered how the hippocampus and the visual cortex may differ in the way they refine sensory inputs into internal representations
Task engagement differentially drives hippocampal and neocortical neural codes
Sensory inputs are progressively transformed into internal representations of the environment along the cortical hierarchy. How does the behavioral relevance of these inputs affect this encoding? Usin...

The scenes in the Oval Office today will shame the US for decades. They’ll never be forgotten.

A world leader, fighting for his country against the 21st century’s Nazis, came to the US and was attacked & abused by a gangster regime siding with the fascist invaders.

A historic disgrace.

I completely forgot to mention it here, but I actually defended my PhD last fall! And I recently started as a postdoctoral fellow in Oslo, in @charlotteboccara.bsky.social group. Back to the Scandinavian weather ☃️.

Our new study is out on BioRXiv!

We (@carlenlab.bsky.social lab) mapped the mouse PFC using single-unit activity! We recorded ~23,000 neurons across cortical/subcortical regions and profiled spont. firing patterns to reveal what separates the PFC from other brain regions.

A Prefrontal Cortex Map based on Single Neuron Activity
The intrinsic organization underlying the central cognitive role of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) is poorly understood. The work to date has been dominated by cytoarchitecture as a canvas for studies on...

After a few days on Bluesky, I'm not sure what I miss most about Twitter. Weird Ai-generated ads? Sex bots offering nudes? The app not working while my phone is charging? The imbecile owner being praised as a genius? Anyway, hello everyone! I'll try to be slightly more active here, hopefully.
