Adaptive communication between cell assemblies and “reader” neurons shapes flexible brain dynamics
Cell assemblies have been proposed as key units of brain activity, underlying diverse functions, but their basic features are not well understood. This study shows that interactions between cell assem...

Cell assemblies are drawing increasing attention in neuroscience, but one could argue that they are just an epiphenomenon. Is the activity of cell assemblies relevant for the brain?
The short answer is yes. The long answer is in our paper, now online at PLOS Biology. 🧵👇 1/10

Intra-and Interhemispheric Signatures of Criticality at the Onset of Synchronization
The cerebral cortex must flexibly alternate between locally segregated activity that supports specialization and long-range interactions that enable integration. How cortical networks balance these co...

New preprint out!
How does criticality propagate from local neuronal circuits to whole-brain dynamics?
We tackle this with a multiscale, connectome-based mouse model @ldallap.bsky.social . 🧵/n

🧠📢 New preprint alert
Large-scale ephys is exploding but spike sorting remains the computational bottleneck. A 2-hr, 6-probe Neuropixels 2.0 Quad Base session can take over a week to sort on a single machine. Here's a better solution. 🧵

Let’s use a good occasion to break my Bluesky shyness 😅 — a new article just came out!
This one goes back to data from the very start of my PhD, and I’m so happy to see it finally published 🧠
