New preprint from the lab! 🚀
We find that hippocampal OLM interneurons provide a circuit-level inhibitory feedback signal that dynamically controls when and where behavioral timescale synaptic plasticity can occur.
Feedback welcome!

Very much agree!👇
Reflections from two decades of diverse careers in science and beyond:
1. Travel
2. Be flexible
3. Critical and analytical thinking never goes out of fashion
4. Understanding biology means understanding evolution
5. Great environments create lasting relationships
