Super excited to share the first cooperative foraging paradigm in freely interacting mouse pairs! Stable leader and follower roles emerge spontaneously and predict learning. Well-trained mice show stereotyped, role-specific “behavioral motifs” absent in naive animals (1/5)

New brain aging study is out today in Nature
The largest single-cell RNA seq dataset of mouse brain aging reveals incredible insights and could pave the way for future therapies to slow or manage the impacts of the aging process. 🧵 #studyBRAIN

One year ago, on the day of my first conference presentation, things have changed a lot since then.

What is the neural code and statistical structure of neural states characterizing stress?
Our new work in Nature answers these questions and more. Thanks to my amazing co-first @fxia.bsky.social @stefanofusi.bsky.social @mazenkheirbek.bsky.social for precious guidance

The geometry of adaptation! My first excursion in the V1 territory. Great collaboration with @mariodipoppa.bsky.social @matteocarandini.bsky.social and many others
New results! Visual adaptation changes the geometry of V1 population activity: frequent stimuli elicit smaller responses but become more discriminable. Similar results are seen in ANNs trained with metabolic constraints, suggesting these changes emerge from efficient coding. bit.ly/3VJHXRn
Adaptation shapes the representational geometry in mouse V1 to efficiently encode the environment
Sensory adaptation dynamically changes neural responses as a function of previous stimuli, profoundly impacting perception. The response changes induced by adaptation have been characterized in detail...
