Our lab had a poster at the #SFN2025 meeting in San Diego, but the #NIH people were not able to attend.
I wanted to call in Haleigh Mulholland, postdoctoral fellow (2nd pic). Haleigh was a major driver behind this project, and I encourage anyone with questions to reach out to her.

Sigh. NIH normally sends several hundred scientists to the SFN annual meeting to learn, exchange info, come up with new ideas, and advance science. (The exchange of ideas is the very core of the scientific enterprise.)
This year, no one from NIH will attend due to the gov't implosion.

The brain is incredibly densely connected. Human cerebral cortex may have as many as *one trillion* connections.
Most of those cortical connections are recurrent, inside each area. What do they do?

But I had to cancel due to the NIH travel ban. 🧪
