Very cool work! It’s super exciting to see these bifurcation dynamics in higher order regions. Seems parsimonious with work from the Katz lab on attractor state transitions in primary taste cortex!

Impact of precisely-timed inhibition of gustatory cortex on taste behavior depends on single-trial ensemble dynamics
Primary taste cortex does far more than code tastes by turning taste codes into motor commands via population dynamics.

Very cool work! I’ve been on the edge of my seat for the final version since reading the pre-print!

I got an NoA for NINDS F31 about a month ago. Unsurprisingly, Brown has yet to receive any money though

People have speculated about whether bloodflow modulates neural activity before! See: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17913979/. Also attaching some great experimental work by Filosa and colleges showing this does seem to happen: www.jneurosci.org/content/36/5...
