www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... We had a lot of fun working on this project (led by Itzel Ishida, not on bluesky). Some interesting highlights from the paper -

cell.comNeuronal calcium spikes enable vector inversion in the Drosophila brainIn the fly central complex, PFNa neurons switch from firing classical sodium spikes when depolarized to firing non-canonical T-type calcium spikes when hyperpolarized. This bidirectional spiking allow...

It’s an incredible feeling to see something you’ve poured your heart into come to life. This work was born from my curiosity about hippocampal “cognitive tuning.” Our interpretation of the environment depends on our actions, constantly evolving as we pursue our goals www.nature.com/articles/s41...

nature.comHippocampal neuronal activity is aligned with action plans - NatureUsing high-density electrophysiological recordings, how internally generated cell assemblies are updated by action plans to meet external goals is explored.
