Most neurons in the cortex remain silent, even during sensory stimulation and behavior. What are these silent neurons good for? This is known as the “dark matter problem” of the brain. We address this problem in our Neuron study led by Oli Gauld doi.org/10.1016/j.neur…

Cerebrospinal fluid links the brain and peripheral sensory system and drives headache in migraine with aura! We’re excited to share our newest article just published today in Science Magazine . Please read along: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Postdoctoral position in neuroimaging of pain.

Our new study is out today in the New England Journal of Medicine! We demonstrate a speech neuroprosthesis that decodes the attempted speech of a man with ALS into text with 97.5% accuracy, enabling him to communicate with his family, friends, and colleagues in his own home. 1/9

Online now! Cervical lymphatics drain CSF and clear metabolic waste from the brain. Du et al., show using 2P-OPTIC that these are disrupted in aging due to reduced pumping. Restoring cervical lymphatic function with PGF2a rescues brain clearance. doi.org/10.1038/s43587…

I'm delighted to announce the lab's first paper is finally out! Huge congrats to Eric and the team. rdcu.be/dRT7z
