Check out this #protocol from Dr. Yen-Yu Ian Shih's lab Ian Shih CAMRI UNC BRIC UNC UNC Neurology describing three #fiberphotometry approaches to simultaneously measure neuronal and vascular signals in the rodent brain: star-protocols.cell.com/protocols/1753 Research in Cell Reports Methods

Curious about the neural circuit mechanisms underlying the #defaultmodenetwork? A preprint from Tzu-Hao Harry Chao, Li-Ming Hsu at Ian Shih’s lab and Byeongwook Lee at Vinod Menon’s lab @StanfordPSY used #fiberphotometry and #fMRI to shed light on this topic: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

How to track local microscopic neurovascular response and systemic blood flow changes over the entire brain at the same time? Functional Ultrasound Localization Microscopy performs such neuroimaging at micron scale, Physics for Medicine Paris article in Nature Methods nature.com/articles/s4159…

My lab's mouse fMRI know-how is reported as a protocol (doi.org/10.1016/j.xpro…). It will be useful to obtain high-quality EPI and optogenetic fMRI at ultrahigh fields such as15.2T. CNIR-IBS

Out today Nature Communications! Very excited to share another paper with those who are interested in insular and DMN. Here we manipulated anterior insula with optogenetics and monitor downstream activity changes using fMRI. Digest from the lab will follow. nature.com/articles/s4146…

What if circuit/neurochemical context can determine #fMRI response polarity to local neuronal activation? See our preprint on these effects in #striatum using #optogenetics, #electrophysiology, #FSCV, #fiberphotometry, #pharmacology, #microscopy, and #TMS: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

First learned about this project mapping thalamic spindle activities when I visited back in 2016. Glad to see this reaching a beautiful end. nature.com/articles/s4146…

"DMN combines episodic memory, language, and semantic memory processes to generate an ongoing internal narrative and subjective continuity of internal mental thoughts", see new article from our close collaborator Dr. Vinod Menon Stanford Cognitive & Systems Neuroscience Lab: doi.org/10.1016/j.neur…

Don't use ChatGPT for academic research. Instead use Bard, the free alternative from Google. Here is how to use Bard smartly for academic purposes:

Just wrote a new piece on Medium; a very, *very* niche rant about multiband fMRI sequences. May be of interest to one or two of you... medium.com/@m.b.wall/stop…

We are excited to announce that our new 9.4T/20 MRI scanner has been installed, meets all the specs, and will be ready for service SOON!

Collaboration between CAMRI UNC and the Grill lab Duke Biomedical Engineering uncovers how deep brain stimulation (DBS) targets specific brain circuits to alleviate Parkinson’s disease (PD) symptoms in rats. link: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

DMN is known as a task-negative, mind wandering network. In this paper, Stanford Cognitive & Systems Neuroscience Lab and our lab study the activity and connectivity of rodent DMN nodes during spatial exploration, suggesting implications beyond their classical task-negative property: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
