This is a cool paper from @theiStone (and myself) in the awesome labs of Jonathan Pillow and @IlanaWitten - excited to see it "in print"! nature.com/articles/s4159…

Congrats to Scott Bolkan and @theiStone on the new paper! In a nutshell: we used a hidden Markov model (GLM-HMM) to identify states from sensory-decision making behavior, while intermittently inactivating the striatum. (1/6)


Finally happy to unveil my postdoctoral paper on its final form, done under the guidance of Kay M Tye PhD and in colab with Kanha Batra Cewu Lu A few highlights: -A new dominance assay for mice -A new tool, AlphaTracker, to track multiple animals 1/n


A wonderful collaboration with the Christoph Kellendonk and the twitterless Sarah Canetta!

I’m looking for a research tech to help study the role of the basal ganglia in foraging decisions Northwestern Neuroscience. This is a great opportunity to get experience before grad school and help lead a new project!



We are looking for a Post Doc to join our lab at Columbia University to study thalamo-cortical/striatal circuitry in the context of schizophrenia: kellendonklab.org Experience in vivo physiology/imaging preferred. Please e-mail: [email protected]. Please retweet.
