‼️How do mice distinguish self-generated vs. object-generated looming stimuli? Our new study combines VR and neural recordings from the superior colliculus (SC) 🧠🐭 to explore this question. Check out our preprint doi.org/10.1101/2024.12.06.6… Fun, collaborative effort with.... 🧵

We convert our setup monitors to synchronize them to the microscopes (2p and WF) they are used with (to reduce contamination light). Peter Buchmann at @FMIscience has made a PCB boards that can be used to convert Dell U2722D monitors.

Back to the lab for a short stint after 4 weeks in bed! Still a long way to go but feeling a lot better. If you haven't heard from me in a while... I've been busy recouping from a torn Achilles.
