When I joined the Balmer lab in fall 2021, it was a tiny operation where we spent tons of time just putting things together. I'm so proud to see how far the lab has come in such a short time and excited to share our first preprint as a lab!

After years of the number one question being asked at any of my talks being "hoW dO yoU dO tHOsE anIMAtiOns?!??", here is a MATLAB toolbox showing how I do (some of) them! github.com/StuartJO/BrainSur…
It can do many things, like show a parcellation on a developing brain (1/7)

Our paper is out in @npp_journal from first author @ZFarahbakhsh! We tested if widely accepted theories of kappa opioid receptor (KOR) function help us to predict how pharmacologically targeting this receptor affects behavior. Turns out not so much...🧵 rdcu.be/c5PmO

〰️New preprint alert!〰️
Say hello to PhaSER: an open-source tool that you (yes, you!) can use to perform real-time phase-estimation and phase-specific manipulations. Here we show that PhaSER can directly manipulate the phase-locking of SOM+ interneurons in awake, behaving mice!

A common misconception is that the head-fixed setup eliminates movements and allows 'clean' behavioral experiments. Try this: watch a head-fixed animal doing your 'task' for 3 minutes. Here's a little relevant data. frontiersin.org/articles/10.…
