My colleague, office mate and friend Thomas Luo (@thomas-zhihao-luo.bsky.social) has just left to start his own lab (theluolab.org). If you are looking to join a lab in neuro. and/or machine learning, you could not hope for a better mentor. Congrats to @utah.edu for the great hire! Please share!

What happens in your brain when you make up your mind?

Postdoc (soon faculty at U. of Utah) @thomas-zhihao-luo.bsky.social and ex-grad student (now Shanahan Fellow at Allen Institute) @timkimd.bsky.social have some answers in this new paper out in Nature!

Always exciting when someone reads one's work! Thank you for the interest and the quotes @ulisespereirao.bsky.social

And a shout out here to Adrian Bondy, @juliecharlton.bsky.social and @thomas-zhihao-luo.bsky.social, the wonderful co-first-authors who led the work.

Adrian is on the job market!
Friday’s AIND JC lead by Shawn Olsen and I on the Brody lab preprint ran 90+ min, unusual. Nice paper, spirited discussion. Make a clear argument that to grasp behavior we need multiregional, multi-neuron, simultaneous single-trial data. Below quotes from the paper.

Brain-wide coordination of decision formation and commitment
Neural correlates of a subject’s upcoming choice in decision making tasks are remarkably widespread throughout the brain, but how these brain-wide signals are coordinated remains unknown. Do brain reg...

I'll be participating in this, giving a talk on methods for using multi-region Neuropixels to observe the brain's hidden conversation during cognition. Great learning opportunity for those new to Neuropixels.
Join the 2025 UCL Neuropixels course (free and online!),
22-24th of October:
Day 1 and 2: Get started with the basics and the latest updates on hardware & software.
Day 3: Focus on how to analyse the many neurons you recorded.

On my way to NYC to participate in this. Should be an exciting day! Looking forward to speaking in a good session on decision making.
COMING UP FAST! On Monday, 9/22, Dr. Peter Rudebeck @rudebecklab.bsky.social & The Lipschultz Center for Cognitive Neuroscience are excited to host this symposium showcasing cutting-edge research being conducted across NYC & surrounding area. Learn More👉 friedmanbrain.icahn.mssm.edu/lipschultz-s...

This is an important paper that will impact the field of systems neuroscience profoundly. I am glad to have contributed to it in a small way. Congrats to @thomas-zhihao-luo.bsky.social and @timkimd.bsky.social
How does the brain decide? 🧠

Our new @nature.com paper shows that neural activity switches from an 'evidence gathering' to a 'commitment' state at a precise moment we call nTc.

After nTc, new evidence is ignored, revealing a neural marker for the instant when the mind is made up.

Transitions in dynamical regime and neural mode during perceptual decisions - Nature
Simultaneous recordings were made of hundreds of neurons in the rat frontal cortex and striatum, showing that decision commitment involves a rapid, coordinated transition in dynamical regime and neura...
