The first chapter of my PhD is finally out on @commsbio.nature.com
We show that the transmembrane domain of SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein is not just a passive anchor to the virion surface, but a key player in the viral entry process.

Macaque IT neurons may shift from low to high spatial frequencies over time, supporting a coarse-to-fine view of vision. Evidence is incomplete, but the study offers clues to how spatial frequency links to category signals in object recognition.

A remarkable paper. Davisson and colleagues describe an in vitro reaction running under plausible prebiotic conditions that efficiently and stereoselectively aminoacylates a model tRNA.
This suggests a path through which nature may have chosen L vs. D amino acids!

Excited to share my PhD paper! In it, we use targeted 2-photon optogenetic stimulation to determine how V1 activity is read-out in a detection task. We found that network influence, not visual coding properties, predicted the impact of ensembles on behavior - contradicting our expectations (1/5).

Thanks to @thetransmitter.bsky.social and @ldattaro.bsky.social for this coverage of our recent paper!
Some neurons respond more strongly to visual stimuli than others. But the rest of the brain doesn’t prioritize signals from those neurons, according to a new study. Read more in this month’s Null and Noteworthy.

Null and Noteworthy: Downstream brain areas read visual cortex signals en masse in mice
The finding contradicts a theory that the regions prioritize neurons that are adept at identifying specific stimuli. Plus, a response to a study that questioned immune memory in astrocytes.
