All of NIH funding to Northwestern University is frozen. This pause includes noncompeting approved funding, new and competing grants with fundable scores. No reimbursements for money already spent have been received since March. This situation is rarely reported so please Please get the word out!

Evidence for an active handoff between cerebral hemispheres during target tracking
The brain has somewhat separate cognitive resources for the left and right sides of our visual field. Despite this lateralization, we have a smooth and unified perception of our environment. This rais...

We are very excited to see our collaborative paper on classification of neuron types in the cerebellum (across species!) now published in Cell.

This was a huge project, spanning multiple labs - across continents - and a huge team effort!

A deep learning strategy to identify cell types across species from high-density extracellular recordings
We constructed a deep learning classifier that solves the problem of neuron-type identification
from simultaneous extracellular recordings of many neurons. The classifier was trained
on a ground-truth...

The thalamus encodes and updates context representations during hierarchical cognitive control
The cortico-striatal-thalamic circuit is involved in updating cortical task representations, but the role of the thalamus in the context of cognitive flexibility is not well known. This study shows th...

🌟 Cai Lab Nature (@natureportfolio.bsky.social) paper alert! In work led by Joe Zaki, we find that rest periods after learning not only stabilize new memories BUT ALSO integrate new memories with older ones from days past! (1/10)
