Our paper describing UnitMatch software "tracking neurons across days with high-density probes", appeared in this month's issue of #NatureMethods. Missed it? Read it here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Good morning #SfN. Want to chat about chronic Neuropixels or tracking? Find me today at the #Neuropixels booth (3731) from 11 to 12! And if you're still around tomorrow afternoon, come talk about distributed coding in navigation at my poster tomorrow afternoon (RR16).

Glad to see my PhD work out! Thanks to all my collaborators and to Kenneth and Matteo for making this possible!
A new study led by @timothysit.bsky.social reveals that different layers of mouse V1 integrate visual and non-visual signals differently.
Activity is dominated by vision (or spontaneous fluctuations) in L2/3 and by movement in L5. This leads to different geometries.

Many of us use 2p scopes to image 3D volumes of brain. But then we analyze the data plane by plane, resulting in duplicated neurons, missed neurons, and low s/n. Let's go 3D!

I think the best part of working in an international environment are the yearly discussions on Pancake day. "Who invented the pancake?" And "should it be waffle day instead, like in part of the Netherlands" cause some serious debates!

Can the mouse visual cortex harbor a functional organization for stimulus features? TLDR: Yes, we found ocular dominance columns in this tiny cortical region! Check our paper, open access in @naturecomms.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41... and/or read the 🧵 below. @mpiforbi.bsky.social (1/7)
