Another important and somewhat unexpected role of noradrenaline. So much to discover still !
#Communiqué 🗞️ Le cerveau doit en permanence réviser ses attentes pour s'adapter aux changements, sans pour autant prendre chaque événement inattendu pour un bouleversement durable. Une étude met en évidence un circuit cérébral impliqué dans cette capacité d'adaptation.

Brainwide blood volume reflects opposing neural populations - Nature
Combined functional ultrasound imaging and Neuropixels recording of mouse brains identify two neuronal populations with opposing arousal-related activity and distinct haemodynamic response functions, that occur throughout the brain.

New paper out 🎉
Awake fUSI is powerful, but motion can strongly bias the data, even in head-fixed experiments.
In this paper, we tried to systematically characterize those artifacts, benchmark denoising strategies, and turn that into practical recommendations for awake fUSI of mouse brains.

New paper alert! 🚨
We found that the brain's compass is remarkably stable at two scales
1️⃣ the system maintains its internal organization for weeks
2️⃣ It "remembers" its orientation for weeks, even after a single visit
This may be key to how the brain aligns its other maps.
