#SfNHillDay is off to a great start!
SfN Members and #NeuroAdvocates spent the day meeting with members of Congress and their staff, advocating for protecting NIH-funded research and scientists' ability to conduct their vital work, increased funding in FY 2027.

Excited to share several updates on our previous preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
We show rapid prey capture learning requires V1, enhances V1b responses across learning, and induces persistent plasticity in firing rates + spines, via homeostatic, rather than Hebbian, processes. Read more:

Rapid prey capture learning slowly re-sets activity set points in rodent binocular visual cortex
Neurons within primary visual cortex (V1) possess stable firing rate set points to which they faithfully return when perturbed by passive sensory manipulations. Chronic recordings in vivo suggest that...

Thrilled to share work from my PhD is now online as a preprint! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
We show prey capture learning requires V1, enhances V1b tuning to behavior, and induces persistent plasticity in firing rates and spines, gated by homeostatic, rather than Hebbian processes. Read more:

Rapid prey capture learning drives a slow resetting of network activity in rodent binocular visual cortex
Neocortical neurons possess stable firing rate set points to which they faithfully return when perturbed. These set points are established early and are stable through adulthood, suggesting they are i...
