Audrey Sederberg joins the Stanley Lab

Audrey has her PhD from Princeton University in theoretical biophysics, where she analyzed the structure of correlated variability in developing visual cortical circuits and constructed models that explored the role of inhibition in these circuits. Since then, She has worked in the MacLean and Palmer labs at the University of Chicago, where she used two-photon … More Audrey Sederberg joins the Stanley Lab

New publication – Information Coding through Adaptive Gating of Synchronized Thalamic Bursting

It has been posited that the regulation of burst/tonic firing in the thalamus could function as a mechanism for controlling not only how much but what kind of information is conveyed to downstream cortical targets. Yet how this gating mechanism is adaptively modulated on fast timescales by ongoing sensory inputs … More New publication – Information Coding through Adaptive Gating of Synchronized Thalamic Bursting
