Out now! New preprint on the effects of repetition on performance in sequence production
biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Work with Danny Kwon and @DiedrichsenJorn, @diedrichsenlab.

#tweeprint in thread below 👇
@DiedrichsenJorn @diedrichsenlab 1/5. When trying to master a motor skill, we tend to practice repeating the same movements over and over. Indeed repetition benefits have been shown for single, point-to-point reaching movements.
@DiedrichsenJorn @diedrichsenlab 2/5. Here we used a discrete sequence production (DSP) task to ask whether this also applies to movement sequences, and which processes (planning vs. execution) mediate such effects.
@DiedrichsenJorn @diedrichsenlab 3/5. We found repetition benefits for entire sequences that cannot be explained by repetition effects on individual sequence elements.
@DiedrichsenJorn @diedrichsenlab 4/5. Further, improved performance appeared to stem from an enhanced ability to combine sequence elements into skilled behavior via online planning – planning future elements while executing current elements.
@DiedrichsenJorn @diedrichsenlab 5/5. Finally, we present some evidence that actual practice with sequential movements may be more effective than mental rehearsal for reaping the benefits of repetition.

1/n Fresh on #bioRxiv: a simple and ultra-low-cost #openhardware approach to upgrade an out-of-the-box two-photon system to reach a 3.5(xy) x 0.6 (z) mm field of view for mesoscale 3D random access scans. /w @FilipKJaniak et al. bit.ly/2BRTrJq
2/n Our ‘diverging beam optics’ (DBO) approach exploits the fact that in 2P microscopy there is no traditional collection plane. This means the images does not get blurry if the incoming laser beam is not parallel as it would in 1P microscopy.
3/n using DBO, we can flexibly set our field of view and excitation volume to match the structural properties of different biological samples. This is critical, as different species have vastly different size and density neural processes...

1/ #tweeprint time! If you are interested in #interneurons, #hippocampus and developmental mechanisms of neural circuit function, check out our new preprint “Hippocampal hub neurons maintain unique functional properties throughout their lifetime” biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
2/ Ten years ago, the Cossart lab discovered that rare GABAergic neurons are able to orchestrate single-handedly network dynamics in the CA3 region of the hippocampus . As these cells showed a remarkably high functional connectivity, they were termed ‘hub cells’.
3/ A few years later, @PicardoMichel and others in the lab (in collaboration with @GordFishell lab) found that many hub cells were GABA cells born early in embryogenesis (thus termed ‘early-born GABA cells’ or ‘ebGABAs’).

#tweeprint time: rapid feedback adaptation to force field of different direction and different kinds in 250ms (thread): biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Simplistic view in reach control and adaptation is that the compensation for external loads is supported by impedance control within a trial, and trial by trial adaptation. This paper continues a series where we show that the story is likely more complex...
First unpredictable loads induce changes in co-contraction which correlated with changes in feedback gains, we suggested that instead of making the limb stiff, co-contractions makes the neural controller more robust: doi.org/10.1523/JNEURO…

1/ #tweeprint time everybody! It's about neural coding (and I mean that literally). We asked the following Q: if info is encoded in the neocortex with both rate and synchrony of spikes, do different subtypes of neurons display differential sensitivity to these two info streams?
2/ In the example image above, a binary signal is encoded with either a rate or synchrony code. The rate code uses high rate = 1, low rate = 0. In contrast, in the synchrony code the cells have a constant rate-of-fire, but high synch = 1, low synch = 0.
3/ We hypothesized that PV+ and SST+ interneurons would be differentially sensitive to these two codes, due to their intrinsic and synaptic properties. For example, the short-term depressing synapses of PV+ cells may make them more sensitive to synchrony.

#tweeprint time!
How do we generate the right muscle commands to grasp objects? We present a neural network model that replicates the vision to action pipeline for grasping objects and shows internal activity very similar to the monkey brain.

biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Monkeys grasped and lifted many objects while we recorded neural activity in the grasping circuit (AIP, F5, & M1 - see original paper elifesciences.org/articles/15278). All of these areas have been shown to be necessary for properly pre-shaping the hand during grasping.
We show that the advanced layers of a convolutional neural network trained to identify objects (Alexnet) has features very similar to those in AIP, and may therefore be reasonable inputs to the grasping circuit, while muscle velocity was most congruent with activity in M1.
