Any volunteers to present this paper? I think it'd be a nice one to discuss in the lab!

Dear all,

The next lab journal club will be 1-2 pm this Friday, 20th November.

Xoana will be presenting a Neuron paper by Hirsted, Bonin and Reid where they use 2-photon microscopy to measure the extent of electrical microstimulation:

"For over a century, electrical microstimulation has been the most direct method for causally linking brain function with behavior. Despite this long history, it is still unclear how the activity of neural populations is affected by stimulation. For example, there is still no consensus ... read more
