The Schall Lab

Excited to share our new paper w/ @stevenerrington (co1st author) & @LabSchall, showing laminar organization of #medialfrontalcortex #executivecontrol signals, N2/P3 #EEG complex in #macaques, and layer-specific neuronal activity describing ERP variations. tinyurl.com/4cb967m9

Happy for everyone to see tremendous effort of @AmirsamanSajad and @stevenerrington, bringing functional architecture knowledge of frontal lobe today to where it was for visual cortex in 1970s. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Knowing what an ERP like the N2pc signals requires understanding where it arises. The talented synergy of @beaherrera and @jake_westerberg produced this new publication detailing how the N2pc is produced. doi.org/10.1016/j.neur… #neuroscience #EEG

Thank you @pgmid for the conversation on Decisions and Eye Movements braininspired.co/podcast/140/. The works continues at @vistayorku @CentreforVisio1

@GunnarBlohm Thank you, indeed. But what makes OPNs turn off?

How does evidence accumulation trigger saccades? See the special issue of the Journal of Computational Neuroscience commemorating the career of Lance Optican. Martin Paré and I offer some ideas link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Focused Ultrasound over Frontal Eye Field with great collaborators umbjournal.org/article/S0301-…

@SfNJournals @stevenerrington A new finding bridging research domains and anticipating new insights about how the brain controls actions. Nice work @stevenerrington

New #JNeurosci research from @stevenerrington @LabSchall on β-Bursts & executive control in macaques raises doubts on previous studies suggesting that β-bursts can be a causal mechanism of response inhibition or be useful for brain-machine interfaces. jneurosci.org/lookup/DOI/10.…

@beaherreraf did tremendous work with insight and talent to accomplish this model.

@stevenerrington shows that macaque monkeys, as humans, produce β-bursts over medial frontal cortex when actions are inhibited, but they happen too rarely to contribute to stopping. Looking in the cortex now. jneurosci.org/content/40/48/…

Anyone looking for a tractable comprehensive model of L5 pyramidal cell? Check out this product of our collaboration with very smart and talented colleagues: jneurosci.org/content/40/44/…

Happy to be included in 2nd edition of Evolutionary Neuroscience edited by Jon Kaas. #FrontalEyeField

Congratulations to @KalebLowe18 who ably and successfully defended his dissertation to earn PhD.

One from the archive for #DNADay19: the story behind Photo 51 – Rosalind Franklin’s world-famous x-ray crystallography image of DNA: mrc.io/2Grp4uU @DNAday

For #DNADay, here is a profile of Rosalind Franklin and her x-ray crystallography work that led to the discovery of DNA's double-helix structure buff.ly/2KfOv3S

On this fine #DNADay I’d like to share Watson’s characterization of Dr. Rosalind Franklin (who did not go by Rosy) in his memoir about “discovering” the double helix
