To understand the brain, we must first understand its parts — the cells. Our scientists together with dozens of #BICCN-supported teams just announced a large step forward toward cataloging cell types in the brain with the most detailed map of the motor cortex ever. #studyBRAIN

What are the cells that make up our brains?

A huge collaborative effort fueled the most detailed map to date of the brain region that controls movement

Great summary of the work!

Replying to @meg_kirch
Huge thanks to everyone who supported this work - especially @ecallaway and tech Lexi (now a tech in Hofer lab, so real rodent pulvinar expert and will be applying to grad schools next cycle, so 👀). Hope you all enjoy!!! 9/9

Congratulations Megan on the beautiful work!!
Megan Kirchgessner, PhD@meg_kirch5 Oct 2021
So excited to share that my final PhD work is finally out in @CurrentBiology ! Thanks as always to tech @lexifranklin39 and my PhD advisor @ecallaway - now grad school is OFFICIALLY over 😅 cell.com/current-biology/ful…

Distinct “driving” versus “modulatory” influences of different visual corticothalamic pathways

Kirchgessner et al. find that inactivating corticothalamic (CT) neurons in layer 5, but not layer 6, of the mouse visual cortex suppresses visual responses in the pulvinar, indicating a “driving”...

Excited to share the culminating work of my PhD w/ @ecallaway - we find in vivo evidence of L5 & L6 corticothalamic projections from V1 serving distinct “driving” vs “modulators” functions in the rodent pulvinar (plus intriguing interactions with SC inputs!) - #tweeprint 👇 1/9 – at San Diego, CA

Functional Organization for Color Appearance Mechanisms in Primary Visual Cortex biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… Our latest color vision work! We find ON and OFF cone-opponent functional domains (COFDs) in V1 that interact as predicted by psychophysical studies of color appearance.

Functional Organization for Color Appearance Mechanisms in Primary Visual Cortex

Studies of color perception have led to mechanistic models of how signals from cone-opponent retinal ganglion cells are integrated to generate color appearance. But it is not known where or how these...

I’m delighted to announce the winner of the scholarship, @ghezae_isaias from UCSB. His early experience with injustice has taken him on a thrilling intellectual path. Read his inspiring story & share in his joy of discovery, borne of pain @BlackInNeuro dropbox.com/s/up01duhl3xjddx…

Congratulations Megan. Very proud of you!!
Megan Kirchgessner, PhD@meg_kirch29 May 2020
Happy to share my 1st official pub from my PhD with @ecallaway! We study how layer 6 corticothalamic projections from V1 influence dLGN and pulvinar in mouse visual thalamus and find that this influence is highly flexible and dynamic! Short thread👇(1/n) doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2002080…

Awesome job from Euiseok and our great Ecker lab collaborators @zhuzhuz @JoeEcker!!!
Euiseok Kim@kim_euiseok12 May 2020
I am thrilled to introduce this paper about neuronal cell types and their long-distance connectivity in @NeuroCellPress, in the Callaway lab @ecallaway. Wonderful collaborations with Ecker lab @zhuzhuz @JoeEcker and others @analog_ashley. cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S08…

Excited to share my first graduate work with @ecallaway (& our lab's first preprint!) on corticothalamic pathways from V1 L6 to LGN, pulvinar/LP and TRN: how L6 affects its thalamic targets in vivo is dynamic & changes a LOT depending on how it's engaged! – at San Diego, CA

Latest work with @kim_euiseok & @ecallaway, in which we describe the organization of inputs from LP to visual cortex in the mouse. TL;DR: LP is topographically organized! And LDVL also projects to visual cortex. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
