Our lab has been focused on the development and application of advanced optical imaging technologies to advance neuroscience. Over the last years, we have developed a portfolio of optical technologies that allow for large-scale and whole-brain optical recording and manipulation of neuroactivity at high spatiotemporal resolution across model systems with with our most recent imaging technology capable of recording the activity of up to 1 million neurons distributed across different depths of both hemispheres of
the mouse cortex at single cell resolution [1]. Using this data we have found an unbounded scaling of dimensionality with neuron number [2]. While half of the neural variance lies within a low number of behaviorrelated dimensions, we find this unbounded scaling of dimensionality to correspond to an ever-increasing number of internal variables without immediate behavioral correlates. The activity patterns underlying these higher dimensions are fine-grained and cortex-wide distributed, highlighting that large-scale recording is
required to uncover the full neural substrates of internal and potentially cognitive processes.
Which fundamental questions in neuroscience would you be able to uniquely address with such capabilities and how would you use such data to inform computational models about the brain?
We are welcoming applications from creative, highly motivated, and ambitious candidates interested in pursuing projects based on their own ideas or within existing lines of work at the interface of experimental and computational system neuroscience.
