The Kanold lab is moving to Johns Hopkins University later this spring. We will be in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. Visit us in the beautiful Miller Research Building, just down the hall from the Daily Grind coffee shop.

The developmental story of L2/3 circuits: through hyperconnectivity to sparsity
Big team effort lead by Ying to track the functional development of L2/3 circuits and in vivo activity in A1. Turns out there is substantial transient functional hyperconnectivity esp. from subgranular layers paired with increased pairwise correlations during the critical period. Maybe these connections play a role in plasticity during the critical period? Read the whole story here in Cerebral Cortex.
The Mouse school!
Nik and Kayla developed a mouse school enabling high throughput behavioral testing! Read the paper from the lab introducing the ToneBox and our first observations using automated behavioral experiments. Build your own! Read it here in eNeuro
Avalanches in A1!
Our collaboration with the Plenz lab at NIH is out in Frontiers. Zac and Dan reveal neuronal avalanches in A1 as part of our BRAIN project. Read it here.
Ji’s paper on parallel processing of sound onset/offset in auditory cortex in Cell Reports
Ji’s multilevel study on how auditory cortex processes sound onset and onset in parallel networks in out in Cell Reports. Fun local collaboration with Butts and Babadi lab at UMD.
Review on subplate neurons and silent connections is out.
Could silent connections in development actually do something and not be “just” precursors to AMPA connections? Our review of what silent cortical plate connections on subplate neurons could be doing in development is out. Read it here.
Aminah’s paper on cover of Cerebral Cortex
Collaborative paper with Babadi lab on extracting neuronal functional connectivity by adaptive Granger causality analysis
Use this method by the Babadi lab for extracting functional network dynamics by adaptive Granger causality analysis from calcium imaging or ephys data. Read it here in PNAS.
Nik’s paper showing A1 encoding of decision making published in Neuron
Our first venture into studying A1 during behavior shows that A1 activity encodes sensory information as well as decision making.
Read “Small networks Encode Decision-Making in Auditory Cortex” in Neuron. Great collaboration with Behtash Babadi.
