Very excited to share the work that kept me busy for the greater part of the last 8 years (!), now published in Neuron.
Analyzing almost 8,000 neurons from orbitofrontal, ventrolateral frontal cortex and amygdala in monkeys, we found specific markers of dissociable valuation systems, which is questioning the current OFC-centric view of how subjective valuation might be computed.
I guess we do #introduction posts over here? I work on the #neuroscience (am I doing those hashtags right!?) of learning and memory, specifically how we learn while we navigate space and context. To do this, I take in vivo recordings (currently calcium imaging but ephys has my heart) of freely moving rats! After that, I use computational and mathematical approaches to analyze their neural activity! I am currently a BRAIN Initiative K99/R00 postdoc at Northwestern working with John Disterhoft and Sara Solla. I was trained at MIT with Matt Wilson, where I got my PhD in biology, and my BS is from Carnegie Mellon. Welcome!
