Super excited to (finally!) show our work on identifying cell types! Now in press www.nature.com/articles/s41.... We show how to identify cell types from ephys recordings *without* optotagging. This opens the study of not just individual cell types, but the interacting neural circuit during behavior

A new machine learning tool distinguishes electrical signatures of individual brain cell types, enabling deeper analysis of how cell interactions contribute to both healthy and disordered brain activity. doi.org/hbx54q

New tool can see how different brain cell types work together

When probes are inserted into the brain for research or clinical purposes, the electrical activity of neurons is recorded.

I am not disagreeing. I am not suggesting we lose behavioral control. It is about increasing the dimensionality of the tasks. we are now able to collect a meaningful dataset in a month in our animals with lots of simultaneous data. So perhaps we can be more ambitious in our task design :)!

By designing decision-making tasks that vary along multiple dimensions and truly challenge our animals, we might finally understand how multiple brain areas coordinate to drive decisions, writes @chandlab.bsky.social. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/decision-mak...

To understand decision-making, we need to truly challenge lab animals

Complex, multidimensional tasks that unfold over time could reveal how different brain areas work together to support decisions.

Great article and I completely agree. If we want to study the interesting thing about the brain ("intelligence") we need to study it doing hard tasks, not easy ones that can be solved with a single neuron or even none. Yes it makes the analysis harder but that's the challenge.

Josh Siegle and I are thrilled to be chairing the first workshop on "Bridging the gap between cell types and spike trains"! We see this as the key link between population-level descriptions of dynamics and real mechanistic understanding from cell types. celltypestospikesworkshop.github.io/2026/
