My new lab will investigate thalamic circuits for vision and how the brain actively modifies its visual perception. I will be looking for motivated and talented postdocs, PhD and master/bachelor students - please get in touch if you would like to join my journey.

Fast-Spike Interneurons in Visual Cortical Layer 5: Heterogeneous Response Properties Are Related to Thalamocortical Connectivity

Layer 4 (L4) of rabbit V1 contains fast-spike GABAergic interneurons (suspected inhibitory interneurons, SINs) that receive potent synaptic input from the LGN and generate fast, local feedforward inhi...

Retinal direction of motion is reliably transmitted to visual cortex through highly selective thalamocortical connections

In awake rabbits, Su and Mendez-Platt et al. find that LGN directionally selective (LGN-DS) neurons selectively target layer 4 (L4) V1 simple cells with a similar directional preference, indicating that some of the directional selectivity of L4 V1 neurons is inherited from LGN-DS neurons.
