First anniversary and data from the lab
On the first anniversary of the lab, we obtained our first whole cell recording in vivo, in V1 as a mouse navigates virtual reality. We also have our first fibre photometry data! It's not the biggest news, but certainly a milestone!

New preprint peer review available on eLife
Peer reviews are now available online for our manuscript entitled 'The locus coeruleus broadcasts prediction errors across the cortex to promote sensorimotor plasticity'. In fact, it is the first ever preprint reviewed by eLife's new open peer review service model!

The Prediction & Plasticity lab will open at the University of Edinburgh in early 2023
After successfully interviewing in the stormy beginning of 2022, it is confirmed that Rebecca will start the lab as a Simons ESAT fellow at the Simons Initiative for the Developing Brain at the University of Edinburgh! The lab will open in February 2023. Watch out for postdoctoral and PhD positions opening soon.
