Single-trial neural dynamics are dominated by richly varied movements

S Musall, MT Kaufman, AL Juavinett, S Gluf… - Nature …, 2019 - nature.com
When experts are immersed in a task, do their brains prioritize task-related activity? Most
efforts to understand neural activity during well-learned tasks focus on cognitive computations …

Chronic, cortex-wide imaging of specific cell populations during behavior

J Couto, S Musall, XR Sun, A Khanal, S Gluf… - Nature protocols, 2021 - nature.com
Measurements of neuronal activity across brain areas are important for understanding the
neural correlates of cognitive and motor processes such as attention, decision-making and …

[HTML][HTML] Pyramidal cell types drive functionally distinct cortical activity patterns during decision-making

S Musall, XR Sun, H Mohan, X An, S Gluf, SJ Li… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
Understanding how cortical circuits generate complex behavior requires investigating the
cell types that comprise them. Functional differences across pyramidal neuron (PyN) types …

Effects of neural synchrony on surface EEG

S Musall, V Von Pföstl, A Rauch, NK Logothetis… - Cerebral …, 2014 - academic.oup.com
It has long been assumed that the surface electroencephalography (EEG) signal depends
on both the amplitude and spatial synchronization of underlying neural activity, though …

Movement-related activity dominates cortex during sensory-guided decision making

S Musall, MT Kaufman, S Gluf, AK Churchland - BioRxiv, 2018 - biorxiv.org
An animal’s movements and internal state generate an “internal backdrop” of activity that is
dynamically modulated. During behavior, this internal backdrop interacts with signals arising …

[HTML][HTML] Optogenetically stimulating intact rat corticospinal tract post-stroke restores motor control through regionalized functional circuit formation

…, U Büchler, A Brändli, B Brattoli, S Musall… - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
Current neuromodulatory strategies to enhance motor recovery after stroke often target large
brain areas non-specifically and without sufficient understanding of their interaction with …

BehaveNet: nonlinear embedding and Bayesian neural decoding of behavioral videos

…, D Biderman, T Abe, S Musall… - Advances in …, 2019 - proceedings.neurips.cc
A fundamental goal of systems neuroscience is to understand the relationship between
neural activity and behavior. Behavior has traditionally been characterized by low-dimensional, …

Tactile frequency discrimination is enhanced by circumventing neocortical adaptation

S Musall, W Von Der Behrens, JM Mayrhofer… - Nature …, 2014 - nature.com
Neocortical responses typically adapt to repeated sensory stimulation, improving sensitivity
to stimulus changes, but possibly also imposing limitations on perception. For example, it is …

[PDF][PDF] BRICseq bridges brain-wide interregional connectivity to neural activity and gene expression in single animals

L Huang, JM Kebschull, D Fürth, S Musall, MT Kaufman… - Cell, 2020 - cell.com
Comprehensive analysis of neuronal networks requires brain-wide measurement of
connectivity, activity, and gene expression. Although high-throughput methods are available for …

[HTML][HTML] Localized semi-nonnegative matrix factorization (LocaNMF) of widefield calcium imaging data

S Saxena, I Kinsella, S Musall, SH Kim… - PLoS computational …, 2020 - journals.plos.org
