Show PostSpecial to see this paper out from my former lab: >10 years in the making. Lots of striking results! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Show PostThis type of spatial heterogeneity is also observed in cortical acetylcholine signals: eg retinotopic ACh release in visual cortex. These observations also support local regulation at axon rather than at soma level. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
Show PostWait… localized norepinephrine transients in the awake visual cortex?! Who would have guessed this neuromodulatory signal is that spatially precise, right where visual processing is happening. Brain state control just got a lot more local. @ruedigersarah.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...
