Does cortex use the same neurons across tasks?

Task specificity in mouse parietal cortex
by @synapticlee with Michael Krumin and @kennethd_harris
doi.org/10.1016/j.neur…
The brain meets a myriad behavioral demands with a limited number of neurons. Does it use the same neurons across behaviors? We addressed this question in mouse parietal cortex, where neurons are thought to be multitaskers. The results surprised us… 1/n

Functional ultrasound imaging (fUSI) reveals large fluctuations within & across brain regions. @anwarnunez and Michael Krumin found that these fluctuations accurately reflect the underlying neural spikes. With @charureddy @opto_brain_imag @kennethd_harris

This was exactly 1.5 years ago, and it worked: @NeuroCellPress is now Open Access (a Transformative Journal in @cOAlitionS_OA lingo). This battle is won. Next: Article Processing Charges, which are too high at some journals. Easiest way to lower them is for funders to set limits.
A letter to Elsevier from 79 members of the Board of Neuron. We urge Neuron to transition to full Open Access.

So, is it the physical context that determines specificity? To this this rigorously, @synapticlee trained mice in a THIRD, hybrid task: mice steer a wheel to rotate their view in virtual reality. The answer was unequivocal: specificity depends on physical context. 6/n

So, @synapticlee discovered that neurons in parietal cortex are specialists, active only in specific physical contexts. The brain allocates different neurons to different tasks, even where neurons were thought to multitask. Read all about it:
