Chris is investigating how signals from the motor cortex and the cerebellum -- two important areas of the brain's motor processing circuitry-- are integrated in the thalamus. He is doing this with a combination of the latest available tools, which is very promising and very challenging. Nonetheless, he succeeded to record the first spikes in a running mouse in the Grass lab 2014. But this was already one week ago and in the meantime Chris managed to repeat this recording but this time from single neurons. Given that he even went whole-cell we are curious what will happen next.
