Multi-day neuron tracking in high-density electrophysiology recordings using earth mover's distance (2024)
Journal Article
Yuan, A., Colonell, J., Lebedeva, A., Okun, M., Charles, A., & Harris, T. D. (2024). Multi-day neuron tracking in high-density electrophysiology recordings using earth mover's distance. eLife, 12, Article 92495. https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.92495.3

Accurate tracking of the same neurons across multiple days is crucial for studying changes in neuronal activity during learning and adaptation. Advances in high-density extracellular electrophysiology recording probes, such as Neuropixels, provide a...

Brain state transitions primarily impact the spontaneous rate of slow-firing neurons (2023)
Journal Article
Dearnley, B., Jones, M., Dervinis, M., & Okun, M. (2023). Brain state transitions primarily impact the spontaneous rate of slow-firing neurons. Cell Reports, 42(10), Article 113185. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.celrep.2023.113185

The spontaneous firing of neurons is modulated by brain state. Here, we examine how such modulation impacts the overall distribution of firing rates in neuronal populations of neocortical, hippocampal, and thalamic areas across natural and pharmacolo...

Logarithmically scaled, gamma distributed neuronal spiking (2022)
Journal Article
Levenstein, D., & Okun, M. (2023). Logarithmically scaled, gamma distributed neuronal spiking. Journal of Physiology, 601(15), 3055-3069. https://doi.org/10.1113/jp282758

Naturally log-scaled quantities abound in the nervous system. Distributions of these quantities have non-intuitive properties, which have implications for data analysis and the understanding of neural circuits. Here, we review the log-scaled statisti...
