By combining behavioral and wireless eye tracking and neural monitoring, a team of Rice University scientists and collaborators studied how pairs of freely moving macaques interacting in a naturalistic setting use visual cues to guide complex, goal-oriented cooperative behavior.
Recent research from the lab of Valentin Dragoi, PhD, Rochelle and Max Levitt Distinguished Professor in the Neurosciences, revealing for the first time that cortical feedback projections carry attentional signals to individual neurons and cell populations in the visual cortex, has been published in Science as a research article.

The Graduate Student Education Committee at McGovern Medical School has named Natasha Kharas one of six students from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center UTHealth Graduate School of Biomedical Science as a recipient of the 2020 Dean’s Research Scholarship Awards.
Members of the Dragoi Lab at McGovern Medical School may be one step closer to answering that question in their recent study titled “Integration of cortical population signals for visual perception,” published in Nature Communications.
Valentin Dragoi, PhD, Sunny Nigam, PhD, and Sorin Pojoga, PhD, have their paper, “Synergistic Coding of Visual Information in Columnar Networks,” published in Neuron.
A lay summary of Melissa Franch’s preclinical research into how the brain manages social interactions was sent to the nearly 300 journalists covering the meeting. Only about 100 of the more than 14,000 abstracts submitted to the meeting are awarded this recognition.
