Fruits of a collaboration with the @Vijay_Samineni lab. Many of the ventral pallidal cell types we know and love (and hack in rodents) are conserved in primates. Lead by Lite Yang with @lisazfang and @VincentCostaPhd. Hopefully the first of many contributions to come!

Elated to share some of my PhD work this week in @Frontiers in Neural Circuits! This thread might be longer than the paper itself but I have so many things to SAY and here, I can say them! To me, this work is all about context.
