Lots of cool findings about #FOS in this new paper, might change the interpretation of a lot of existing studies!

Especially:

“We propose that FOS does not primarily encode a neuron’s own spike frequency but indicates repeated participation in highly synchronized activity, e.g. #SWR .”👀

Neuronal FOS reports synchronized activity of presynaptic neurons
