Excited to have my first paper as a first author published today in @eLife! A great experience all around. Thanks to all of our collaborators and reviewers! Hopefully our contribution is useful for those looking to describe/discover neural sequences https://t.co/zdZBzkDRHh

🚨New Preprint! Wondered how grid cells form multiple discrete modules? Interested in continuous attractors and modularity? With @FieteGroup, we discover + generalize a physical mechanism for forming modules from smoothly varying parameters in a dynamical system!👇(1/15)
🏁🐦 Excited to share this new preprint by @selmaanchettih, me, Steph Hale, and Dmitriy Aronov!

Excited to share our 1st preprint on parrot vocal learning in the @jesseGlab !! We found some surprising differences in an important forebrain circuit between parrots and their evolutionary relatives–songbirds. https://t.co/ZIaknZwCmA
The @MichaleFee lab presents two miniature microscopes with innovative light paths, for imaging in juvenile zebra finches and in mice.

Join us in making the future neuroscience technology - @TheMini2P - at @KISNeuro available in neuroscience labs worldwide! Please retweet and help us get the right candidates 🧠!
Minute-scale neuronal oscillations can organize the entire entorhinal cell population into global periodic sequences – a scaffold for sequence learning? Congrats to @soledad_gcogno and rest of team @KISNeuro for this remarkable discovery! #KiloNeurons

WE DID IT: with a landslide margin of 1785–912, we are officially the MITGSU-UE!!!
What started 4 years ago with a dozen students in an MIT classroom discussing the needs of graduate workers has culminated in this historic victory for student-workers at MIT. Now, we celebrate!
Happy to share our paper out today in @Nature !
Using the bat’s structured, reproducible flight behavior and wireless miniscopes, we find a stable hippocampal code- and show apparent remapping/drifting of neural tuning is due to changes in behavior.
