#tweetprint time! Between bouts of doom scrolling I put together the last big project of my postdoc:
"Dorsomedial prefrontal neural ensembles reflect changes in task utility"

🌟 Cai Lab @Nature paper alert! In new work led by @mysteriousjoe_, we find that rest periods after learning not only stabilize new memories BUT ALSO integrate new memories with older ones from days past! (1/9)

After a heart attack, immune cells are recruited to the brain to induce sleep, which suppresses inflammation in the heart and aids recovery @Nature@cam_phd@peacemakerhuynh

🚨 New #Tweeprint 🚨 Ever wondered how the HPC supports learning across different contexts? This study, w @SaraASolla & @DisterhoftLab, uncovers a 'universal' memory code in the HPC—consistent across animals and environments! 🧵👇

When we anticipate the future, the brain shows graded representations of the future & past. The scale of these representations increases systematically from lower- to higher-order regions.
Proud of this work by @hannahtstoll, a collab w/ @ChrisBaldassano!

✨🥰 check out our article - and cover 🤩- about Decoding the Brain in @CellCellPress

We review the mathematics, current approaches, and muse about the future…

Thanks to my awesome co-authors Adriana Perez Rotondo, Edward Chang, @AToliasLab & @TrackingPlumes
Our new paper in @Nature shows that entorhinal grid cells adapt their representations to a new environment in one-shot and we derive a model that fuses landmarks & motion to *predict* the detailed grid rep *before* the mouse enters the new environment!

A few postdocs asked me to read over their job applications. Here’s a few bits of advice: 🧵 /10
1. If any advice doesn’t ring true for you, discard it (including this!)
2. People on the search committee are keen to welcome a colleague, they aren’t looking to take you down
📢 Our newest preprint is up—just in time for SfN! Come by the nano Tues am N228 for the 10 min version, or see 🧵
The unexpected punchline: when a chickadee looks at a place from a distance, the SAME place codes activate as if it were actually there 👁️ https://t.co/8ZGZ6NhVRB
Hippocampus generates an internal model of Euclidean space. We ventured in a spatial odyssey exploring how much of the internal model is a priori, innate (Nature) and what is contributed by postnatal experience of Euclidean geometry (Nurture)

Dopamine flooded my brain's pleasure center while Vijay @vijay_mkn
and Ali @mohebial told me how it's out with the old and in with the new dopamine stories.

How a crying baby is similar to denoising an ephys rig:
1) There's noise and you don't know why
2) You need to stay grounded
3) You have superstitious beliefs about what actions stop the noise
4) These actions work sometimes but not always
5) The noise can randomly start again
Happy to share my first paper with @HasselmoMichael, "Distinct codes for environment structure and symmetry in postrhinal and retrosplenial cortices" https://t.co/nxz0733tHS
