I am entering hibernation mode on X. Not the platform for me any longer. I will continue to post on bluesky at @edvardmoser.bsky.social - see you there! @KISNeuro @MayBrittMoser

[May-Britt Moser @MayBrittMoser]

Stay safe and thanks for protecting Europe ❤️ I wish you all the best and victory 🙏

Sweeps represent an efficient mechanism for scanning locations in the ambient environment during navigation. Sweep direction could be explained by an algorithm that maximizes cumulative coverage of surrounding space.

[Edvard Ingjald Moser @EdvardMoser]

A hardwired high-speed sweep mechanism by which #gridcell populations scan the environment during navigation: Now out in @Nature !
Thanks to @azvollan and @brickobrain for this heroic work! @ERC_Research @MayBrittMoser @KISNeuro @NTNU @forskningsradet

Sweeps in place cells are delayed compared to sweeps in grid cells, pointing to an entorhinal origin. 📍

Congratulations with the prestigeous Young Talents grant, @WikiZong. More on https://t.co/OpByWaFovF, where you will find me in the future. @KISNeuro @KavliFoundation @forskningsradet @ERC_Research @MayBrittMoser

One of the most engaging meetings I have been to: 3 long talks per day, questions and discussion during talks, long follow-ups between talks, friendly atmosphere. Not unexpectedly the meeting generated many new ideas! @ERC_Research @KavliFoundation @KISNeuro #KiloNeurons

[Kavli Neuroscience @KISNeuro]

Our extended workshop “Theories of neural computations in the era of large-scale recordings” has officially wrapped up.

Thank you to all our wonderful speakers, poster presenters, attendees, & staff for making this event a great success.

Take a look at the highlights 👀

@KISNeuro @JonRWhitlock @yaksi_emre @EMBO @NTNUhelse @KavliFoundation @forskningsradet @ERC_Research @Nf_folkehelsen @MayBrittMoser @NathalieJuYa Congratulations to you both!

[Edvard Ingjald Moser @EdvardMoser]

Thanks so much to @ChanZuckerberg for helping us to spread @WikiZong ´s miniscope across the world. We knew already in 2022 that it would revolutionise neural population recordings but we needed CZI help to make it available to other labs! @KISNeuro @MayBrittMoser @ERC_Research

[Chan Zuckerberg Initiative @ChanZuckerberg]

Imagine a 🪟 into the brain where we could see memory, imagination + decision-making in real time.

Researchers @kisneuro + @TheMini2P have developed a tiny microscope that is so light we can observe completely new aspects of the living brain in action

Come check out the Moser Group at #FENS2024 @FENSorg!
Bring your curiosity for the Wednesday morning session at 9:30-14:30, June 26th at PS01-26AM.
We’ll show you eight exciting projects on hippocampal spatial encoding.
Expect @TheMini2P, #Neuropixels and #gridcell manifolds 🍩

[May-Britt Moser @MayBrittMoser]

Have you ever wondered why the progression of time does not feel linear? 🕰️👀 Neuropixels recording in lateral entorhinal cortex might give us a clue! @KISNeuro 👇🏽 brilliant work by Ben Kanter and Christy Lykken in our lab

[Edvard Ingjald Moser @EdvardMoser]

The flow of experience, expressed in trajectories of neural population activity, is discretized at event boundaries. Implications for how we recall time (and fail to). Creds:Ben Kanter, Christy Lykken, @MayBrittMoser, #KiloNeurons @ERC_Research @KISNeuro

[Edvard Ingjald Moser @EdvardMoser]

The findings overturn the concept of grid (and place) signals as a static representation of space and introduce instead grid (and place) cells as part of a circuit that systematically, dynamically and rigidly patrols the surrounding space. 8/8

[Edvard Ingjald Moser @EdvardMoser]

Grid cells have a geometry in time!

Sweep directions can be explained by an algorithm that maximizes cumulative coverage of surrounding space. Sweeps may serve as a ‘look-around’ mechanism for efficient spatial sampling, allowing maps to be formed much faster than by physical running. 7/8
