🚨 New paper @Nature ! We asked why two hippocampal areas with very different anatomy, CA3 and CA1, often seem to code space so similarly.

By recording bats flying up to 200 m, we found the difference was hidden by scale!

ARTEMIS II🚨: In the mission, the 4 astronauts will travel 400,000 km from Earth, which would be the farthest any human has ever gone in all of humanity.

Thrilled to share our new paper is out in
@Science!
How do pigeons detect magnetic field? Together with @spencerbalay we screened their brains - and found some surprising answers! https://t.co/4D2rQrlZVq
Big thanks to all fantastic coauthors

In 1960, Dr. Jane Goodall’s early fieldwork observing chimpanzees at Gombe Stream Game Reserve, in Tanganyika (now Tanzania), unveiled groundbreaking research of shared behaviors between humans and apes.
The Jane Goodall Institute announced on October 1, 2025, that Jane Goodall died at 91. A primatologist, conservationist, animal advocate, educator, and National Geographic Explorer, her work revolutionized our understanding of the natural world.

Finally out this amazing tool developed by @AnoushkaJain3 for automated spike sorting!!! @simonMusall For neuropixels and spiking data users, it is worth a try! https://t.co/HhkUrvoUKe

Aditi's work showing distal CA1 can precess and show theta dynamics comparable to proximal CA1 is finally published in Hippocampus:

Doing good science is 90% finding a science buddy to constantly talk to about the project.

[Pierre-Yves @PierreY83952112]

Super proud of @CLau29410995 ‘s phd work. She shows that the retrosplenial cortex (not the hippocampus) simultaneously possesses spatial signals anchor in local and global spaces in connected environments.

I am presenting my work with @SacSDesh at SfN for the first time. Come find out what CA1 place cells do when the arena's size changes. The virtual (only) poster and a video are here.

[Aditi Bishnoi @BishnoiAditi]

Missing the in-person @SfN_Events again this year due to US visa issues but glad to present my latest work as a virtual poster.
Search for "PSTR438.02" to know how non-theta modulated inputs can shape theta phase precession dynamics. Let's chat

Call for PhD applications at Shiv Nadar University is now open! Those of you interested in neuroscience, animal behavior, electrophysiology, spatial navigation, learning and memory, are encouraged to apply. Feel free to email me if you have any questions.

[Pierre-Yves @PierreY83952112]

Francesca Sargolini is looking for a PhD student to work on a head direction cell project . I would love to apply but I can’t 😅… so consider applying or rt please!!! …and be sure you’ll work with the best supervisor/scientist I know 😉
