Great evening with Maarten Kole (middle) from the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience and colleagues in Amsterdam.

[Amar Sahay @AmarSahay_]

Indexing, Representational Drift, Time keeping mechanisms, memory landmarks, and inhibitory neurons.. Fun evening with ⁦@bartos_marlene⁩ ⁦@J_S_Farrell⁩

[Marlene Bartos @bartos_marlene]

@AmarSahay_ Yes, it’s a great path for an early morning run.

Remarkably, hippocampal PV neurons, which usually exhibit low spatial tuning, became more spatially selective after removing CP-AMPARs, indicating that CP-AMPARs suppress the feature selectivity of neurons beyond vision. @thainmueller and
@bartos_marlene don't mess around.

[Ingie Hong @Ih_current]

Interestingly, excitatory-PV interneuron connectivity rates and unitary synaptic strength were unaltered by CP-AMPAR removal, suggesting that the selectivity of PV interneurons can be altered without drastically changing connectivity. Kudos to Juhyun Kim and
@brownlaboratory!

@sjo09 It was a great talk! We very much enjoyed having you in the lab.

[Sheena Josselyn @sjo09]

Great visit to Freiburg to talk engrams and memory with ⁦@bartos_marlene⁩, Monika Schonauer, Claudio Elgueta and colleagues!

[Marlene Bartos @bartos_marlene]

The kick-off meeting of our research consortium IN-CODE (inhibitory neurons: shaping the cortical code) took place in Freiburg. We are looking forward to a fruitful interdisciplinary and collaborative work.

Chess Grandmaster Anna Muzychuk refuses to play in Saudi Arabia and says: "In a few days, I will lose two world titles, back to back." Because I decided not to go to Saudi Arabia. I refuse to play by special rules, to wear abaya, to be accompanied by a man so I can leave the hotel, so I don't feel like a second class person.
"I will follow my principles and not compete in the World Fast Chess and Blitz Championship where in just 5 days I could have won more money than dozens of other tournaments combined." This is all very nasty but the sad part is no one seems to care. Bitter feelings but can't go back. "

Thanks to the members of the Physiology Department 1 in Freiburg (Letzkus, Sauer, Veit, Cholvin, Elgueta, Bartos groups) and their excellent contributions to a very successful Neuroscience retreat at the castle Beugen this year.

[Marlene Bartos @bartos_marlene]

View our new study on persistently active ensembles of neurons in the medial prefrontal cortex of mice that reliably maintain trajectory-specific tuning over week’s while animals perform an olfaction guided spatial memory task. Published in Nature Com.

@TorfiSigurdsson Thanks!

[Marlene Bartos @bartos_marlene]

I am happy to share our recent study published in Nature Comm on hippocampal interneuron circuits governing the representation of novelty in mice. doi: 10.1038s41467-024-44882-3

Couldn't have asked for a better #FENS2022 experience! I was especially lucky to engage with so many inspiring female neuroscientists @GjorJulijana @KanakaRajanPhD @ClopathLab @bartos_marlene @YiotaPoirazi and many others, who are paving the way for the future generation🙏

[Marlene Bartos @bartos_marlene]

Many thanks to Christine Grienberger and Christoph Schmidt-Hieber for organizing the Symposium S32 on ‚Understanding the formation of spatial representations: from synapses to circuits‘ at fens 2022. It was great to be part of it.

[Amar Sahay @AmarSahay_]

Part deux. Redux @SolteszLab @CurioNeuro @DraguhnL et al

[Marlene Bartos @bartos_marlene]

Many thanks to all participants of the symposium ‚neuronal representations - from synapsen & microcircuits to behavior‘ in Freiburg. Brillant talks and a great community! See https://t.co/vZ2HPABjKg
