PhD defense + thesis submission done! 🥳 Thanks to my fantastic committee: @ColginLab, @markbrandonlab, @sylvain_baillet, Stuart Threnholm and, my supervisor, @apeyrache ⚡ and all the people that motivated me in this process, including the amazing Canadian neuroscience community

Excited to share the sequel to our 2022 paper! In this follow-up, we show that the stable head direction (HD) signals we reported in blind mice rely on stereo olfaction—that is, the comparison of odor info. between the two nostrils.

@KAsumbisa Such a smart experiment! 🔥

[Gilberto R. Vite @gilberto_vite]

Hello friends! Defending my PhD thesis tomorrow at 15:00 (EST) 🎉. Key insight: thalamic HD signals help organize MEC activity across states🔥 Check out my presentation here: https://t.co/WXRN1MUmg9 It'll be a quick walkthrough of the main highlights of my work. #PhDLife #ajúa

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

@soledad_gcogno @NTNU @KISNeuro 🎉 Congrats Sole! 🎉 Amazing news 🚀 Awesome things to come!

[Adrien Peyrache 🪐😴⚡️ @apeyrache]

🥳Super pumped to share our latest collaboration with @EmilieMaceLab and Stuart Trenholm.
We show how visual objects specifically recruit neurons in the spatial navigation system, especially in the head-direction network, suggesting a specific circuit to detect landmarks 1/

[Gilberto R. Vite @gilberto_vite]

@Guyiguyi Congrats Yi!!! 🎉

[Gilberto R. Vite @gilberto_vite]

Is the MEC activity orchestrated by a thalamic input? (mysterious mystery) Come check my poster tomorrow morning 09/Oct to discuss it. V30. I would love to hear your thoughts! 🙂 #SfN24

[Adrien Peyrache 🪐😴⚡️ @apeyrache]

Monday am, 190.20 / V30: 🗺️🧭😴 Consistent coordination between medial entorhinal cortex and thalamic head direction cells during wake and sleep. @gilberto_vite asks an important: what if the MEC activity was orchestrated (in part) by thalamic inputs?

[Gilberto R. Vite @gilberto_vite]

Let's have a chat about the navigation system of the brain, attractor dynamics, sleep or anything that excites you about the brain 🧠 Send me a DM to meet up! ☕ 🙂

[Gilberto R. Vite @gilberto_vite]

Just landed in the amazing city of Chicago 😍 excited for #SfN24

[Gilberto R. Vite @gilberto_vite]

... and he is also a musician and a climber so you will have a cool mentor 🔥

#neuroscience grad students coming to Canada! 🇨🇦 Don't miss this incredible opportunity to work with Quinn, a fantastic mentor bridging experimental & theoretical neuroscience ⚡️. #gradschool #research

[Gilberto R. Vite @gilberto_vite]

@j_quinn_lee @Psych_UAlberta Congrats again Quinn! 🥳⛰️🧠🖥️⚡️

[Brain Canada @BrainCanada]

Exciting news! We are thrilled to announce the recipients of the Momentum Grants. Congratulations to @AVogelCiernia Michèle Desjardins (@universitelaval) @MarkCembrowski Stuart Trenholm (@mcgillu) and @markbrandonlab 🧠💡 #BrainResearch

[Sylvain Baillet 🕊️ @sylvain_baillet]

8 years ago, @sylv_villeneuve & I set out to map how Alzheimer’s pathology affects brain activity. Thrilled to share our first results, showing how Aβ and tau proteins synergistically associate w/ brain neurophys & cog decline, now out in @NatureNeuro I https://t.co/TiwpcladTG
