Who would have thought that doing a lab internship in Reno, Nevada would have important electoral consequences.

@katejjeffery Thank you Prof. Jeffery - your team’s 2022 study on bidirectional landmark cells in the RSC was really formative in getting me thinking more deeply about landmarks, so i’m thrilled you like this!

[Henry Denny @hdennyNeuro]

Very stoked this is out there in the world! 🥳 Right from the outset of my PhD, I wanted to know how landmarks were identified by neural navigation systems. I’m thrilled to have been invited into a project that really broke ground on the matter!

🥳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/

@j_quinn_lee @Psych_UAlberta Wow, congratulations Quinn! Can’t wait to read about what exciting work you get up to! 👀

[Henry Denny @hdennyNeuro]

Big thanks to Dom and @EmilieMaceLab , for inviting me in. Working on this has definitely been a PhD highlight.

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

@dlevenstein @apeyrache @andpru That’s the face of a man who dropped a probe (me) (it will happen again)

[Henry Denny @hdennyNeuro]

Thank you @SSkromne for my new friend 🥹

[Henry Denny @hdennyNeuro]

Thrilled to see this project come together.

All too often the fundamental contributions to open science - sharing freely your methods and data - goes unrewarded.

Glad to see there’s an avenue for recognition for those making those chipping away at the rockface!

Vanier Scholarships are the most prestigious awards for PhD 👩‍🎓👨‍🎓 in 🇨🇦.
It seems that it is going to be discontinued, to increase the pool of lower value awards, for which only 🇨🇦citizens/perm residents are eligible.
This is so unfair & unjustified.

@yutasenzai This is super cool, congratulations! 🎉🎉

New preprint post! We show that motor commands in the superior colliculus shift the internal representation of heading during REM sleep despite the immobility of sleeping mice. Thus, the brain simulates actions and their consequences during REM sleep.🧵1/7

I’m sorry i’ve not been very active here, i’ve been very busy having a brat summer.

First day in Hakata for the Japan Neuroscience Society #NEURO2024 meeting! Come say hi and learn about how thalamic inhibitory systems may shape the head direction attractor!
