[James Whittington @jcrwhittington]

Review finally out! It goes through hippocampal representational models and what they tell us about building cognitive maps. Am very pleased with it! Many thanks to @behrenstimb, @d_mccaffary, and @BakermansJJW ! (1/9)

[Liz Chrastil @chrastil]

🚨 Attention prospective PhD students! My lab is looking for students especially in two areas:
1. Individual differences in navigation ability (multi-site study).
2. The relationship between decision making and navigation (cognitive graphs) w/@urrational

I'm hiring a new postdoc - please RT! Projects available to study head direction and grid networks, representational drift, or DG/neurogenesis mediated pattern separation. Will receive training on Ca+ imaging and/or ephys, modeling, and analysis! DM if interested!

Introducing RatInABox: an open-source package for motion and cell modelling in continuous environments. RatInABox makes modelling the neural processes underpinning spatial navigation faster, easier, more reproducible and more realistic. Give it a go here: https://t.co/6z4r3XKOrJ

@atkeinath Congrats Alex! So happy for you. You'll only be a couple hours north of UIUC. When are you coming to visit?

[Mark Brandon, PhD. @markbrandonlab]

New content from the lab! This preprint is the result of nearly 7 yrs of hard work from @jason_hyun_yong and @hr_chang. We tested whether hippocampal theta oscillations are required to support work memory. Summary thread below!

[Gina Poe @doctorpoe]

Only 6% of applicants and only 5% of awardees are from groups underrepresented in the research. SO this is a new R01 mechanism! #nspeeps @MBL_SPINES @BlackInNeuro @LatinxInNeuro please pass the word along!

[George Dragoi @GeorgeDragoi2]

We currently have openings for postdoctoral positions in the lab. If you are looking for a postdoctoral position and are inspired by these works and others from my lab @YaleMed, e.g., development/ontogeny of hippocampal neuronal ensemble activity, please email or DM me. Please RT

[Mark Brandon, PhD. @markbrandonlab]

Our latest work on representational drift in the hippocampus is out today in @NatureComms led by the fantastic @atkeinath and @CA_Mosser!

The representation of context in mouse hippocampus is preserved despite neural drift

[Michael Hasselmo @HasselmoMichael]

I encourage submissions to this special issue of Hippocampus that will highlight research on both egocentric and allocentric neuronal responses to views, landmarks or scenes from a range of different regions associated with the hippocampal formation.

[Adrian Duszkiewicz @AdrianDu_]

My first postdoc preprint from @apeyrache lab is finally out! Focusing on our favourite neural system, the head-direction circuit, we show that cortical inhibitory tuning may be somewhat more structured that it is often assumed... Thread below 🔻🔻🔻

NEW publication
@markpaulbrandon & Johnson Ying publish in @NatureComms a new article about Grid cells and the spatial memory deficit in #Alzheimer 's disease
👇

[Mark Brandon, PhD. @markbrandonlab]

New paper! We provide an important clue into the neuronal basis that underlies spatial memory deficits commonly reported in the earliest stages of Alzheimer's disease.

Spoiler alert... grid cells!
