Two new preprints from the lab on mice running scared to a shelter!

Brought to you by two amazing PhD students, @Federico_claudi and @PShamash at @SWC_Neuro.

From November, join us on our 6th block, and we will navigate together until the end of the year...🐾🗺️
Neuroscience of Navigation with @Erik_Hermansen1, Sarthak Chandra, @QasimEtal, @jacobbellmund, @HannahPaynePhD, @nicktmrobinson, @PShamash and @ak_gillespie!

@LabeledLines @ElDuvelle @trabranco Thanks Walter. I agree! We don't actually argue against spatial maps. We say that subgoals do rely on an allocentric map, but they are learned/stored differently from how such maps are traditionally thought to operate (the 'hybrid' approach - see para. 3-4 of discussion)

[Tiago Branco @trabranco]

@PShamash paper on navigating to goals by learning subgoal locations is now out!

Thank you to reviewers and editors for supporting publication of a pure behaviour paper. May this become ever more common. Behaviour is one of the best windows into the brain.

[Tiago Branco @trabranco]

Mice spontaneously learn a subgoal memory strategy when escaping to shelter or seeking a food source in obstructed environments. New preprint from the lab by @PShamash, Shamash the Great.
