1/12 How do animals build an internal map of the world? In our new paper, we tracked thousands of neurons in mouse CA1 over days/weeks as they learned a VR navigation task. @nspruston@HHMIJanelia, w/ co-1st author @JohanWinn

The first preprint of my postdoc with @jtdudman
is now online! Here we wanted to understand the algorithms mice use when learning to forage in large environments with many potential resources. 1/n https://t.co/2LHb6TMnbr
My new lab at @NorthwesternU@NuinComm will study the SC as a hub orchestrating perception in waking life and dreams during sleep. We study its interactions with thalamocortical circuits for active vision and navigation. We are hiring at all levels! 7/7

Happy to share our study (now on @ScienceMagazine) where we unveil how rats can use a hippocampal BMI to 'teleport' themselves or objects to distant places.

Immense thanks to @shinsuke255 for endless days & nights we spent together in the lab. Profound gratitude to Tim Harris and @AlbertLeeNeuro for their patience, guidance and enduring support that made this work possible.

Big shoutout to my friend James @AnEmergentI
for the early spotlight on our research in his thought-provoking blog: https://t.co/he1t1St90o Gems in many of super well-written blogs in his brilliant newsletter, I highly recommend.
Using a novel system to probe a rat's thoughts, researchers discovered animals can control their brain activity to imagine remote locations.💭 🐀
Findings are from @HHMIJanelia & HHMI researchers @chongxi_lai, @shinsuke255, @AlbertLeeNeuro & Tim Harris.

1/4 - Rats can think about where they would rather be. See our bioRxiv preprint https://t.co/lszzGnOLlq. Amazing work by @chongxi_lai and @shinsuke255, in collaboration with Tim Harris’ group at Janelia.
