A layman's summary of our recent paper on mental navigation in the primate brain (my postdoctoral work w/ @FieteGroup and @mjaz_jazlab):

1/ Super-excited to share our new work “Episodic and associative memory from spatial scaffolds in the hippocampus”, out in Nature today! https://t.co/QYcLNhhEwr @FieteGroup@sugsharma@rischaudhuri. Key insights and ideas 👇#tweeprint
Finally a tweeprint on our recent preprint presenting Vector-HaSH !
Vector-HaSH extends MESH to unify two important and seemingly independent roles of hippocampus: Spatial Mapping and Episodic Memory !

Hello neuroscience postdocs! Do you have exciting work and future plans? We are hoping to invite you to give a talk at MIT BCS! details https://t.co/wSlaNkwPNh
‘Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value..’ What if we premised our actions on every human’s capacity to enquire and recognize truth? What would #STEM look like with universal participation? We describe an effort towards this vision here: https://t.co/hDJKsD1Yki
oneness is the only truth.
my well-being is bound up in yours. your well-being is bound up in your neighbor’s.
separateness, otherness, fragmentation, division, distinction, competition, dominance and subordination are the greatest lies we have ever been told.
🚨New Preprint! Wondered how grid cells form multiple discrete modules? Interested in continuous attractors and modularity? With @FieteGroup, we discover + generalize a physical mechanism for forming modules from smoothly varying parameters in a dynamical system!👇(1/15)
Thrilled that my essay on the perception of time is finally published. In it, I challenge the idea that animals explicitly estimate the duration of ~second-long intervals internally using neuronal representations of time.
A 🧵to explain this upsetting idea

کلیپ تاثیرگذاری از @tinyspeckproductions که به یاد ده زن شیراز تهیه، و برای کمپین #داستان_ما_یکیست ارسال شده است.
Compelling short video by @tinyspeckproductions posted by @omiddjalili and @masih.alinejad in support of the #ourstoryisone campaign!
In an interview with @russellbrand, comedian @omiddjalili explains the story of the execution of 10 Bahai women of Shiraz, Iran and the resilience and courage of Iranian women today.

"Bitter men in dark rooms
hatch their petty plots
and good people die
and good people cry
...
Love is stronger than hate
and tears
are a sign of strength"
A poem inspired by the execution of 10 women of Shiraz, Iran 40 years ago.#OurStoryIsOne

We're excited to announce our 2023 SYNCS speakers! This series is a new effort, organized by postdocs and funded by @UCLA_BRI, to highlight *both* cutting-edge scientific work & incredible outreach and community-engagement efforts by external postdocs during a visit to UCLA.
Learned a ton from @mjaz_jazlab & @FieteGroup! We show that when monkeys mentally navigate between points on a memorized (1D) map, dynamics in the entorhinal cortex reflects the regularity of landmarks and has a signature of grid cell cont. attractor states.
