Very interesting work! Comparison between Dreamer and hippocampus was on my todo list. I wonder, did you use the original model or a scaled-down version? The original one looked massive to me

Literally yesterday (very) early morning messaging to myself. I'm curious, do you know of any such experiment on ephys data?

What drives the sequential emergence of spatial neurons in developing rats? In our ICLR 2026 paper, we show how changes in movement statistics drive spatial tuning. Our model replicates experimental timelines and predicts novel conjunctive tuning maturation. doi.org/10.64898/2025.12.30.696864

Excited to share that our preprint is out! doi.org/10.1101/2024... The structure of place cell reactivations was disordered in AD mice compared to WT! This was predictive of reduced place cell stability and memory performance on a radial-arm maze task. Here are a few details: 1/5🧵

Disordered Hippocampal Reactivations Predict Spatial Memory Deficits in a Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterised by progressive memory decline associated with hippocampal degeneration. However, the specific physiological mechanisms underlying hippocampal dysfunction in A...
