Hippocampal astrocytic sequences emerge during learning and memory recall
Nature Neuroscience - Senne, Suthard and colleagues show that dorsal hippocampal astrocytes display time-compressed calcium-event sequences after foot shock and upon context re-exposure, and that...

In this episode of @braininspired.bsky.social, @dlevenstein.bsky.social explains how internally generated brain activity during sleep shapes our cognition, and why NeuroAI is such a powerful approach to understanding our brains. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/brain-inspir...

What’s the role of spontaneous neural activity during sleep?
Daniel Levenstein explains how internally generated brain activity during sleep shapes our cognition, and why NeuroAI is such a powerful approach.

One faculty ad, 200 applicants, 600 papers before the first shortlist. Nobody can read that, so metrics do the reducing — and slowly a committee stops reading at all. An essay on what we lose when judgement is handed to citation counts and h-indices. 🧵 academicrenewal.substack.com/p/when-acade...

When academics stop reading
Metrics can help decide where to look, but they turn dangerous when they replace contact with the work itself.

Couldn’t agree more. And where systems-level differences exist across species, we are gifted a natural manipulation that can point to critical circuit elements/mechanisms

Can humans & animals really use internal maps to take shortcuts? Tolman famously said yes - based largely on his Sunburst maze. Our new review & meta-analysis suggests evidence is far weaker than you might think. 🧵👇 doi.org/10.1111/ejn.... @uofgpsychneuro.bsky.social @ejneuroscience.bsky.social

Tolman's Sunburst Maze 80 Years on: A Meta‐Analysis Reveals Poor Replicability and Little Evidence for Shortcutting
In 1946, Tolman et al. reported that rats could take a novel shortcut to a goal after training on an indirect route, supporting the Cognitive Map theory. However, a review of subsequent Sunburst maze...

Our new preprint: The primate hippocampus parses experience into event-aligned neural states, creating a temporal scaffold for organizing behavior. At #SfN25 ? Come chat at my poster — Wednesday AM (PP14; 414.03).

Yup, this happened to me: grant submitted in September, study section that should have discussed it in February was delayed until late March, then grant was withdrawn by NIH 3 days before the study section met because of lack of this document. I lost almost a year. Don't let this happen to you!

Exciting news!! I’m joining the tenure-track faculty at University of Colorado Boulder this fall as an Assistant Professor of Psychology & Neuroscience! The Sosa Lab will study how memory is shaped by cognitive and physiological demands, including during pregnancy and the postpartum period. 🧵

It’s an incredible feeling to see something you’ve poured your heart into come to life. This work was born from my curiosity about hippocampal “cognitive tuning.” Our interpretation of the environment depends on our actions, constantly evolving as we pursue our goals www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hippocampal neuronal activity is aligned with action plans - Nature
Using high-density electrophysiological recordings, how internally generated cell assemblies are updated by action plans to meet external goals is explored.

"The inevitability and superfluousness of cell types in spatial cognition" w Ken Luo @robmok.bsky.social Whether place, border, head direction, Jennifer Aniston, or whatever cells, are we fooling ourselves? Are these intuitive findings scientific discoveries? 1/6 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

"exhaust fumes" made it into the official abstract! hence completing the journey from an epiphenomenal shitpost blog to a full-blown review paper. all thanks to this cast of co-authors (esp. Sander), our TICS editor Lindsey Drayton, and two very engaged reviewers (@danielemarinazzo.bsky.social)

What do you get if you ask a recurrent network (like the PFC or Entorhinal cortex) to generalise a transition structure? Turns out different things depending on how intimate they are with an external memory (like Hippocampus). Elegant theory led by @jcrwhittington.bsky.social

Have you wondered whether fast spatiotemporal brain dynamics like traveling waves are local, confined to just one region, or whether they are shared across many regions simultaneously? The latest work from Zhiwen Ye in my lab has the answer! Thread- www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
