We have a new preprint! By studying neuronal heterogeneity in CA3, we found a weird but powerful new feature in the hippocampal circuitry! 🧠 #neuroskyence 🧵.. Morse-Mora et al. | Hippocampal CA3 forms a two-layer network of molecularly distinct cell types in mice and humans doi.org/10.64898/202...
Mouse hippocampal slice with deep cells labelled blue, patch-clamp recorded cells in yellow, and deep CA3 projections labelled purple

It was a blast to put this review together with @adriennekinman.bsky.social and Larissa! The subiculum is a gem of a brain region. Also - the manuscript process at @cp-trendsneuro.bsky.social was a pleasure - thoughtful&involved feedback from reviewers&editor that really elevated our manuscript

New paper alert! 🚨 We found that the brain's compass is remarkably stable at two scales 1️⃣ the system maintains its internal organization for weeks 2️⃣ It "remembers" its orientation for weeks, even after a single visit This may be key to how the brain aligns its other maps. Paper: rdcu.be/e3waP
