New paper alert from the lab! In our latest study, we explore how CA3 and the entorhinal cortex (EC) differentially contribute to hippocampal ripple dynamics. www.cell.com/iscience/pdf...

I really think one of the best things about science is the people you meet along the way. Thanks @mbrodzki.bsky.social,Gabriela, Leandro, Christoffer and Felipe!Especially thanks to @szczotml.bsky.social and Ilona,I really enjoyed all our discussions! Now, I'm very excited about what's coming next!
Finally, we managed to take a lab picture
