Yesterday I had the absolute pleasure of being invited to be a panellist at the Institute for Research in Schools conference & thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It was such a joy to see so many young people interested in & excited about scientific research! & we love any excuse for pink trousers!

Check out a day in the life at #SfN2024! From sharing our research, to networking with fellow scientists, we think conferences are one of the best parts of working in science! Have you been to SfN before, or is it on your bucket list?🧠 @sfn.org @sfnjournals.bsky.social @rachelga.bsky.social (2/2)

Huge congrats to @karyna-mi.bsky.social for her paper published today in Science! She found that the hippocampus is really important for a key strategy we use to make decisions called hidden state inference! 🧪 🧠https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adq5874 1/7

Hidden state inference requires abstract contextual representations in the ventral hippocampus

The ability to use subjective, latent contextual representations to influence decision-making is crucial for everyday life. The hippocampus is hypothesized to bind together otherwise abstract combinat...
