Thompson: Systems Neuroscience, a three-ring brain carnival with no exits. Theories spewed like mescaline visions at 3 AM in Barstow. You’ll get blasted with the twitching wisdom of Earl—professor by day, deranged tour guided by night. 2361

Reposted by Torfi SigurdssonJonas Sauer @jf-sauer.bsky.social · 11/03/2025New paper out! We found functional neuron classes in the mPFC with different spatial tuning properties (generalised vs. trajectory-specific) and distinct contribution to the encoding of task space. Great job by the first author Hannah! www.cell.com/cell-reports...cell.comConjoint generalized and trajectory-specific coding of task structure by prefrontal neuronsNeurons in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) show spatially modulated activities. Muysers et al. show that mPFC neurons fall into distinct functional classes that differ in terms of their spatial tu... 183
