Finally a tweeprint on our recent preprint presenting Vector-HaSH ! Vector-HaSH extends MESH to unify two important and seemingly independent roles of hippocampus: Spatial Mapping and Episodic Memory ! Brief talk: youtube.com/watch?v=P4kHqk0F… Preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 1/n

+1 to an amazing conceptual breakthrough in theoretical neuroscience that I think did not depend on big data or fancy technologies. What we can say is that BRAIN technologies will make the theory testable in a much more conclusive way than was ever possible.

Btw, I don't know if @FieteGroup is funded by BRAIN, but their recent work understanding grid cell-place cell dynamics as a general mechanism for episodic memory that factorizes problem of building attractors from problem of assigning content to them, is such a beautiful and creative synthesis of a large amount of observational data leading to an entirely new conceptual insight. The experimental work underpinning it goes back to John O' Keefe 1976.
