Great new paper with @Silviventu She showed that enriched rats are better at hard memory problems, have sparser hippocampal activity and more rate remapping in CA3 authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…

My latest work tests the limits of pan-neuronal optogenetic entrainment of the septo-hippocampal circuit in relation to speed and cognitive demand. It also looks at the effects of static “low-theta” entrainment on spatial goal finding: dx.doi.org/10.1002/hipo.2324…
