Check out our latest preprint!
1/I am pleased to share our new preprint, "Vision shapes neural maps of space through an ancient midbrain pathway," in which we determine how visual signals used in neural representations of space reach the hippocampus (HC). biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

1/12 How do animals build an internal map of the world? In our new paper, we tracked thousands of neurons in mouse CA1 over days/weeks as they learned a VR navigation task. @nspruston @HHMIJanelia, w/ co-1st author @JohanWinn Video summary: youtube.com/watch?v=yw_4uVur… Paper: nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

This was a very challenging review to write, but was also a lot of fun due to working with thoughtful co-authors Dylan Martins (@dmmartins), Joy Manda, and Phil Parker (@CosmouseVision).

Excited to share our new results! We (huge team effort led by post-doc extraordinaire @SLLesuis) examined the effects of acute stress on threat memory generalization and engram ensemble architecture. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

New preprint post! We show that motor commands in the superior colliculus shift the internal representation of heading during REM sleep despite the immobility of sleeping mice. Thus, the brain simulates actions and their consequences during REM sleep.🧵1/7 doi.org/10.1101/2024.08.13.6…

I am delighted to see this published. Many years in the making and only possible thanks to the unwavering determination of @AGonzalezRueda. Thanks to all lab members and collaborators involved!
Our latest paper is out @Nature!! 🧵1/4 By exploiting the genetic identity of premotor neurons in the SC, Self-inactivating Rabies, in vivo ephys and computational modelling, we challenged the current view on sensorimotor alignment. nature.com/articles/s41586-0… @MRC_LMB @martripodi

New paper from the lab 🥳 @NatureNeuro The 'internal compass' can do more than tracking head-direction (HD) 👉 thalamic HD cells respond to sensory stimuli and are modulated by behavioral state (e.g. during social interactions) nature.com/articles/s41593-0…

New paper from the lab! We described how hippocampal assembly co-activity and temporally-compressed sequences are complementary codes that support associative and predictive aspects of memory:science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… With amzng @canliu18, @raly_todorova, Wenbo Tang and @azayhara

Our new paper led by @johnhwen1 & Ben Sorscher w/ @lisa_giocomo revealing how grid cells fuse landmarks & self-motion to create maps of new environments in a *single* exposure; our model predicts the detailed map of a new env *before* the mouse enters it! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

CAI LAB PREPRINT🧠! In a team effort led by @mysteriousjoe_, we found that rest periods after learning not only stabilize new memories BUT ALSO integrate new memories with older memories from days past! 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
