![Is basic science undervalued? David Glanzman talks about the decline of 'middle class' labs and that "there is no empirical evidence that the translational approach accomplishes [cures] any better than the traditional one. Claims to the contrary at this point are mere propaganda”](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GdJvy2QWMAAWXCF.jpg "Itai Yanai (@itaiyanai) on Twitter photo Is basic science undervalued?

🎉Finally published PLOS Comp Biol ! Why do neurons use low-frequency oscillations for encoding? Why not use higher frequencies for better sampling resolution? We identify a speed-precision trade-off driven by noise, showing that theta (3–8 Hz) maximizes bits/s! Check it out 👇
1/ Super-excited to share our new work “Episodic and associative memory from spatial scaffolds in the hippocampus”, out in Nature today! nature.com/articles/s4158… FieteGroup Sugandha Sharma @ CVPR 2025 Rishidev Chaudhuri. Key insights and ideas 👇#tweeprint
Now published in Nature Neuroscience! Animals can quickly learn, and reconfigure, global relations from partial info (learn A>B, B>C, C>D, immediately know A>D). So far, no one found a neural model to explain all observed effects. So we asked the machine to find one for us!
