Congratulations to Lisa Giocomo, assistant professor of neurobiology and co-winner of #SfN18's Young Investigator Award for her novel insights into spatial perception. Read more about her research on grid cells: stanford.io/2DqBOmA


Newsflash: π¦Bats can swim π¦And are surprisingly good at it π¦Bats are capable of swimming in stressful situations if the need arises π¦Some species, such as those belonging to the genus Pteropus (flying foxes), have been known to brave the water to secure a meal #BatStroke

Created an animation of the Northern California #CampFire from start to current time. Data from NOAA/NASA GEOS-16 GeoColor database. Raw data: cdn.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES16/ABI/SECβ¦. Thoughts go out to all those affected by the fire. NOAA Satellites NASA NASA HQ PHOTO



1/4 Very excited to share our latest #neuroscience work with Will Butler and Kiah Hardcastle out in Science Magazine today! Remembered rewards restructure entorhinal spatial maps: science.sciencemag.org/content/363/64β¦

Great overview of dimensionality reduction techniques! This is just what I was looking for. Thanks Alex Williams youtube.com/watch?v=hmmnRFβ¦




In Campbell, Attinger et al. (Malcolm Campbell, Alex Attinger, Sam Ocko, Surya Ganguli), we consider the degree to which cortical regions that support navigation follow unique versus universal behaviorally-relevant coding principles. biorxiv.org/content/10.110β¦

I am very excited to share the main project from my graduate work with Lisa Giocomo that is out in Nature Neuroscience today! Hippocampal place cell remapping across environments might simply reflect the animal's best guess of the environment identity. This guess depends on experience.

New review lead by @MariRSosa in Nature Rev Neurosci! We consider how the brain's navigational centers might coordinate computations and predictions about reward nature.com/articles/s4158β¦

New paper on how ketamine impacts the neural circuits that support navigation! Congratulations to Kei Masuda and team (Yanjun Sun and Dr. Emily A. Aery Jones) for a fantastic study on a very novel topic for the lab! π§΅below! biorxiv.org/content/10.110β¦

This paper is now out at Nature Communications! nature.com/articles/s4146β¦ Thanks to helpful reviewer comments, we've added more analyses about the effects of ketamine on MEC since the preprint (1/2)

How ketamine impacts the navigation system - now out in Nature Communications! Congrats to Kei Masuda Dr. Emily A. Aery Jones and Yanjun Sun! Check it out below π

Excited to share that our paper on how ketamine disrupts neural spatial maps is now available online Nature Communications! Big thank you to Lisa Giocomo, Dr. Emily A. Aery Jones, and Yanjun Sun for all of their hard work on this. nature.com/articles/s4146β¦
