TOMORROW, 8/22! How does hippocampus (HPC) represent task-related stimuli across diff environments, given that HPC cells exhibit place-specific activity that changes across contexts (remapping)? FIND OUT as @Mr_Beto_Corona & @gabs_zb welcome Dr. Hannah Wirtshafter to #MSNseminars

Interesting experiments! Navigating uncertainty: reward location variability induces reorganization of hippocampal spatial representations
biorxiv.org
Navigating uncertainty is crucial for survival, with the location and availability of reward varying in different and unsignalled ways. Hippocampal place cell populations over-represent salient...

📣 As promised, here is our protocol paper on chemotagging! This new technique combines calcium imaging with chemogenetics to identify cell types in commonly used Miniscope recordings & can be used to tag ANY CELL TYPE! Read about the technique here: https://t.co/pffx0gosq6

Excited to share that our paper is published in @Nature today! This incredible work was led by the amazing @IpshitaZ, one of the most inspiring neuroscientists I met during grad school. She has taught me so much about the pure love for science as well as the strength and

Kariko's publishing record is not, IN ANY WAY, a rebuke of our impact-obsessed publishing system. Only in the HHMI Comic Universe are these Kariko papers low impact. In the real world this is a high prestige, difficult to achieve publishing record. And you can see if you read
Reminder that our obsession with journal names as a lazy proxy for "impact" is new. Here are the key papers that led to the mRNA vaccine @NobelPrize for Karikó and Weissman Karikó et al. Immunity 23, 165–175 (2005) Karikó et al. Mol Ther 16, 1833–1840 (2008) Anderson et al.

@leslievosshall @NobelPrize Not sure these are great examples (as pointed out by others too). Immunity has an IF in the 30s/40s and the others are in the 10-20 range! I agree with the sentiment of the tweet, but treating everything below CNS as low impact is also part of the problem...

How does the brain solve the problem of consolidating new information without interference with prior knowledge? In our recent paper we propose that sleep microstructure and hippocampal replay may offer a solution. Check this thread from first author and super start @hongyu_chang
SEEING THROUGH YOUR EYES 👁️: Excited to share our new paper (which is out now!!) with Wenbo Tang, @annabellaWulf, @ThokozileNyasu, @Madisonewolf, @antferrui @azayhara : we discovered a novel sleep microstructure that promotes memory replay! https://t.co/OuU5knRzwj 🧵 1/12👇
