Enjoyed seeing everyone at the Spring Hippocampus meeting! Including ⁦@LomiEleonora⁩ @colinlever @neilburgess10 ⁦@Poacher1⁩

Nachum Ulanovsky just published a book @mitpress!I’ve enjoyed seeing Nachum’s talks about his innovative research at the recent Cosyne meeting and at last years iNav meeting! His book is called: Natural Neuroscience

Yesterday our own Prof. Kamal Sen gave a great talk on “Cortical Circuits Underlying Complex Scene Analysis.” The seminar was jointly organized by @buCSNneuro and @BU_NPC. Thanks to Prof. David Boas (@BoasDavid) for hosting!

Enjoyed the Cosyne workshop on 20 years of grid cells! Many thanks to Dori ⁦@derdikman⁩ with ⁦⁦@EdvardMoser⁩ ⁦@NeilBurgess10⁩ ⁦@eabuffalo⁩ ⁦@markbrandonlab⁩ ⁦@FieteGroup⁩ ⁦@yoramburak⁩

RT @zilong_ji: Excited to share our latest paper: “Phase Precession Relative to Turning Angle in Theta-Modulated Head Direction Cells” toge….

In yesterday’s @buCSNneuro seminar, @Stefan_Mihalas from the @AllenInstitute discussed “Computing with complex components: How heterogenous, nonstationery and noisy neurons and synapses contribute to the brain's computational power.” Thanks Emily Stephen (@emilyps14) for hosting!

In today’s @buCSNneuro seminar, Prof. @MarkChurchland from Columbia U. gave a great talk titled “It contains multitudes? Motor cortex activity accords with modern conceptions of network computation.” Thanks to both Brian DePasquale and @MikeEconomo for hosting!

@patrick_lachanc @zilong_ji @azvollan @EdvardMoser The data on alternating theta sweeps in the @azvollan paper builds on our earlier paper with @markbrandonLab showing that head direction cells in entorhinal cortex show spiking on alternating theta cycles:

@patrick_lachanc @zilong_ji @azvollan @EdvardMoser These important recent papers unify extensive previous work, including our 2012 paper proposing forward trajectory planning by entorhinal grid cells. Grid cells can scan paths through previously unvisited locations to find goals and avoid barriers:

Just published a commentary with @JennCRobinson & @patrick_lachanc about modeling by @zilong_ji of exciting data from @azvollan and @EdvardMoser. Proposes that alternating theta sweeps shown in entorhinal cortex can scan future paths to guide navigation.

Enjoyed my visit for a talk at Florida State University! Many thanks to host Prof. Carmen Varela and Prof. Aaron Wilber

I am pleased to announce the publication of our special issue on scientific histories of hippocampal research in the journal Hippocampus! This special issue contains articles by many influential contributors to our field.

In today’s @buCSNneuro and Brain, Behavior and Cognition seminar, Prof. Caroline Robertson (@RobertsonNeuro) from @Dartmouth how memory shapes perception in the human brain and behavior, focusing on the process of naturalistic scene understanding. Thanks Sam Ling for hosting.

Great talk from our own Prof. Matthias Stangl (@MatStangl) on “The Cognitive Neuroscience of Spatial Navigation and Memory: From the Laboratory into the Real World,” in today’s seminar organized by @buCSNneuro and Brain, Behavior & Cognition. Thanks Prof. Sam Ling for hosting!

Prof. Josh Jacobs (@neurojosh) from Columbia University gave an interesting talk on “Direct recordings of human place cells, grid cells, and traveling waves reveal mechanisms of episodic memory” in today's CSN seminar. Thanks Prof. @MatStangl for hosting!
