How to transform UMAP from a black box into a glass box: by using a special type of deep network, we can now compute exact linear equivalents that reveal which features drive each point's position in the embedding. @ArcadiaScience [1/8]

The hippocampus is one of the most studied brain areas because of its major role in fundamental brain functions including learning, memory, and spatial navigation. In a new #ScienceReview, researchers focus on the role of overlooked areas and circuits within the hippocampus.

Teamed up again with @SolteszLab to write about outside-the-box topics in the hippocampus - out now in @ScienceMagazine. Ever heard of the fasciola cinereum? Maybe you know about ripples, but not dentate spikes. We dive into these and other cool topics
