Activity in the M2 predicts upcoming choices. But what does the activity represent? A gaze-centered plan? A world-centered goal? A specific movement? We asked rats to plan responses to different targets from different start position to find out! 1/5 jneurosci.org/content/44/37/…

We are thrilled to release a new preprint on reinfections today! This paper details the impact of COVID-19 reinfections on both people with and without #LongCovid. Overall, the odds of Long COVID increase with reinfections. researchsquare.com/article/rs-490… 1/

Temporal structure of experience etched on firing of human hippocampal-entorhinal neurons to serve memory & prediction. See our study nature at UCLA Neurosurgery 🧠, great work by lead author Pawel Tacikowski with Guldamla Kalender & Davide Ciliberti support NINDS. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Our mechanistic review of #LongCovid - published in Cell - hopefully will be helpful coming out of the very inspiring RECOVER-Treating Long COVID meeting this week. Excited for the progress we will make together in the next year! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Hippocampus generates an internal model of Euclidean space. We ventured in a spatial odyssey exploring how much of the internal model is a priori, innate (Nature) and what is contributed by postnatal experience of Euclidean geometry (Nurture) Our answer@ nature.com/articles/s4146…👇

Finishing your PhD and interested in the Physics of Life? This is a reminder that we have several different postdoctoral opportunities. We coordinate, but best to apply to all that seem relevant. Please consider joining our lively and interactive community. Deadlines soon!

Thrilled to share the first preprint from the lab! We find that mouse V1 contains a three-dimensional map of visual space with different populations of neurons responding to near and far visual cues! Led by Yiran He with Antonio Colás Nieto and Antonin Blot. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/n

The Ruediger Lab at UCL is expanding, with a postdoc position available, & my colleague Dan Bendor at the IBN also has an exciting role opening up. Passionate about in vivo Ephys/2p-Imaging, mouse behavior & circuit interactions? Happy to chat about opportunities at SfN!

We are ever more closer to an Iranian-Israeli war which will be an unmitigated disaster, will lead to more innocent people dying and will likely not make any of us any safer. It can still be stopped. It must still be stopped.

“Where was I again?” Our study published today nature.com/articles/s4158… reveals brain cells can form a coordinate system for our behaviours. Instead of locating where we are in the world, this coordinate system tells us “where we are” in a sequence of behaviours: 🧵below:

Are you a clinical psychologist interested in computational modeling? The Niv lab will be looking for a postdoc in computational psychiatry/psychotherapy and we are especially keen on people with a clinical background. Email me with CV & research statement if this is you!

Huge congrats to Karyna M. 🇺🇦 for her paper published today in Science Magazine! She found that the hippocampus is really important for a key strategy we use to make decisions called hidden state inference! 🧪 🧠science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 1/7
