finally (phew!) Ill be giving a talk alongside Mazen Kheirbek Ciocchi Stéphane and Sanja Mikulovic on Friday 28th at 3:45 in session S44: Diverse Functions of the Hippocampus: Circuit Elements and Computations along the Dorsoventral Axis

Excited about our symposium on dorsoventral hippocampal differences with Ciocchi Stéphane Mazen Kheirbek Andrew MacAskill this afternoon S44, Hall D, starting at 15:45 #FENS2024. We hope to see you there!

Really glad to have this work identifying the key role of PV-neurons in the ventral hippocampus in gating the anxiolytic actions of the serotonergic psychedelic, DOI, out in Neuron Tata Institute of Fundamental Research sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

For years, we have been interested in what exactly ventral CA1 encodes and what kinds of behaviors it can influence. This new preprint from Jeremy Biane and crew examined what kinds of information are (and are not) represented in the activity patterns of ventral CA1 neurons.

It's clear the system pushes scientists into high-quality but low-risk work. There are long-term implications: with generations of scientists trained and rewarded to cross t's and dot i's rather than do original work, we may be losing a culture of searching beyond the streetlight
