Research in visual and spatial systems has been dominant in systems neuroscience. We are in exciting times of studying these systems together and undersanding how they interact. Thrilled to share this review on interactions between the systems nature.com/articles/s4158……

🔮Ever wished you could just say what behavioral analysis you wanted? ... "Plot the animal's trajectory" "Count the head hips in the open arm" 👀🪄we present AmadeusGPT🎻 to do this ... 🗞Shaokai Ye Jessy Lauer Zhou Mu @trackingplumes and me  arxiv.org/abs/2307.04858 🧵⬇️

Check out our latest preprint on ocular dominance columns, which we have found in mouse visual cortex!biorxiv.org/content/10.110… David Laubender Tobias Bonhoeffer Mark Hübener MPI for Biological Intelligence #bioRxiv

Great opportunity!

Great new study from Yartsev Lab. Congrats Angelo! nature.com/articles/s4158…

CAI LAB PREPRINT🧠! In a team effort led by Joe Zaki, we found that rest periods after learning not only stabilize new memories BUT ALSO integrate new memories with older memories from days past! 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our new paper led by John Wen & Ben Sorscher w/ Lisa Giocomo revealing how grid cells fuse landmarks & self-motion to create maps of new environments in a *single* exposure; our model predicts the detailed map of a new env *before* the mouse enters it! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We just posted a preprint about a new approach to efficiently mapping synaptic connectivity in mouse visual cortex in vivo. Any feedback is much appreciated!

New paper from the lab! We described how hippocampal assembly co-activity and temporally-compressed sequences are complementary codes that support associative and predictive aspects of memory:science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… With amzng canliu, Ralitsa Todorova, Wenbo Tang and @azayhara

My opinion article for Trends in Neurosciences is online now: The locus coeruleus as a global model failure system. cell.com/trends/neurosc…

New paper from the lab 🥳 Nature Neuroscience The 'internal compass' can do more than tracking head-direction (HD) 👉 thalamic HD cells respond to sensory stimuli and are modulated by behavioral state (e.g. during social interactions) nature.com/articles/s4159…

Online symposium on neuronal ensembles on May 2nd, co-organized with Emre Yaksi Emre Yaksi NTNU and Rosa Cossart INMED. Great speakers! Registration open and free ntc.columbia.edu/ensembles2024/

The rossilab.iit.it is hiring a post-doc at IIT! Join us to investigate the circuit mechanisms of adaptive visual behaviour with cutting-edge 2P-imaging, ephys, tracing, and optogen! +Live at the footstep of gorgeous lakes and Dolomites Job Ad:t.ly/sUkdx

📢𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝘂𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲! We are seeking a lab tech/manager to help us keep the show on the road and do cool science for the next 6 years Must love: 🔬🐭🧠👩🏿‍🔬🔧📜 Reach out for informal questions, and apply by April 30 gallianolab.org/join-us/

I am delighted to see this published. Many years in the making and only possible thanks to the unwavering determination of Ana González Rueda. Thanks to all lab members and collaborators involved!

New preprint post! We show that motor commands in the superior colliculus shift the internal representation of heading during REM sleep despite the immobility of sleeping mice. Thus, the brain simulates actions and their consequences during REM sleep.🧵1/7 doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

Excited to share our new results! We (huge team effort led by post-doc extraordinaire Sylvie Lesuis) examined the effects of acute stress on threat memory generalization and engram ensemble architecture. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

This was a very challenging review to write, but was also a lot of fun due to working with thoughtful co-authors Dylan Martins (Dylan Martins), Joy Manda, and Phil Parker (Phil Parker).

1/12 How do animals build an internal map of the world? In our new paper, we tracked thousands of neurons in mouse CA1 over days/weeks as they learned a VR navigation task. Nelson Spruston HHMI | Janelia, w/ co-1st author Johan Winnubst Video summary: youtube.com/watch?v=yw_4uV… Paper:

Congrats Angelo Forli and Michael Yartsev, very cool work! nature.com/articles/s4158…
