*Very* excited to see the last study of my PhD making the cover of Science Magazine on the macaques of Caribbean Primate Research Center. We show that ecological disturbances can alter selective pressures on social ties leading to persistent societal changes. shorturl.at/i2WIB 🧵👇
Happy to share the latest version of our work on compositional cognitive maps in hippocampus, with Jo Warren, @jrcwhittington, Tim Behrens. We propose hippocampus constructs maps from cortical building blocks in replay – now with empirical support! nature.com/articles/s4159… 1/9
Finally out! We used a translational approach to reveal a conserved role of the superior colliculus–ventral tegmental area pathway in social orienting deficits across species. Marie Schaer Alessandro Contestabile Nada Kojovic nature.com/articles/s4138…
Mice dorsal cortex hosts overlapping visual and tactile sensory maps, forming an abstract representation of peripersonal space that enables spontaneous generalization of spatial task rules. Co-led this study with Maëlle Guyoton in Sami El-Boustani! More details down here... 🧠👇
Very excited to share our Nature Communications paper, the core of my PhD thesis! 🧠🐭 We show that mice can generalize spatial rules across vision and touch via a shared cortical map. Co-led with my great colleague Giulio Matteucci in the Sami El-Boustani. See below for more details ⬇️
Now hiring: capable post-doc wanting to dig into the behavioral & cortical algorithms of predictive pursuit. 4-yr position Kavli Neuroscience in Trondheim!
