Happy to share my first paper with Michael Hasselmo, "Distinct codes for environment structure and symmetry in postrhinal and retrosplenial cortices" nature.com/articles/s4146…

Successor representations (SR) is often cited as a model of hippocampus. I often get qns about SR, often attributing it properties it doesn't have. Here I collate my misgivings about SR, arguing why it can't be a model of place cell learning. 1/ blog.dileeplearning.com/p/a-critique-o…

How a crying baby is similar to denoising an ephys rig: 1) There's noise and you don't know why 2) You need to stay grounded 3) You have superstitious beliefs about what actions stop the noise 4) These actions work sometimes but not always 5) The noise can randomly start again

A few postdocs asked me to read over their job applications. Here’s a few bits of advice: 🧵 /10 1. If any advice doesn’t ring true for you, discard it (including this!) 2. People on the search committee are keen to welcome a colleague, they aren’t looking to take you down

Dopamine flooded my brain's pleasure center while Vijay Vijay Mohan K Namboodiri and Ali Ali Mohebi told me how it's out with the old and in with the new dopamine stories. braininspired.co/podcast/194/ If you prefer reading, check out Vijay's article in The Transmitter: thetransmitter.org/dopamine/dopam…

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…👇

📢 Our newest preprint is up—just in time for SfN! Come by the nano Tues am N228 for the 10 min version, or see 🧵 The unexpected punchline: when a chickadee looks at a place from a distance, the SAME place codes activate as if it were actually there 👁️ t.ly/wr5_J

Wow. Hopfield model and Boltzmann machine.

Our new paper in nature shows that entorhinal grid cells adapt their representations to a new environment in one-shot and we derive a model that fuses landmarks & motion to *predict* the detailed grid rep *before* the mouse enters the new environment! nature.com/articles/s4158…

✨🥰 check out our article - and cover 🤩- about Decoding the Brain in Cell cell.com/cell/fulltext/… We review the mathematics, current approaches, and muse about the future… #BCI #neuraldecoding #neuroAI Thanks to my awesome co-authors Adriana Perez Rotondo,

When we anticipate the future, the brain shows graded representations of the future & past. The scale of these representations increases systematically from lower- to higher-order regions. Proud of this work by Hannah Tarder-Stoll, a collab w/ Chris Baldassano! nature.com/articles/s4146…

🌟 Cai Lab nature paper alert! In new work led by Joe Zaki, we find that rest periods after learning not only stabilize new memories BUT ALSO integrate new memories with older ones from days past! (1/9) Read it here: nature.com/articles/s4158…
