Looking for a way to make sense of your pose estimation data? VAME is a nice #opensource package for estimating behavioral motifs. VAME was developed by Kevin Luxem (@kvnlxm) and colleagues and works with pose data from DeepLabCut 🦄. Check it out: edspace.american.edu/openbehavior/p…

3 👌 posters in the #FENS2022 AM poster session 👀: ✨ S01-014 Benay Baskurt on cholinergic auditory thalamus regulation in learning ✨ S01-023 James Taylor on threat prediction in the auditory thalamus ✨ S01-355 Yuki Sakai on linking temporally proximal memories

Happy to be a part of this work, where we developed a behavioural task for mice to characterize spatially selective cells during path integration. We show how neurons with object-anchored firing fields contribute to navigation. Check it out! Maryam Najafian Kevin Allen

Happy to share the manuscript from my PhD. We developed a new paradigm to study spatially selective cells in mice during homing behaviour based on path integration. Checkout Kevin Allen recent tweets for more details.

Ever wondered how animals sleep? Sleep experts Niels Rattenborg and Gianina Ungurean have published a great summary about the evolution and diversification of sleep in the animal kingdom.
