How can memories persist in the brain when their properties and supporting biological substrates change over time and experiences? Our latest work newly published in Science Magazine proposes that a balance between memory dynamics and persistence is achieved through the

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…

New work with Jack Lindsey, Larry Abbott, Dmitriy Aronov, and Selmaan Chettih! We propose a model of episodic memory where memories are bound to “barcode” activity patterns, enabling precise and flexible memory. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

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…👇

Why are some neurons more selective than others? We report now in nature how calcium permeable-AMPA receptors in PV neurons make them less selective to sensory features nature.com/articles/s4158… Long live the geniuses behind this🧠🔍juhyun.kim Thomas Hainmueller @rhuganir

📢 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

“Where was I again?” Our study published today nature.com/articles/s4158… reveals brain cells can form a coordinate system for our behaviours. Instead of locating where we are in the world, this coordinate system tells us “where we are” in a sequence of behaviours: 🧵below:

Huge congrats to Karyna M. 🇺🇦 for her paper published today in Science Magazine! She found that the hippocampus is really important for a key strategy we use to make decisions called hidden state inference! 🧪 🧠science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 1/7

New video is live! How does the brain select which experiences to remember, and which to forget? Turns out, specific patterns of hippocampal activity, called sharp-wave ripples, play an important role of "memory tags" 🧠 youtu.be/ceFFEmkxTLg?si… The video is based on an amazing
