I advise any master student wishing to enroll in a PhD program to apply! Deadline approaching soon - don't miss out

Re-posting is appreciated: We have a fully funded PhD position in CMC lab @cmc-lab.bsky.social (at @tudresden_de). You can use forms.gle/qiAv5NZ871kv... to send your application and find more information. Deadline is April 30. Find more about CMC lab: cmclab.org and email me if you have questions.

Any good reference out here for lick rate predictive models?

Happy head direction cell day y’all!

On this day, 41 years ago, Jim Ranck recorded the first “HD cell” in his Brooklyn lab in 1984.

Jim shared the news with the world at SFN that year, showing a video of the cell’s firing on a TV he somehow acquired and brought to his poster… (1/3)

How did they decorrelate micro pollution from noise? Many studies show that exposure to fine particles PM2.5 is extremely detrimental to cardiac health, and areas at proximity to airport are typically above health threshold for those same particles.

Questions/feedback? DM me!
(PS: On the job market—let’s connect!)

We find:
1. the reward place cells follow the reward on a trial-by-trial basis
2. regular change in reward location induces a higher reward place cell population and
3. regularity is represented in hippocampal networks via warped metrics that link salient events.

Our study reveals how place cell calcium activity responds when the reward location changes suddenly and compares groups of mice trained to different degrees of predictability of the reward.

Navigating uncertainty: reward location variability induces reorganization of hippocampal spatial representations Navigating uncertainty is crucial for survival, with the location and availability of reward varying in different and unsignalled ways. Hippocampal place cell populations over-represent salient locati...

Curious how place cells adapt to uncertainty in reward location? We found that predictable changes boost “reward place cells” & warp hippocampal maps. Check out our new preprint: with Feng Xuan, Jack Mellor, Peter Dayan and Dan Dombeck: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
