La navigation spatiale repose sur ce que ressent le corps en mouvement et sur les repères visuels de l’environnement. Une nouvelle étude identifie le moment où ces deux cartes mentales s’alignent. Ce recalibrage apparaît dans le cerveau sous forme d’oscillations thêta.

Turning corners in built environments shifts spatial attention costs Human attention is typically studied under static laboratory conditions, yet everyday cognition unfolds during active interactions with the built envi…

🚀 New paper! We just took a major step in understanding how architecture shapes cognition.

Our paper shows that something as simple as corners in rooms or corridors can shift canonical spatial attention cueing costs.

Key method? Mobile Brain/Body Imaging combined with VR!

🧵 New paper out🚨🧠! Information about motion is key to vision. Head motion signals from the vestibular system robustly modulate visual cortex activity. Despite this profound modulation, we still don’t know how these signals reach visual cortex - or even what aspects of head motion are transmitted.

The postsubiculum as a head-direction cortex The organisation of thalamocortical networks follows a conserved structure. Traditionally, these are divided into primary sensory systems that receive…

Really excited to share this Opinion piece we've been working on with fellow head-direction cell geeks @apeyrache.bsky.social @desdemonafricker.bsky.social and (bsky-less?) Andrea Burgalossi! While head-direction cells pop up in many cortical regions, we think that one of them is quite unique (1/8)

Theta activity supports landmark-based correction of naturalistic human path integration How do humans integrate landmarks to update their spatial position during active navigation? Using immersive virtual reality and high-density mobile EEG, we investigated the neural underpinnings of la...

We showed dual role of theta oscillations in the Retrosplenial Complex, flexibly integrating multimodal signals
1) supporting the recalibration of spatial representations to external cues
2) encoding self-motion information during naturalistic human navigation.

How the brain combines spatial information from external landmarks and self-motion cues during freely moving spatial navigation task?

A very inspiring collaboration with @mobilebrainimaging.bsky.social and @clementnaveilhan.bsky.social using #MobileEEG

Have you ever walked out of a tram station, started walking, and upon seeing your favorite French bakery suddenly realized you were going the wrong way, as if your entire spatial representation abruptly reoriented itself in the opposite direction?
We tested this ! (just had to replace the bakery...)

Layer-specific changes in sensory cortex across the lifespan in mice and humans

New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by Jaeseob Lim, Sang Ah Lee, et al:

Canonical cortico-hippocampal dynamics underlie memory of navigational episodes and its early decline in aging

doi.org/10.1162/IMAG...

Thanks to all (co)authors & reviewers for their contribution to this study on #layer specific changes in #sensory #cortex across the #lifespan in #humans & #mice now out in @natneuro.nature.com Here is a short summary of our findings 1/6

Neuronal theta-phase locking increased during periods of elevated theta power, when aperiodic activity exhibited steeper slopes, and when clear theta oscillations were detected. Theta-phase locking was similarly strong during the successful and unsuccessful encoding and retrieval of memories. Some neurons changed their preferred theta phases between encoding and retrieval.

Excited to share our new paper on theta-phase locking of single neurons during human spatial memory:

A paradigm to study the learning of muscle activity patterns outside of the natural repertoire | Journal of Neurophysiology | American Physiological Society The acquisition of novel muscle activity patterns is a key aspect of motor skill learning, which can be seen, for example, when beginner musicians learn new guitar or piano chords. To study this proce...

Congrats to @alighavampour.bsky.social and @mnlmrc.bsky.social for developing a new paradigm for hand synergy learning. If you are looking for a motor skill task that seems impossibly difficult and really needs to learning to be mastered, here it is:
journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10....

Our new paper is out! When navigating through an environment, how do we combine our general sense of direction with known landmark states? To explore this, @denislan.bsky.social used a task that allowed subjects (or neural networks) to choose either their next action or next state at each step.
