Long wondered how grid cell activity translates to the hexadirectional fMRI signal. Almog et al. have a neat answer — it's firing *variance* rather than mean rate. Makes sense when you think about it. Worth reading if you work on grid cells or fMRI. https://doi.org/10.64898/2026.03.04.709667

Beyond thrilled to share that I've been awarded an ERC Starting Grant to study the role of the human entorhinal cortex in episodic memory! 🎉🎉 🥳 🥳 🧠 🧠 Many thanks to my friends, colleagues and institutions who supported me along the way! @erc.europa.eu #ERCStG

To predict the behaviour of a primate, would you rather base your guess on a closely related species or one with a similar brain shape? We looked at brains & behaviours of 70 species, you’ll be surprised!
🧵Thread on our new preprint with @r3rt0.bsky.social , doi.org/10.1101/2025...
Awesome, congratulations!
Congratulations to both! Inspiring work

A big thank you to all those who have been so positive about my new book. It's about how neurological patients can tell us so much about our selves, how personal and social identities are forged by different cognitive functions, and what it means to belong.
Congratulations !!
Europe as “a haven” for US researcher - The EU’s research funding bodies are thinking of ways to welcome US scientists and European ex-patriots who might be looking for a more sympathetic place to work now that Donald Trump is in the White House

Look!
Tusen takk May-Britt 🙏😊
Ricardo Insausti, a Giant in medial temporal lobe anatomy, has passed. Classical neuroanatomy is fading just as it becomes crucial for understanding brain circuits and symptoms. Grateful to Menno Witter and @hipposubfields.bsky.social for having interacted with him.

Super deserving of his award, @andreashorn.org identified specific tracts for specific diseases and even specific symptoms -> patient improvements in mx independent cohorts.
Showed a glimpse of a new atlas that we're building in Paris yesterday. Pretty excited about it and implications for network modeling.
Thanks @fof.se for highlighting our research! 🙌 Using 7T MRI, Tobias Navarro-Schroeder (@kavlintnu.bsky.social) & I study #TransientGlobalAmnesia as a model for reversible #hippocampal inactivation & #memoryloss across disorders. #Transdiagnostic approach is 🔑 to study circuit-symptom relationships!
🚀 We’re hiring a PhD Candidate!
Join CBS (www.ntnu.edu/inb/cbs) to work with a multidisciplinary team using #7TMRI, #sEEG, and #MachineLearning in patients with #epilepsy.
📍 Trondheim, Norway.
📆 Deadline: March 18, 2025.

Finally pulled off a great X-cape from the algorithmic abyss - now enjoying clearer skies here! Excited to (re)connect with fellow clinicians and researchers. 🙌
