I’m very excited to share our new paper, led by the very talented Jack Bowler, a postdoc in the lab! www.nature.com/articles/s41... We all know that the way we learn something matters. But how does a training curriculum actually shape how the brain learns to solve a problem? a 🧵 1/N

Structured experience shapes strategy learning and neural dynamics in the medial entorhinal cortex - Nature Neuroscience

The authors use recurrent neural networks to predict how structured prior experience shapes neural dynamics as mice learn flexible timing strategies during complex context-dependent behavior.

Neuroscientists have long wondered exactly how brain activity relates to blood flow. A new paper from the Simons Collaboration on the Global Brain suggests the answer lies in a hidden balance between two opposing groups of neurons. Read more: https://bit.ly/3QX90to #science #neuroscience

Our work on goal-directed theta sweeps is out! We found two different types of theta sweeps in the rat hippocampus. During random foraging, left-right alternating sweeps dominated (Vollan, 25). However, during memory-guided navigation sweeps pointing to hidden goal locations emerged with learning.
