Congratulations, Weijian @weijianzong.bsky.social @kavlintnu.bsky.social ! So well deserved 🎉🤩🍀💐 so proud of you!
Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience@kavlintnu.bsky.social · 4w agoCongratulations to @weijianzong.bsky.social, our Neurophotonics group leader and a new 2026 #FENSKavliScholar. He builds the #Mini2P microscopes that let us watch the living brain at work. @fens.org @kavlifoundation.org @alleninstitute.org @ntnudiscovery.bsky.social @fkne-scholars.bsky.social
Jo Carpenter@jocarpenter.bsky.social · 4w agoThe Moser Group is presenting our work on Wednesday afternoon at #FENS2026! •Mechanism for L-R sweeps •Attention modulation of sweeps •Grid/place remapping rules & dynamics •”Mega torus” as a hi-capacity memory space •Moving the grid bump •Development of tori & rings •RSC/HC pops. in a spatial task
A fundamental discovery ! Immanuel Kant would have loved it.
Edvard I Moser@edvardmoser.bsky.social · 5mo agoIs spatial navigation innate 🧠? Using #NeuroPixels we show that the #torus 🍩 underlying the #GridCell map exists already on day 10 in rats — before pups open eyes and ears and before they start upright walking. 🧵1:4 👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Greetings from Ukraine, where russia blatantly demonstrates every single day how badly they want peace. The American negotiators don't want to see anything a bit beyond what the Kremlin is feeding to them. Europe's security fully depends on Ukraine's ability to win.
Thanks, Caswell! Yes, super exciting!!!!!! @kavlintnu.bsky.social
Caswell Barry@caswell.bsky.social · 5mo agoBig news from @edvardmoser.bsky.social and @m-bmoser.bsky.social — the grid cell toroidal manifold, like the HD ring, is preconfigured before experience. Guardamagna et al. show it’s there at P10, before eye opening, before locomotion. The spatial map exists before the animal has ever navigated.

Matteo Guardamagna@matteoguardamagna.bsky.social · 5mo ago1/7 🧠 My journey into development begins with this work and question: how does the brain's spatial navigation system develop? We found that the neural networks for spatial navigation (tori and rings) are preconfigured and only later anchor gradually to the world with experience! 🧵

Caswell Barry@caswell.bsky.social · 5mo agoFinally getting on top of new papers and god there are so many good ones. This from Lykken, Kanter, @edvardmoser.bsky.social & @m-bmoser.bsky.social is brilliant. Neuropixels showing differential phase shifts across grid modules drive place cell remapping. Elegant grid-to-place transformation story.

Edvard I Moser@edvardmoser.bsky.social · 6mo agoA half-century old question may have its final answer. Using high-resolution #Mini2P microscopes, we find no evidence of local topography in #PlaceCells.
