Pretending to be a behavior/systems neuroscientist

Everyone knows dorsal and ventral hippocampus do different things. But how do neurons in these regions differ in function — and how are their contributions integrated? We tackled this with @noehamou.bsky.social and Sid Wiener in a paper just out in @pnas.org 👇🧵 1/12 www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Cell assemblies are drawing increasing attention in neuroscience, but one could argue that they are just an epiphenomenon. Is the activity of cell assemblies relevant for the brain? The short answer is yes. The long answer is in our paper, now online at PLOS Biology. 🧵👇 1/10 doi.org/10.1371/jour...

Adaptive communication between cell assemblies and “reader” neurons shapes flexible brain dynamics

Cell assemblies have been proposed as key units of brain activity, underlying diverse functions, but their basic features are not well understood. This study shows that interactions between cell assem...
