Is 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...

📢 New paper out in Neurobiology of Language! Using MEG, we found that the brain's responses to full sentences are strikingly similar to those elicited by single words. Our results suggest a "global-to-sequential" process: first a snapshot of structure, then left-to-right composition.

A Unified Neural Time Course for Words, Phrases, and Sentences: MEG Evidence from Parallel Presentation

Abstract. Recent behavioral and neural research on reading shows that humans can extract syntactic structure from short sentences within a fraction of a second—faster than many estimates for recognizi...
