See here for our paper: www.cell.com/current-biol.... It is a great pleasure to work on this model with Tianhao, Si Wu and @neilburgess10.bsky.social. Also, I highly recommend to first read the experimental paper by @azvollan.bsky.social and colleagues: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
A systems model of alternating theta sweeps via firing rate adaptation
Ji, Chu et al. present a network model of direction and grid cells, which generates an internal direction signal comprised of alternating left-right sweeps of encoded location and direction, based on ...

Amazing!🤩 Fascinating to see how completely different systems converge on left-right-alternation 🐜🐭🦇

Massive thanks to my supervisors @m-bmoser.bsky.social and @edvardmoser.bsky.social and coauthor @rjgardner.bsky.social for an incredible collaboration over many years! Thanks also to the technicians and lab members @kavlintnu.bsky.social and everyone else who contributed along the way (incl. 🐭!)
