Event structure sculpts neural population dynamics in the lateral entorhinal cortex
Our experience of the world is a continuous stream of events that must be segmented and organized at multiple timescales. The neural mechanisms underlying this process remain unknown. In this work, we...

Your brain doesn’t just passively track time ⏳ - it structures it.
In @Science.org we show that activity in 🧠 memory circuits (LEC) drifts constantly, but makes sharp jumps at key moments, segmenting life into meaningful events. (1/2)

Functional independence of entorhinal grid cell modules enables remapping in hippocampal place cells
A systems-level understanding of cortical computation requires insight into how neural codes are transformed across distinct brain circuits. In the mammalian cortex, one of the few systems where such ...

Kudos to Minister Sigrun Aasland @kd.regjeringen.no for scrapping the language requirement for international PhD students and postdocs. I was interviewed by @nature.com about this decision that strengthens recruitment in a country where 75% of postdocs are from abroad. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Norway set to scrap mandatory language training for foreign postdocs and PhD students

This could be catastrophic. Consequences for US universities (and the world) may be beyond imagination.
1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.
I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.

Left–right-alternating theta sweeps in entorhinal–hippocampal maps of space - Nature
A study in rats proposes a mechanism for how the brain maps the surrounding environment, including places it has never seen, by alternating left and right forward sweeps in successive theta cycles.
