The New York Times piece today about US science is terrible and wrong—in many ways.
I could write a whole article about this, but as one example:
“To close observers, the original crisis began well before any of this…”
No. I’m a close observer of science, and this is incorrect.

I know there are data repositories like Dandi for ephys, but are there known repositories for behavioral studies? Like where people put trial-wise behavior for individual subjects?

It feels like NWB was really just taking off in terms of data reuse — efforts like these take time and investment.

Hippocampal representations drift in stable multisensory environments - Nature
Tracking of individual place cells in mouse CA1 shows that representational drift is not influenced by changes in environment or behaviour, and is lower for more excitable place cells.

Super cool results, and another evidence that theta sweeps are more about (sequential 😉) prediction following behavior, which happens to be rhythmic in the rodent.
Our study is out in Nature!
Using wireless Neuropixels we recorded hippocampal activity in freely flying bats and uncovered replay and theta(less) sweeps, revealing striking differences from classic rodent models.
