New paper alert! 🚨

We found that the brain's compass is remarkably stable at two scales

1️⃣ the system maintains its internal organization for weeks
2️⃣ It "remembers" its orientation for weeks, even after a single visit

This may be key to how the brain aligns its other maps.

How the brain's 'memory replay' goes wrong in Alzheimer's disease
@ucl press release on @caswell.bsky.social lab new study:

How the brain's 'memory replay' goes wrong in Alzheimer's disease
Memory dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease may be linked to impairment in how the brain replays our recent experiences while we are resting, according to a new study in mice by UCL scientists.

Our new preprint is now live on bioRxiv: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

We established neuronal recordings in freely moving subterranean mammals, enabling functional studies of brains in extreme ecological niches. 🚀

Neuronal recordings in head-fixed and freely-moving mole-rats
Mole-rats are subterranean rodents that have evolved remarkable sensory adaptations to life in underground tunnel systems, yet their neural mechanisms remain largely unexplored. Here, we present a pro...

💥 Another excellent study from Clément Naveilhan & Stephen Ramanoel, pushing forward our understanding of how the retrosplenial complex (hashtag#RSC) supports spatial orienting during active movement through space.

Theta activity in the RSC anchors space to the body cardinal axes
Understanding human navigation in ecological, freely moving conditions requires uncovering how the brain anchors directional representations to the body’s orientation. Using high-density mobile electr...

Really excited to share this Opinion piece we've been working on with fellow head-direction cell geeks @apeyrache.bsky.social @desdemonafricker.bsky.social and (bsky-less?) Andrea Burgalossi! While head-direction cells pop up in many cortical regions, we think that one of them is quite unique (1/8)
The postsubiculum as a head-direction cortex
The organisation of thalamocortical networks follows a conserved structure. Traditionally, these are divided into primary sensory systems that receive…

Excellent work on the effects of unilateral vestibular lesion on the activity of head direction cells (nice recordings, powerful analyses and awesome reading) from the amazing @elma-nada.bsky.social

Using a semi-natural environment (in the absence of a natural one) in an experimental lab is a feat, and one with super exciting results. Congrats @elma-nada.bsky.social and @jeanlaurens.bsky.social team!
