@chrastil @alinatu0 and team - congratulations! What a fantastic paper, wonderfully done! This is precisely the kind of work we need to move the field forward on this question and presented so carefully and thoughtfully! I love it! A few thoughts --
🚨 new paper alert! Does hippocampal volume relate to navigation abilities? What about hippocampal subfields? @alinatu0 addressed this question that has been perplexing the navigation community. The short answer: yes, but it's complicated. 🧵 1/6 sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

thank you @manuellayassa for creating this space to build community 😌 – at Irvine, CA
On Thursdays, I get to fill the @ucicnlm kitchen with these incredible scholars who are dedicating their careers to understanding the brain and curing neurological disorders. How did I get so lucky? 🥯☕️🧠🫶

A few years ago I was in a position to do something unique in neuroscience. I had been working with the phenomenal @emilyjacobs on menopause and inspired by @laura_pritschet's menstrual study, and I was planning a pregnancy. What if we scanned my brain?? nature.com/articles/s41593-0…

Turns out #iNAV2024 was exactly what I needed to get myself out of my research slump. Feeling motivated & inspired about my work for the first time in months! So thankful to everyone who let me rant about my mad scientist theories! So happy to be a part of the @chrastil lab.

Day 2 of #iNAV2024 ended with a thought-provoking discussion, an awesome poster session, and of course some pizza and tiramisu with friends! "how is navigation defined?" kept me up at night 😂😂

we can only go up from here 🤞🏼
After 3 flights, 2 delays, a 4 hr shuttle ride, a car accident, 24 hrs of travel, and less than 4 hrs of sleep, I have finally made it to #INAV2024. I didn’t even lose my poster. Just my sanity
