Just published a commentary with @JennCRobinson & @patrick_lachanc about modeling by @zilong_ji of exciting data from @azvollan and @EdvardMoser. Proposes that alternating theta sweeps shown in entorhinal cortex can scan future paths to guide navigation. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Happy to share my first paper with @HasselmoMichael, "Distinct codes for environment structure and symmetry in postrhinal and retrosplenial cortices" nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

We are excited to announce our lab's debut publication in Neuron @NeuroCellPress.
Egocentric processing of items in spines, dendrites, and somas in the retrosplenial cortex: Neuron cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S08…

New article out our from our lab on Angular Head Velocity cells in brainstem areas that project into the head direction circuit. doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.05…
Also congratulations to Patrick LaChance for winning this year's SFN's Lindsley Prize for best thesis in behavioral neurosci.

TLDR; We only found *two* neurons in our CA1 dataset that are egocentric-modulated 👀
My first @biorxivpreprint (and the first part of my PhD work) is live!

#JNeurosci: @YanboLian @SimonWFlinders @_AndyAlexander @HasselmoMichael & Burkitt @UniMelb show that a learning model taking visual input as an animal explores the environment can generate diverse egocentric boundary cells consistent with experimental data

Happy to share my latest with @TaubeLab. We used boundary manipulations to probe which aspects of environmental geometry drive egocentric tuning in postrhinal cortex (local vs. global, boundary opaqueness, etc.) cell.com/current-biology/ful…
If you are interested, some of the concepts in this article are also discussed in our recent modeling paper on transforming egocentric inputs into goal-directed behavior onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Very happy to announce a new paper (led by @neurognome) out today in @NatureComms on how mice use visual inputs to orient themselves in their spatial environment: nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Very excited about this new manuscript on how RSC neurons contribute to registering heading to visual cues (led by @kevinksit). We'll post a full 🧵 once it's through review, but check out the preprint if you're interested in how mammals orient themselves in their environment:
