How does the hippocampus moderate reactivation following learning? We identified a hippocampal circuit mechanism which seems to play this role- and it’s driven by CA2! Check below for a summary of our recent results from this week's @ScienceMagazine science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… 1/

A hippocampal circuit mechanism to balance memory reactivation during sleep

Memory consolidation involves the synchronous reactivation of hippocampal cells active during recent experience in sleep sharp-wave ripples (SWRs). How this increase in firing rates and synchrony...

My last work of my PhD is today out at @CommsBio! 🥳😍 @adrubio1999 @LMPrida & me built a ML toolbox for #SWRs detection, ready to be applied/re-trained for your own data! We intuitively analyse how different ML algorithms work & show that can be applied to different species!⬇️🧵

I'm SUPER happy to present a new @biorxivpreprint, very dear to me for all the fun work behind! 😊💫 Teaming with @adrubio1999, @LMPrida & @perpl_lab lab, we analyse & compare multiple ML architectures for SWR detection in🐭&🐵! ⚙️github.com/PridaLab/rippl-AI ➡️biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

🚨New paper from the lab!🚨 Since Hebb, we know that precise sequences of neuronal firing must be the backbone of computation in the brain. For long, we’ve believed it must be related to connectivity, right? And what if it was not (entirely)? Preprint👇 xitter.cf/biorxiv_neursci/status…

It's an unspoken fact that freely moving lab mice are not really freely moving. We came up with a method to change this. See the preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… (1/3)

If you're as interested in ensemble dynamics as I am, be sure to check out @azayhara's review of ensembles in social memory: doi.org/10.1016/j.conb.2022.…. Coincidentally, our reviews are back-to-back in the journal volume!

Major update on our "dual" feature encoding by excitatory and inhibitory cortical cells, now including simulations and super cool theoretical work by @PierreOrhan. And again, kudos to @AdrianDu_ for all the hard work! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Reciprocal feature encoding by cortical excitatory and inhibitory neurons

In the cortex, the interplay between excitation and inhibition determines the fidelity of neuronal representations. However, while the receptive fields of excitatory neurons are often fine-tuned to...

New perspective paper, in which I suggest that sleep replay is part of a process that train encoders/decoders between the cortex and the hippocampus, queried by low-level inputs. Stay tuned for more studies on this soon... authors.elsevier.com/a/1g175…

I’m finally ready to talk about the experience of appalling mistreatment we had with peer review of one of our papers. This was by no means the only time I’ve had to contend with bias in academic publishing, but it definitely is the worst thus far. A 🧵 (1/n)
