Thinking about #PlaceCells and the #Hippocampus, do you think results in rats (/rodents) generalise well to humans, and conversely?

#Neuroscience #NeuroRat #NeuroHuman

Yes, good generalisation between the species
25%
No, poor generalisation between the species
18.8%
It depends (on what?)

Despite being in the US (even worse: Texas!) this #PostdocJob seems really cool!!
“collect and analyze human neurons and LFPs, with a focus on real-time behavioral and neural analyses of naturalistic memory and navigation tasks.”

Postdoctoral Associate- Human Intracranial Recordings

How far away are we from doing large-scale single unit recordings in human? Serious question
Like what’s the kind of electrodes / tetrodes that are currently available and used to record in humans (say, #Epileptic patients)?

That’s… impressive
Hippocampal Ripples linked to Declarative Memory Judgments in Children

“intracranial recordings in 14 children (age: 6-14) undergoing epilepsy monitoring”
“We found a significant increase in ripple rate specifically during clips recognized as familiar” (apparently normal in humans, but kind of the reverse as in rats where novelty increases ripple rate)

Potentially very interesting #NeuroPaper in #Humans:
Backbone spiking sequence as a basis for preplay, replay, and default states in human cortex

(Thanks to my colleague Hung-Tu for highlighting this one!)

(I’m not sure we can really say that preplay has been “robustly demonstrated” in rodents though…)

Backbone spiking sequence as a basis for preplay, replay, and default states in human cortex - Nature Communications

Sequential neural spiking activity is a potential substrate for learning and memory across species. Here, the authors showed spiking in the human cortex forms an average backbone sequence, and flexibility around this backbone is associated with cognition.
