Here’s an interesting “last mile” thing that’s often over-looked. When you park your bike at the bike parking station in downtown Eindhoven, you can pick up a free baby stroller for walking around with your child!
Neural representation of human experimenters in the bat hippocampus - Nature Neuroscience

Snyder et al. report that hippocampal neurons in Egyptian fruit bats modulate their activity depending on the position and identity of human experimenters when bats are flying and encode experimenter position and identity when bats are stationary.

If you're at #FENS2024 come say hi tomorrow morning! (PS01-26AM-003)

We can chat about population drift in the entorhinal cortices and hippocampus during free exploration and sensory minimized conditions 😊🌻🐀

Remember to drop by my poster tomorrow morning! While you're there check out the 8 awesome posters surrounding me from the #Moser group.

How are events segmented and organized in time? And how might this impact our perception and memory? Check out our work here on how neural trajectories in the lateral entorhinal cortex inherently drift over time, but abruptly shift at event boundaries to discretize a continuous experience. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.06.17.599402v1 https://x.com/EdvardMoser/status/1802967173196808557 #Events #Time #Timing #Memory #Dynamics #Experience #Circuits #EntorhinalCortex #Hippocampus #AnimalBehavior #Preprint

@dsmith Impressive data! :)

@dsmith

I checked and it's not published. Turns out it was actually a study to validate the use of an automated sleep tracker and they wanted to compare to participant reports of perceived time slept. Could have made a whole timing study out of it!

The technique, which measures calcium currents as a proxy for neuronal firing, sometimes reports unusual and potentially misleading waves of activity in the hippocampus.

@elduvelle_neuro Thanks El! So happy to finally share it.
@beneuroscience this looks super cool, absolutely #Need2Read!
