Very proud of Kourosh Maboudi for his conscientious work on nature.com/articles/s4158…, where he developed and applied a new method to track the spatial tuning of hippocampal neurons during offline periods and found that they can change during ripples after maze exposure. 1/3

January 1992 in Prague Jan Bureš told me about place cells, and turned me into a scientist. This Perspective reminds us that such neurons don’t respond to stimuli. Network discharge (and knowledge) is internally-organized but interdependent on the world nature.com/articles/s4158…

New paper from the lab in Current Biology funded by National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) by the amazing Justin Shin. “Prefrontal cortical ripples mediate top-down suppression of hippocampal reactivation during sleep memory consolidation” (1/n) sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New preprint from the lab! 🚨 Replay of procedural experience occurs in the striatum and is independent of the hippocampus. Heroic effort by Emmett Thompson & the rest of the team Jasvin Kaur, Georgina Mills, Will Dorrell, Clémentine Dominé 🍊, Tom George 🧵👇1/13

The flow of experience, expressed in trajectories of neural population activity, is discretized at event boundaries. Implications for how we recall time (and fail to).

Clock-like 🕰️ firing of medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) time cells is modulated by learning, allowing the tracking of various temporal structures that emerge through experience Jim Heys Erin Bigus Hyunwoo Lee University of Utah Neurology @Uutah University of Utah Health nature.com/articles/s4159…

Researchers at University of Utah Health have found that, in mice, a specific population of “time cells” is essential for learning complex behaviors where timing is critical. buff.ly/3xpVpks

Excited to share paper out in Nature Communications with David Klindt Benjamin Dunn! Uncovering 2D toroidal representations in grid cell ensemble activity during 1D behavior Presented some of this at Neuromonster (thanks Ruairidh Battleday et al): youtube.com/watch?v=0eW4w3… nature.com/articles/s4146…

If you missed it..cool new work from Jim Heys lab!

My main postdoc work, 4.5 years in the making, is now out as a preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. We (myself, Isabel Low, Frances Cho, and Lisa Giocomo) discovered task-relevant remote representations in entorhinal cortex independent of CA1. #tweeprint below! 1/13

Session proposals for the 2025 Park City Learning and Memory meeting (Jan 2-5) are now open! This is a fun meeting that allows ample time for discussions and interactions with trainees. Feel free to reach out to me or Steve Ramirez. See website for more info: parkcitywinterconf.org

We are looking for a tissue culture lab tech...starting ASAP! Previous lab techs have gone on to med and grad school. This position is primarily to support cell bio/biochem projects using primary rodent neurons. Also room for doing your own project! utah.peopleadmin.com/postings/170080

Such pleasure co-mentoring Conor throughout his PhD journey all the way to this super exciting manuscript! 2P CA1 imaging+DREADDs, 2P MEC/LEC axonal imaging (!!), mouse behavior and more. He found that BTSP doesn’t just create place fields, but odor fields too (+ EC is crucial).

I am pleased to announce the publication of our latest research in Cell Reports, led by Dr. Jennifer Robinson (Jennifer Robinson) in collaboration with Dr. Michael Hasselmo (Michael Hasselmo). Our study demonstrates that spatial and temporal coding by grid cells depends on inputs

🚨Faculty Job Alert! 🚨We are excited to announce a new tenure-track faculty search at the Neuroscience Institute for a #theoretical and/or #computational neuroscientist. Apply by 11/15 to join our community! apply.interfolio.com/153167 #neuroscience #academicjobs

We’re hiring at U of Utah Department of Neurobiology! I've truly enjoyed working in this dynamic and supportive department. This is an amazing place to start a lab as a new faculty! Please consider applying and feel free to DM me with any questions. utah.peopleadmin.com/postings/170290
