Great evening with Maarten Kole (middle) from the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience and colleagues in Amsterdam.

Indexing, Representational Drift, Time keeping mechanisms, memory landmarks, and inhibitory neurons.. Fun evening with ⁦@bartos_marlene⁩ ⁦@J_S_Farrell⁩

@AmarSahay_ Yes, it’s a great path for an early morning run.

What a beautiful morning run Chicago

Remarkably, hippocampal PV neurons, which usually exhibit low spatial tuning, became more spatially selective after removing CP-AMPARs, indicating that CP-AMPARs suppress the feature selectivity of neurons beyond vision. @thainmueller and @bartos_marlene don't mess around.

Interestingly, excitatory-PV interneuron connectivity rates and unitary synaptic strength were unaltered by CP-AMPAR removal, suggesting that the selectivity of PV interneurons can be altered without drastically changing connectivity. Kudos to Juhyun Kim and @brownlaboratory!

@sjo09 It was a great talk! We very much enjoyed having you in the lab.

Great visit to Freiburg to talk engrams and memory with ⁦@bartos_marlene⁩, Monika Schonauer, Claudio Elgueta and colleagues!

The kick-off meeting of our research consortium IN-CODE (inhibitory neurons: shaping the cortical code) took place in Freiburg. We are looking forward to a fruitful interdisciplinary and collaborative work. sfb-transregio.de

Chess Grandmaster Anna Muzychuk refuses to play in Saudi Arabia and says: "In a few days, I will lose two world titles, back to back." Because I decided not to go to Saudi Arabia. I refuse to play by special rules, to wear abaya, to be accompanied by a man so I can leave the hotel, so I don't feel like a second class person. "I will follow my principles and not compete in the World Fast Chess and Blitz Championship where in just 5 days I could have won more money than dozens of other tournaments combined." This is all very nasty but the sad part is no one seems to care. Bitter feelings but can't go back. " —Anna Muzychuk

Thanks to the members of the Physiology Department 1 in Freiburg (Letzkus, Sauer, Veit, Cholvin, Elgueta, Bartos groups) and their excellent contributions to a very successful Neuroscience retreat at the castle Beugen this year.

@TorfiSigurdsson Thanks!

@bartos_marlene Congrats!

I am happy to share our recent study published in Nature Comm on hippocampal interneuron circuits governing the representation of novelty in mice. doi: 10.1038s41467-024-44882-3

We are hiring PhD students and postdocs. If you are interested, please send me your CV and motivation letter via email.

Are you passionate about inhibitory neurons? Don’t miss the next Gordon Conference on "Inhibition in the Central Nervous System" in Les Diablerets, Switzerland in July 2023, co-chairs @bartos_marlene and @Rico_lab and vice-chairs @GordFishell and @attila_losonczy 1/4

Couldn't have asked for a better #FENS2022 experience! I was especially lucky to engage with so many inspiring female neuroscientists @GjorJulijana @KanakaRajanPhD @ClopathLab @bartos_marlene @YiotaPoirazi and many others, who are paving the way for the future generation🙏

Many thanks to Christine Grienberger and Christoph Schmidt-Hieber for organizing the Symposium S32 on ‚Understanding the formation of spatial representations: from synapses to circuits‘ at fens 2022. It was great to be part of it.

🔥 join @Schlab4 and me for this symposium on spatial representations in the #hippocampus on Monday afternoon at the #FENS2022 meeting. it's going to be 🥳🎉

Part deux. Redux @SolteszLab @CurioNeuro @DraguhnL et al
