After a heart attack, immune cells are recruited to the brain to induce sleep, which suppresses inflammation in the heart and aids recovery @Nature @cam_phd @peacemakerhuynh nature.com/articles/d4158… nature.com/articles/s4158…

We are delighted to share our latest findings today in @Nature. We describe cardiogenic regulation of sleep after cardiac injury. “Myocardial infarction augments sleep to limit cardiac inflammation and damage” nature.com/articles/s4158…

When we anticipate the future, the brain shows graded representations of the future & past. The scale of these representations increases systematically from lower- to higher-order regions. Proud of this work by @hannahtstoll, a collab w/ @ChrisBaldassano! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Our new paper in @Nature shows that entorhinal grid cells adapt their representations to a new environment in one-shot and we derive a model that fuses landmarks & motion to *predict* the detailed grid rep *before* the mouse enters the new environment! nature.com/articles/s4158…

A few postdocs asked me to read over their job applications. Here’s a few bits of advice: 🧵 /10 1. If any advice doesn’t ring true for you, discard it (including this!) 2. People on the search committee are keen to welcome a colleague, they aren’t looking to take you down

📢 Our newest preprint is up—just in time for SfN! Come by the nano Tues am N228 for the 10 min version, or see 🧵 The unexpected punchline: when a chickadee looks at a place from a distance, the SAME place codes activate as if it were actually there 👁️ t.ly/wr5_J

Hippocampus generates an internal model of Euclidean space. We ventured in a spatial odyssey exploring how much of the internal model is a priori, innate (Nature) and what is contributed by postnatal experience of Euclidean geometry (Nurture) Our answer@ nature.com/articles/s4146…👇

How a crying baby is similar to denoising an ephys rig: 1) There's noise and you don't know why 2) You need to stay grounded 3) You have superstitious beliefs about what actions stop the noise 4) These actions work sometimes but not always 5) The noise can randomly start again
