Very excited to finally have this published. Maneesh and I had the first discussions about this 10 years ago! Grid cell distortion is correlated with distance estimation. cell.com/current-biolog…

Very excited about the paper and thanks to @Vic_Gill for such amazing coverage! bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Here is the other: findaphd.com/phds/project/n…

We have two exciting opportunities for PhDs in the lab. One looking at networks underlying easy and difficult memory problems and the other using dynamic bayesian networks and high density electrophysiology to examine memory: findaphd.com/phds/project/e… findaphd.com/phds/project/n…

My PhD work with @JamieAinge is now out in @CurrentBiology Increased flexibility of CA3 memory representations following environmental enrichment: Current Biology cell.com/current-biolog…

Great new paper with @Silviventu She showed that enriched rats are better at hard memory problems, have sparser hippocampal activity and more rate remapping in CA3 authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S09…

We have a new postdoc position available to look at hippocampal-entorhinal circuits underlying episodic memory. Click on the link for details: vacancies.st-andrews.ac.uk/Vacancies/W/39…

Officially Dr. Ventura 🎉 A big thank you to @drkjjeffery and Eric Bowman for the interesting discussion during the viva, and to @JamieAinge for being a great supervisor over the past three years

@hugospiers Thanks Hugo! Looking forward to getting started

We have Postdoc and Research Technician posts available on an exciting new BBSRC funded grant looking at episodic memory, neurogenesis and LEC. Click on the links or contact me direct for details.

A lovely paper with @JamieAinge @akiraoc @Kamar_Ameen_Ali @Madeline_Eacott now out doi.org/10.1016/j.nlm.…. How relative familiarity mediates PRh activity and comparing cfos activity in our continual trials apparatus with the standard SOR task @Campden_Instr @NC3Rs @CRACK_IT

New paper with @brivandrey She recorded place and trace cells across CA1 and showed more precise object representations in cells getting LEC input. Great to have it out onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/hi…

University of St. Andrews. Two lectureships in Psychology, come and join us: Neuroeconomics/Decision Making and Behavioural Neuroscience. See links below. vacancies.st-andrews.ac.uk/Vacancies/W/31… vacancies.st-andrews.ac.uk/Vacancies/W/35…

My latest work tests the limits of pan-neuronal optogenetic entrainment of the septo-hippocampal circuit in relation to speed and cognitive demand. It also looks at the effects of static “low-theta” entrainment on spatial goal finding: dx.doi.org/10.1002/hipo.2…

🔊new paper on connecting primary care patients to community-based #physicalactivity approaches!We did interviews with both patients &health professionals!useful for those working in #socialprescribing hopefully!Funded by @nhsfife endowment fund @BJGPOpen bjgpopen.org/content/early/…

Reactions to an Online Demonstration of the Effect of Increased Fruit and Vegetable Consumption on Appearance: Survey Study jmir.org/2020/7/e15726/ great to see this paper out! Great work by @kernzi! #healthpsychology

New paper with @mvkuruvilla in Brain and Neuroscience Advances special issue "Within and beyond the medial temporal lobe: brain circuits and mechanisms of recognition and place memory" @BritishNeuro doi.org/10.1177/239821…
