Humans excel at #learning and adapting to new circumstances, but what about mice? In our new @PNASNexus paper, we found that every mouse learned a new visual rule in a single session. So: what are the behavioral mechanisms that allow for fast learning? shorturl.at/B9aI7

Science of the day: Head direction neurons usually need a decoder to reveal heading. With these raster plots, the heading is clear from the neurons' spiking activity. Side science: although compared to an internal compass, the HD system isn’t tied to magnetic north #Neuroscience

Happy to publish this last part of my PhD work. Thanks to @lab_stark, @shirlysomeck, @LidorSpivak, @Roni_gatt, @HadasSloin for a partnership that lasts long after the PhD was done

Finally, we suggest a multilevel framework for rule learning as part of a composite learning scheme. We expect the new paradigm and the framework to be useful for deciphering the neuronal mechanisms of rapid discrimination learning requiring reference memory.

Is the hippocampus necessary for non-spatial short-term memory? We developed an automated tactile task for freely-moving mice and silenced CA1 specifically during the memory phase. Want to know how performance is impacted? Check out our new #preprint: shorturl.at/dpFY7

BSF-grantee Dr. Eran Stark @lab_stark uncovers how our brains thrive when neuron groups synchronize "spike timing" as a team, challenging old assumptions and shedding new light on neuronal connectivity and brain plasticity. @TelAvivUni 🔗science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

🌐 Long story short, a precession generator resides locally within CA1! The results are incompatible with models of inheritance, spreading activation, dual-input, inhibition-excitation summation, or somato-dendritic competition and are consistent with a dual-oscillator model. 6/7
