In case this is useful for anyone out here - new tools for Bayesian analysis of grid cell activity (with the benefits of efficiently evaluating covariates and avoiding binning): https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.17217

Happy #FluorescenceFriday! Here are #Parvalbumin (red) & #Calbindin (green)-expressing neurons in mouse #hippocampus and #entorhinalcortex. Great image by our technician, Eva Rothenberg (working with Dr. Gustavo Rodriguez). #cellsignal #Swant 🔬🧠

@nadel Another amazing episode! So clearly written and interesting. Thank you so much again for sharing.
Adding some hashtags to help this gem being discovered:

“An entorhinal-like region in food-caching birds”

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.01.05.522940v1

“We found a well-delineated structure in these birds that is topologically similar to the entorhinal cortex and interfaces between the hippocampus and other pallial regions. Recordings of this structure revealed entorhinal-like activity, including border and multi-field grid-like cells.”

(I didn’t see any grid-like cells but it looks very interesting nonetheless!!)

#introduction

Hello,

I am a neuroscientist studying how specific regions in the brain are vulnerable to Alzheimer's disease (#AD). We are mainly interested in the neurons of entorhinal cortex and hippocampal since they are affected early in AD and important for memory. We use in vivo electrophysiology to understand the population dynamics of neurons affected by amyloid beta and tau pathologies. More recently, we've been interested in how locus coeruleus pathology impacts downstream regions.
Was awesome meeting so many fellow scientists at the #neuroscience meeting #sfn2022
