Check out this new preprint from @clykken.bsky.social and the Moser Group:
Independent phase-shifts across MEC grid modules can generate a vast diversity of hippocampal codes — revealing the mechanism that enables episodic memory.

Our new paper out now in Science explores how neural activity in the lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC) *drifts* over time - and *jumps* at key boundaries - to help organize events in memory.

Left–right-alternating theta sweeps in entorhinal–hippocampal maps of space - Nature
A study in rats proposes a mechanism for how the brain maps the surrounding environment, including places it has never seen, by alternating left and right forward sweeps in successive theta cycles.
