We recently posted a new review preprint: “Ventral hippocampus and the contextual control of Pavlovian and instrumental behavior”, written with fantastic collaborators Samantha Moriarty (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee) and Travis Todd (University of Vermont).

Am slowly making my way through this paper. And it is an impressive body of work by a collection of great researchers.

However, I have a couple of problems with it...

#ebbs2025 was a success despite a heatwave. More participants than any meeting since covid. So much incredible science in the symposia, the posters and the blitz talks. Can’t quite believe it’s over. Now time to look forward for @ebbsociety.bsky.social meeting in Dublin in 2027!
