Ever wonder if there are spatial maps in the brain outside the hippocampal-entorhinal regions? In this preprint, we describe a novel spatial map in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) that preserves the topological arrangements and distance between locations. However, ...

The orbitofrontal cortex forms a context-generalized spatial schema that preserves topology and distance
Flexible and efficient navigation requires the brain to construct maps that are both topological, preserving the relationships between locations, and schematic, enabling generalization across environm...

In vivo single-cell gene editing using RNA electroporation reveals sequential adaptation of cortical neurons to excitatory-inhibitory imbalance
The balance between excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission is fundamental for normal brain function, yet the adaptation of individual neurons to disrupted excitatory-inhibitory balance is not wel...

Excited to share our Nature Neuroscience paper!
We explored how the human #retina keeps signals in sync despite big differences in axon length.
Great collaboration with @iobswiss.bsky.social + @bel-bsse.bsky.social — special thanks to @ffranke.bsky.social

How do different sensory signals combine in the computation of cognitive maps? I’m thrilled to share our new preprint, in which we investigate this question in the context of the head-direction system:
www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Joint visual-vestibular computation of head direction and reflexive eye movement
Several cognitive maps have been identified, but what sensory signals drive them and how these are combined are not well understood. One such map, the head-direction representation, is believed to be ...

I'm thrilled to be opening my own lab this Fall at the @maxplanck.de MPI for Brain Research in Frankfurt. The lab is going to investigate the neuronal and genetic underpinnings of behavioral evolution. We are hiring on all levels. Don't hesitate to share widely and reach out if interested.

🚨New(ish) preprint
In mice, visual objects are encoded in the navigation syst, not much in the visual cx, certainly because they are used for orientation.
This new version now includes cool comp work from @dlevenstein.bsky.social using @kenmiller.bsky.social's SSNs.

Visual objects refine head direction coding
Animals use visual objects to guide navigation-related behaviors, from hunting prey, to escaping predators, to exploring the world. However, little is known about where visual objects are encoded in t...

A person on a bicycle is by far the most energy-efficient among animals and machines per distance traveled relative to body weight. The bicycle is magic.
