Excellent work led by @green951.bsky.social showing how human retrosplenial cortex integrates landmarks and self-motion cues during spatial navigation!
How does the brain unify various spatial cues to form coherent spatial representations? Our latest paper shows that RSC contains cue-independent spatial representations in terms of representational similarity during spatial navigation. #7tmri #WolbersLab

Representational Similarity Analysis Reveals Cue-independent Spatial Representations for Landmarks and Self-motion Cues in Human Retrosplenial Cortex
Abstract. It is a fundamental question in the spatial navigation literature how different spatial cues are unified to form a coherent spatial map of the space. Landmarks and self-motion cues are two m...

🚨 New lab paper!🚨
A dream study of mine for nearly 20 yrs not possible until now thanks to NIH 🧠 funding & 1st-author lead @seeber.bsky.social
We tracked hippocampal activity as people walked memory-guided paths & imagined them again. Did brain patterns reappear?🧵👇

Great write up at @thetransmitter.bsky.social on the seeming erasure of SABV in the new era of NIH. Gotta say The Transmitter is killing it the last few weeks, first to report on the Federal Register block and now this. Leading the charge! 💪 www.thetransmitter.org/policy/exclu...
Exclusive: NIH appears to archive policy requiring female animals in studies
Such a shift would “put us back in the dark ages in terms of our science,” says neuroscientist Anne Murphy, who helped to formulate the original policy.

In 2014 Dutch scientists left a hamster wheel outside, to see if wild animals would use it like their domesticated counterparts.
The answer: hell yes! 734 visits from wild mice - plus rats, shrews, slugs ("running" being subjective here) & even frogs and snails.
The apparent reason: fun. Just fun.
