Do you use Bonsai and Harp for behaviour acquisition? How easy has it been to interface the outputs with your analysis pipeline?
We’re building a high-level Python interface to streamline Bonsai/Harp integration and align data streams. Nearly there, we’d love your input!

Very happy to see this out! Based on the microcircuit identified by Vollan et al., we made some interesting predictions about theta sweeps along the parasubiculum-MEC-HPC pathway, especially theta modulated head direction cells which direct the left-right sweeps in downstream grid cells.
Really impressive identification of this functional circuit!

Even better it just needs continuous attractor dynamics & firing rate adaptation (or similar) to work, which also makes some new predictions (model with @zilong-ji.bsky.social, Tianhao Chu, Si Wu)
