My latest Aronov lab paper is now published @Nature!

When a chickadee looks at a distant location, the same place cells activate as if it were actually there 👁️

The hippocampus encodes where the bird is looking, AND what it expects to see next -- enabling spatial reasoning from afar

Happy to share the latest results of our collaboration with the Do Monte and Kirouac labs, led by Guillermo Aquino-Miranda (who will hit the job market soon 😉). www.cell.com/neuron/abstr...
Functional properties of corticothalamic circuits targeting paraventricular thalamic neurons
The authors show that activation of prelimbic (PL) cortex inputs leads to depolarization block in a subset of anterior paraventricular thalamic (aPVT) neurons. Inhibitory inputs from the anteroventral...

Excited to publish a broad set of enhancers to target interneuron types in the brain, along with a broad set of collaborators. Part of the BI armamentarium. Together this will help revolutionize the targeting of brain circuits.https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.07.17.603924v2

Huge congrats to @karyna-mi.bsky.social for her paper published today in Science! She found that the hippocampus is really important for a key strategy we use to make decisions called hidden state inference! 🧪 🧠https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adq5874 1/7
Hidden state inference requires abstract contextual representations in the ventral hippocampus
The ability to use subjective, latent contextual representations to influence decision-making is crucial for everyday life. The hippocampus is hypothesized to bind together otherwise abstract combinat...
