Then @gisellavetere.bsky.social gave us a nice summary of the current state-of-the-art on how memory engrams control behavior

Our new preprint on experience dependent adaptation of the visual looming response instinct.

Representing the PhD work of Paul Conway at @tcddublin.bsky.social, and combined efforts of Ryan Lab investigators - in collaboration with @gisellavetere.bsky.social

Plasticity of visual looming response reveals a dissociation of innate and learned components
Animals rely on both innate and learned behaviour to respond optimally to their environment. However, little is known about how the brain may reconcile the ability to produce hardwired responses essen...

1/3 How does visual input affect the heading direction (HD) network?

In our latest lab preprint, Ryosuke presents "visual landmarks" to larval zebrafish and shows that the HD network tethers to the visual environment. The experiments are again inspired by the beautiful recent work in Drosophila.

An amazing collaboration to be a part of: We helped @gisellavetere.bsky.social & @clementpouget.bsky.social simultaneously deliver 3 AAV constructs to Ca1 neurons.

What they then acheived blew me away - the tagging of cells recruited in memory encoding with a temporal resolution of mere seconds!
Our preprint of my PhD’s work in @gisellavetere.bsky.social lab is finally out on BiorXiv: doi.org/10.1101/2024..., and I’m so excited to share it! If you’ve ever wondered about reconciling engram manipulation experiments and neuronal activity during encoding, you’re on the right thread! 1/14
Deconstruction of a memory engram reveals distinct ensembles recruited at learning
How are associative memories formed? Which cells represent a memory, and when are they engaged? By visualizing and tagging cells based on their calcium influx with unparalleled temporal precision, we ...

Do you think you’ve conquered the enigma of the memory engram? News flash: You’re only scratching the surface. :)
In our latest work (led by @Clement), we dissected the engram to uncover what information is processed during encoding and becomes the essence of the recalled memory.

A study in Nature Neuroscience identifies a prefrontal–pontomedullary pathway that slows breathing and reduces anxiety in mice. The findings explain a circuit basis for top-down control of breathing, which can influence emotional states. Ÿ”’ https://go.nature.com/3CUtPy3
