That’s a wrap on #SfN2025 for our lab. Feeling grateful to do neuroscience with such an outstanding group — and to catch up with friends and colleagues across the community. SfN always reminds me how lucky we are to be part of this field.

Excited to share new work from our lab at #SfN2025! @sfn.org
Posters on how the brain learns about time and space—from foraging and MEC dynamics, to RNN + hippocampus in curriculum learning, to MTL vs striatal activity across learning, and cognitive aging in social isolation stress. Check them out!

Congratulations to the Rising Stars in Neuroscience – Class of 2025! This is one of my favorite events each year, and this year was no exception.
Keep an eye on this incredible group of scientists—they’re doing amazing things!

Heading to #COSYNE2025?
Don't miss our latest work, led by Jack Bowler, on curriculum learning! We've uncovered how recurrent networks in the entorhinal cortex and RNNs develop specific dynamical mechanisms for abstract learning, depending on how they are trained.

Being a scientist in the U.S. feels especially stressful right now. Here’s a bit of early morning backcountry ski zen to share with you.
