Overall, these findings highlight disrupted timing & coordination in this circuitry, suggesting impaired MEC-hippocampus communication.
Moving forward, we’re excited to explore if restoring theta synchrony and/or spike timing in these circuits can ameliorate memory deficits. (5/6)

We also found disruptions in neuronal firing patterns, including:
⬇️ theta phase locking in MEC3 excitatory neurons
⬆️ firing rates in MEC2 excitatory neurons (in line with past work showing hyperexcitability in vitro)
Check out the preprint for more on other regions and celltypes! (4/6)

Theta oscillations are important for memory, plasticity, & long-range communication.
In 3xTg mice, we found ⬇️ hippocampal theta power and ⬇️ theta synchrony between MEC & CA1.
These changes emerged specifically at our later timepoint, coinciding with spatial memory deficits! (3/6)

We used silicon probes to record from MEC (layer 2 + 3) & hippocampus (CA1 + DG) simultaneously in the 3xTg mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease pathology.
This let us capture oscillations & single units in both hippocampus & MEC (a major source of hippocampal inputs). (2/6)

Interested in how neural communication breaks down in a model of Alzheimer's pathology?
In a new preprint, we found desynchronization in medial entorhinal–hippocampal circuits that coincided with the onset of spatial memory deficits in 3xTg mice. (1/6)

I returned to Symbiosis, the science short film contest I competed in in 2023, this time as the coordinator! It was an honor to work with Imagine Science Films/Labocine/ @simonsfoundation.org to support this year's 6 INCREDIBLE scientist-artist pairs in their filmmaking journeys. (4/6)

Did 2024 feel LONG to anyone else? A little 2024 recap from me: I defended my PhD and submitted a first author paper describing my thesis work! Look out for a preprint very soon. (1/6)
