He received lots of awards and accolades in addition to the Nobel Peace Prize. Many in the first year of his first term. He deserved every one of them. The world recognizes greatness.

Our new paper out now in Science explores how neural activity in the lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC) *drifts* over time - and *jumps* at key boundaries - to help organize events in memory.

🔁 Fascinating new preprint from the Moser Group!
How does the hippocampus achieve its vast memory capacity? 🧠 The answer lies in the flexible combinatorics of grid cells.

Check out this new preprint from @clykken.bsky.social and the Moser Group:
Independent phase-shifts across MEC grid modules can generate a vast diversity of hippocampal codes — revealing the mechanism that enables episodic memory.

How can the brain create countless unique memories using a single, universal metric of space? We’ve been waiting for the answer to this for two decades!

QQ2: Where are the grid cells and if so, how many? We find that grid cells form a discrete "hot spot" segregated from other functional cell types in the superficial layers of MEC and PaS. @martipof.bsky.social

QQ3: We observe hexagonal grid cells even in environments with elevation changes! The hexagonal pattern is cleaner on the surface of a ramp and on a dome seen from above, and more distorted on a cone seen from above.

QQ4: QQ4: We study population dynamics across the spatial navigation circuit as a rat moves between 4 rooms. With 4 NPX probes in CA, MEC/PaS, SUB, and dPreSUB, we see how maps switch at a fine timescale and track when each region settles into the correct representation. @jocarpenter.bsky.social

QQ5: What is the developmental timeline of the low-dimensional manifolds of the entorhinal cortex? Rings and tori organize at P9-P10 before major sensory-motor milestones, coinciding with other major shifts in MEC cortical dynamics. @me

QQ6: By combining large high-NA objective, wide-angle MEMS scanning, SiPM detection, and multi-beam multiplexing, this new 2P miniscope (Mini10K) enables cellular-resolution imaging of thousands of neurons in freely moving mice, surpassing current FOV and throughput limits.

QQ7: How do MEC ultraslow dynamics vary across behavioral states. In free foraging, population dynamics organize in ultraslow sequences while in NREM sleep they present as synchronous oscillations.

QQ11: RSC is using the HPC spatial code for good! We observed retrosplenial populations encode task structure when behaviourally relevant cues were present in a hippocampal-dependent spatial task.
