Thanks to my incredible mentors @ilanawitten.bsky.social and Rich Mooney, who have shaped me and my science. And thanks to my colleagues at Emory, who are simply the best!

Thanks David! We are really excited about this one.

The data suggest distinct roles for iCA1 and iCA3 in how they represent social novelty information.

Finally, by tracking the same neurons across sessions, Ben found that, while spatial information remains stable across days - social information rapidly remaps in both hippocampal subfields.

Finally, by tracking the same neurons across sessions, Ben found that, while spatial information remains stable across days - social information rapidly remaps in both hippocampal subfields.
Ben found that iCA3 neurons are more strongly modulated by social stimuli and encode relative social novelty relative to iCA1 neurons. In contrast, iCA1 neurons were more strongly modulated by spatial information..

So Ben developed a novel linear presentation assay which allows him to present multiple social targets at the same location using an automated programmable conveyor belt.

So Ben developed a novel linear presentation assay which allows him to present multiple social targets at the same location using an automated programmable conveyor belt.
Ben found that both in the iCA1 and iCA3, social information is strongly multiplexed with spatial information. Making the traditional social discrimination assays hard to interpret.
