1/19 I’m thrilled that my postdoctoral work, with John Widloski and David Foster is now out in @science.org, along with a wonderful preview by Daniel Bendor!
The time course and organization of hippocampal replay
The mechanisms by which the brain replays neural activity sequences remain unknown. Recording from large ensembles of hippocampal place cells in freely behaving rats, we observed that replay content i...

Pleased to share the final version (out in @natureneuro.bsky.social ) of my recent project showing how the primate HPC and OFC interact during contextual reasoning!

A big thanks to the reviewers who made the paper better!

Context-dependent decision-making in the primate hippocampal–prefrontal circuit - Nature Neuroscience
The brain uses different valuation schemes across contexts. Elston and Wallis show this is supported by hippocampal encoding of context that is broadcast to prefrontal value subcircuits via theta sync...

A farewell dim sum dinner with my Berkeley crew. On the one hand, I am so excited to start my lab in Austin; on the other, I'm also so thankful for the friends and colleagues who truly helped me feel so at home these last few years 🥲

Hey bluesky - I'm happy to share a new preprint! I found that hippocampal-prefrontal interactions enable contextual reasoning in primates! Here's to hoping this thread works 🤞
