Very excited to finally have this published. Maneesh and I had the first discussions about this 10 years ago! Grid cell distortion is correlated with distance estimation. cell.com/current-biology/ful…

We have two exciting opportunities for PhDs in the lab. One looking at networks underlying easy and difficult memory problems and the other using dynamic bayesian networks and high density electrophysiology to examine memory: findaphd.com/phds/project/ea…

Great new paper with @Silviventu She showed that enriched rats are better at hard memory problems, have sparser hippocampal activity and more rate remapping in CA3 authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…

New paper with @brivandrey She recorded place and trace cells across CA1 and showed more precise object representations in cells getting LEC input. Great to have it out onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

My latest work tests the limits of pan-neuronal optogenetic entrainment of the septo-hippocampal circuit in relation to speed and cognitive demand. It also looks at the effects of static “low-theta” entrainment on spatial goal finding: dx.doi.org/10.1002/hipo.2324…
