Big news! 🎉 The lab will be moving to Duke University in 2025 where I will serve as a tenured Professor in the Departments of Neurosurgery & Biomedical Engineering!

We held another incredible Memory Hub meeting last week, featuring @SuthanaLab and @antferrui, who presented their creative topic "One Rhythm, Two Species? Rethinking the functional role(s) of hippocampal theta" 🧠 🤓
Thanks for coming out, everyone!

New lab paper! 🧠
Human hippocampal & MTL theta activity is linked to eye movements, but only during memory-guided navigation. Theta is also strongest during longer, more exploratory eye movements.

Huge congrats to @humza_n_zubair & team! 👏

May help explain cross-species differences. In rodents, hippocampal theta is more continuous & linked 2 mov’t speed, while in humans it is intermittent, possibly because it aligns with discrete, eye movement, related exploratory behavior rather than movement speed as we show here

The biggest problem holding neuroscience back right now isn’t data or tools, thanks in large part to the BRAIN Initiative.
It’s fragmentation across species. I wrote👇 to hopefully spark discussion around an issue that can only be solved as a community

Excited to announce that I’ve been awarded an NRSA F30 grant from @NIMHgov ! To study neural mechanisms of avoidance/pursuit during human ambulatory navigation.
Special thanks to mentors @SuthanaLab @ausaf and all with the @uclacaltechmstp @dgsomucla for support and guidance!

I recently spoke at a Congressional briefing with a military veteran from our PTSD clinical trial on the life-changing impact of the NIH Brain Initiative. Watch here👇

In just 10 yrs, BRAIN has enabled human research I never thought possible, leading to first-in-human discoveries & breakthrough treatments for PTSD, Depression, OCD, Parkinson’s & more. For many of these patients, they will tell you it’s the reason they are alive today.

Suthana et al. studied brain recordings from implanted electrodes in freely moving humans. They show that neural dynamics encoded actual and imagined routes similarly. @SuthanaLab @m_seeber

5/ Between trials, @m_seeber had them walk on a treadmill. Sometimes they could think about anything (control trials); other times, they were explicitly told to imagine walking the same paths. 💭

7/ Participants wore eye-tracking headsets 👀. When walking right-turn-only paths, they made more rightward eye movements, and leftward for left-turn paths. Even during imagination, their eyes still followed a similar pattern! 🤯⬅️➡️

8/ Memory-guided navigation engages structured hippocampal theta, which persists into imagination → Spatial memory & mental simulation share neural mechanisms.
Thank you NIH funding, 1st author @m_seeber, amazing lab team, collaborators, & participants who made this possible!
