@chrastil @alinatu0 and team - congratulations! What a fantastic paper, wonderfully done!
This is precisely the kind of work we need to move the field forward on this question and presented so carefully and thoughtfully! I love it!
A few thoughts --
21 Nov 2024
🚨 new paper alert! Does hippocampal volume relate to navigation abilities? What about hippocampal subfields? @alinatu0 addressed this question that has been perplexing the navigation community. The short answer: yes, but it's complicated. 🧵 1/6

On Thursdays, I get to fill the @ucicnlm kitchen with these incredible scholars who are dedicating their careers to understanding the brain and curing neurological disorders. How did I get so lucky? 🥯☕️🧠🫶

A few years ago I was in a position to do something unique in neuroscience. I had been working with the phenomenal @emilyjacobs on menopause and inspired by @laura_pritschet's menstrual study, and I was planning a pregnancy. What if we scanned my brain??

🚨 New paper alert! We tested spatial exploration in midlife adults, who had different quantity and quality than young adults. Led by @ppady_vaisakh (who is starting his own lab at Tilburg this fall!) with @DanielaCossio96 @emilyjacobs and Mary Hegarty

Turns out #iNAV2024 was exactly what I needed to get myself out of my research slump. Feeling motivated & inspired about my work for the first time in months! So thankful to everyone who let me rant about my mad scientist theories! So happy to be a part of the @chrastil lab.

An end to a truly fantastic first day of #iNAV2024! 🧠🙌
Getting lost in great company is the loveliest thing.
Looking forward to another day of serendipitous encounters, life-changing conversations and light-bulb moments…

Day 1 of #iNAV2024 complete 🥳
Today was a full day of interdisciplinary navigation research, and I'm grateful for the insightful conversations I've had with new and old colleagues. Looking forward to a restful night of sleep before another full day of exciting talks tomorrow!

After 3 flights, 2 delays, a 4 hr shuttle ride, a car accident, 24 hrs of travel, and less than 4 hrs of sleep, I have finally made it to #INAV2024. I didn’t even lose my poster. Just my sanity
