🚨 We’re hiring: Associate Professor/Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience 🧠 Lead pioneering imaging-informed cognitive neuroscience research 🌍 Open to international applicants | Visa sponsorship available 📍 Permanent, full-time, on-site 🔗 Apply now: www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...

Excited to share our latest paper: “Phase Precession Relative to Turning Angle in Theta-Modulated Head Direction Cells” together with Dr. Eleonora Lomi (co-first author) Prof. @katejj.bsky.social Prof. Anna Mitchell and Prof. @neilburgess10.bsky.social doi.org/10.1002/hipo...

🧠 Our new (NIH funded!) paper reveals how the brain creates internal dynamics during both real- and imagined navigation. We recorded directly from the human hippocampus as participants moved through physical space and when they mentally navigated imagined routes. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This is cool! As a CCN student (2017) and a TA during the pandemic (2021), I highly recommend. It is also a good opportunity to explore China. CCN will happen again in Suzhou this time, which is a famous historical and cultural city in China.

I really enjoyed reading this commentary of our recent paper about modeling left-right sweeps in grid cells: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... from Prof. Michael Hasselmo, Dr. Jennifer Robinson and Dr. Patrick LaChance.

Ha ha. I am indecently excited by this! I think there are so many amazing neuroscience stories that don’t get told it’s great to be able to show some of them off! I hope the kids (and adults!) that read this will be as excited as I am about the way the brain works.

Very happy to see this out! Based on the microcircuit identified by Vollan et al., we made some interesting predictions about theta sweeps along the parasubiculum-MEC-HPC pathway, especially theta modulated head direction cells which direct the left-right sweeps in downstream grid cells.

I have been reading about cognitive maps and finding this literature fascinating, in particular that they could be reused to generalize. But is there really evidence for this? More generally, IYO what piece of evidence is missing to demonstrates the brain uses CM in important ways? Please RT🙏

ICN is hiring at Prof / reader level. Come and join the best and most fabulous cognitive neuroscience department anywhere www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/.... Please share

@cosynemeeting.bsky.social workshops are posted and they’re 🔥🔥🔥, as always. www.cosyne.org/workshops-pr... #cosyne #cosyne2025 #neuroskyence

Happy head direction cell day y’all! On this day, 41 years ago, Jim Ranck recorded the first “HD cell” in his Brooklyn lab in 1984. Jim shared the news with the world at SFN that year, showing a video of the cell’s firing on a TV he somehow acquired and brought to his poster… (1/3)

UCL colleagues and alumni have paid tribute to award-winning researcher, Professor Eleanor Maguire @uclqsion.bsky.social, whose studies into spatial awareness and memory led to a deeper understanding of how the brain works and had a profound impact on neuroscience www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2025/ja...

Excited to share that our preprint is out! doi.org/10.1101/2024... The structure of place cell reactivations was disordered in AD mice compared to WT! This was predictive of reduced place cell stability and memory performance on a radial-arm maze task. Here are a few details: 1/5🧵
