Missed this when it came out last year. Peng et al. find that grid cells in mice running a self-motion task don't hold a single global pattern — instead they reanchor to task-relevant objects, encoding position in multiple local reference frames. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41593-025-02054-6

How does the brain build a memory? A common assumption is that the neurons activated during an experience collectively form the memory engram. In our new Nature Neuroscience paper (finally out!), we show that this is not the case. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New paper alert! 🚨 We found that the brain's compass is remarkably stable at two scales 1️⃣ the system maintains its internal organization for weeks 2️⃣ It "remembers" its orientation for weeks, even after a single visit This may be key to how the brain aligns its other maps. Paper: rdcu.be/e3waP

In @eLife.bsky.social: Divergent spatial codes in retrosplenial cortex and hippocampus support multi-scale representation of complex environments doi.org/10.7554/eLif... The eLife reviewed preprint of my brilliant PhD student work 🤩🤩🤩… révision is coming soon 😉

Our new preprint is now live on bioRxiv: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... We established neuronal recordings in freely moving subterranean mammals, enabling functional studies of brains in extreme ecological niches. 🚀 #neuroscience #molerats #neuropixels

💥 Another excellent study from Clément Naveilhan & Stephen Ramanoel, pushing forward our understanding of how the retrosplenial complex (hashtag#RSC) supports spatial orienting during active movement through space. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

📢 We are organising the Senses in Motion conference for the third time, and we are now accepting abstracts for posters or talks. Deadline for abstracts: 19 December Conference dates: 18–21 May 2026 Location: Harnack House, Berlin Register via this page👇 sensesinmotion.org #neuroskyence #neurosky

Really excited to share this Opinion piece we've been working on with fellow head-direction cell geeks @apeyrache.bsky.social @desdemonafricker.bsky.social and (bsky-less?) Andrea Burgalossi! While head-direction cells pop up in many cortical regions, we think that one of them is quite unique (1/8)

Dear colleagues, we have an open PhD position in computational neuroscience - spatial memory models and intracranial recordings - fully funded. Re-advertised, candidates are ideally available in the near future. A collab. with 4 labs. Apply here: tinyurl.com/yc84ctap

[Événement] Le troisième colloque interdisciplinaire du GDR Mémoire se déroulera du 7 au 10 octobre 2025 à Cabourg. Tous les détails ici : gdrmemcab.sciencesconf.org?lang=fr

Excellent work on the effects of unilateral vestibular lesion on the activity of head direction cells (nice recordings, powerful analyses and awesome reading) from the amazing @elma-nada.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Using a semi-natural environment (in the absence of a natural one) in an experimental lab is a feat, and one with super exciting results. Congrats @elma-nada.bsky.social and @jeanlaurens.bsky.social team!
