Excited to share the sequel to our 2022 paper! In this follow-up, we show that the stable head direction (HD) signals we reported in blind mice rely on stereo olfaction—that is, the comparison of odor info. between the two nostrils. Link:

Stereo olfaction involves comparing odor differences between the two nostrils. Here, using neuronal recordings and a behavioral test, the authors demonstrate that blind mice use stereo olfaction to fo...

We had a lot of fun doing these experiments! Theta sweeps in MEC and internal direction signals in parasubiculum track moving objects during pursuit and reverse during backward movement. Simultaneously recorded HD cells in other areas remain locked to head direction across behaviors:

Stoked to see this paper finally out! It answers two big questions: where visual objects are encoded in the brain, and how head-direction cells get oriented using visual landmarks. Super fun collaboration with

and Stuart Trenholm.

Our new paper out now in Science explores how neural activity in the lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC) *drifts* over time - and *jumps* at key boundaries - to help organize events in memory. 🔗

Check out Amy’s cool work on the octopus visual system! Amy + team describe novel receptors and map their distribution and function in the optical lobe. Turns out: Octos run different hardware to process visual input, but might have evolved similar circuit motives / logic to those in vertebrates!
