A half-century old question may have its final answer. Using high-resolution #Mini2P microscopes, we find no evidence of local topography in #PlaceCells. Place fields of neighbouring cells are no more similar than those of randomly selected cells. 🧠🗺️ Out now in @pnas.org www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
Excited for @crane-navsci.bsky.social conference!
Our keynote speaker is @russellepstein.bsky.social, with a panel @noranewcombe.bsky.social @aliprestonphd.bsky.social and Daniel Dilks. This is a super intimate and interdisciplinary conference focused on spatial cognition.
Submissions are open!
Please share - we hope to see you and your work in May!
The Hippocampal Subfields Group standardized+reliable protocol for defining hippocampal body subfields in MR images is published! This is the result of a massive international effort. Check it out and keep your eyes peeled for training events from our raters

Is it the definition of madness that I keep pouring countless hours into developing NIH proposals?
The hippocampal map has its own attentional control signal!
Our new study reveals that theta #sweeps can be instantly biased towards behaviourally relevant locations. See 📹 in post 4/6 and preprint here 👉

Planning + navigating novel shortcuts differently tax vmPFC subregions
Shortcuts differing more from prior experience are more demanding
Posterior vmPFC functions more closely resemble hippocampus and event separation

Kind of awesome belated Christmas gift from my mom
🚨 Our latest preprint:
A new tool to provide assessments of experience of the built environment: the NDIX.
This has been now deployed in 4 studies, being written up.
Here is the methods preprint with a starcast of co-authors:
The CRaNE center is now on Bluesky, with a new collab pub to share! Please follow for news of our members' science and our conferences and workshops!

In today's episode of "my colleagues are awesome" @tammyish.bsky.social
Going to ANFA? Check out Simin's talk on our research into how the built environment shapes memory through curiosity. I'm proud of her for the special recognition she's received!
It was an honor to get to present at the NTNU last week. And for those who are curious, Trondheim is a gorgeous city
🧠🎵 OUR NEW PREPRINT: Familiar melodies hijack your brain's learning networks—literally rewiring visual sequence processing from struggle mode to flow state.

Abby enjoys grant writing more than me
With another round of amazing seniors departing GT, they bring more tears to my eyes
Word on the street is there were 20,000 people on the ground in Atlanta today
#cns2025 come see our posters from the MAP Lab!
Sunday 5-7pm, C4 - Yiren Ren presents one of her recent studies on how music context signals influence event memory segmentation and learning
Tuesday 8-10am, F2 - Paulina Maxim presents data from young+older adult navigators on shortcut navigation
Following...
New article out! It's a collaboration in the journal Music Perception where we show that metric emphasis influences what listens hear as tonic/stable in pop music loops:

Excellent work led by @green951.bsky.social showing how human retrosplenial cortex integrates landmarks and self-motion cues during spatial navigation!
Fortitude
Great opportunity to work with a legendary mentor
The official link to apply for the postdoc position in my lab is live. Please pass it along! utaustin.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/UTstaff/job/...
Exactly - this is a very harmful stance taken. My job would be impossible without the whole team
AR and EEG are fan favorites
Our 3 newest centers, CRaNE, CHART, and CoCo are a smash hit at the STEAM outreach event! Who knew science was cool!? @gtresearchnews.bsky.social @gt-neuro.bsky.social
Does that mean the registry is back open or is it wishful thinking on our brave admins’ parts?
