Task engagement differentially drives hippocampal and neocortical neural codes Sensory inputs are progressively transformed into internal representations of the environment along the cortical hierarchy. How does the behavioral relevance of these inputs affect this encoding? Usin...

The main project from my PhD, in collaboration with Manuela Allegra and @schlab.bsky.social is now available as a preprint! We wondered how the hippocampus and the visual cortex may differ in the way they refine sensory inputs into internal representations

Learning-dependent gating of hippocampal inputs by frontal interneurons | PNAS The hippocampus is a brain region that is essential for the initial encoding of episodic memories. However, the consolidation of these memories is ...

Congratulations to Christoph Schmidt-Hieber @schlab.bsky.social and team on their PNAS publication! Their study reveals how SOM+ interneurons in the frontal cortex act as 'gatekeepers' for hippocampal inputs during learning, shedding light on memory consolidation.
