How does the 🧠-map choose what to sample?
Preprint: #Sweeps in #gridcells act as attention-like signal, dynamically biasing the map towards behaviourally relevant locations.

Theta sweeps are population sequences in #gridcells and #placecells that, once per theta cycle, radiate outward from the animal’s location. In baseline conditions, they alternate rigidly left-right around the head axis, generating broad, forward-oriented sampling of nearby #space. (2/6) 🧠🧹

We are thrilled to share that Dr. Jose A. Fernandez-Leon Fellenz has received an #IBRORisingStars #Award!
It is a remarkable achievement for our lab, given the highly competitive nature of the award.

May-Britt Moser (1963-) is a Norwegian neuroscientist renowned for her discovery of grid cells, specialized brain cells that create a coordinate system to help the brain map its environment. with Together her then-husband and collaborator Edvard Moser and their mentor John O'Keefe, she identified these cells near the hippocampus, which are critical for spatial representation and memory. Despite facing challenges as a woman in a male-dominated field, including balancing career and family life, Moser's work has profoundly advanced knowledge of spatial deficits and memory impairments in neurological conditions like Alzheimer's disease. Her achievements earned her and her collaborators the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. She has also received numerous other honors, including the Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize and the Körber European Science Prize, and she holds a leadership position at the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience, which she co-founded.

Sweeps are accompanied by, and aligned with, a similarly alternating directional signal in a discrete population of direction-tuned cells with putative connections to the #gridcells 🗺️
