We held another incredible Memory Hub meeting at @sinaibrain.bsky.social last week, featuring @suthanalab.bsky.social and @antferrui.bsky.social, who presented their creative topic "One Rhythm, Two Species? Rethinking the functional role(s) of hippocampal theta" 🧠 🤓
It was great to see everyone!
If neuroscience is serious about building general principles of brain function, cross-species dialogue must become a core organizing principle rather than an afterthought, writes @suthanalab.bsky.social.

Yes! Let's have more discussion about the big things holding back neurosci so we can rally to find solutions.
I agree with @suthanalab.bsky.social that silos across species in both measures and the uptake of results into theories is on the "big problems" short list.
What do you see as solutions?
May help explain cross-species differences. In rodents, hippocampal theta is more continuous and linked to locomotion speed, while in humans it is more intermittent, possibly because it aligns with discrete, eye movement, related exploratory behavior rather than movement speed, as we show here.
