The biggest problem holding neuroscience back right now isn’t data or tools, thanks in large part to the BRAIN Initiative.
It’s fragmentation across species. I wrote this to hopefully spark discussion around an issue that can only be solved as a community👇

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!
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?
Meet us in Berlin for the 6th International Mobile Brain/Body Imaging (MoBI) Conference, taking place August 25–28, 2026, at the historic Hotel Oderberger in the heart of Berlin, Germany.

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.
We’re hiring! The Suthana Lab @ Duke is looking for a Research Assistant to join our team studying human memory & real-world 🧠 dynamics using wearable tech & intracranial recordings.
