Ring attractor networks rely on fine-tuned symmetric connectivity.
The fly head direction network has ring attractor dynamics but heterogeneous connectivity.
How is this possible? 1/🧵

Always nice to receive a hard copy of a textbook you contributed to and not always the case I find the cover’s illustration beautiful thanks Nicolas Wanaverbecq, @ianduguid.bsky.social and Annalisa Scimemi for huge editorial work
A study in Nature Neuroscience shows that core benefits of sleep—reduced local sleep pressure, renormalized synaptic strength and memory consolidation—can be reproduced in awake, behaving mice by inducing sleep-like on/off activity patterns in cortex. #Neuroskyence 🧪

Beautiful view from the beach in Cassis this morning
Deadline day! We are almost full...

Be still my beating heart! Super interesting and important. The Mosers show that when rats switch between familiar rooms, each grid module shifts phase independently — and that differential shift across modules drives global remapping in hippocampal place cells.

Driessen et al. show that core benefits of sleep—reduced local sleep pressure, renormalized synaptic strength and memory consolidation—can be reproduced in awake, behaving mice by inducing sleep-like on/off activity patterns in cortex.
