Really enjoyed writing up this article with Lavonna Mark for @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social on how internal states - like attention, arousal, or goals - can reshape our brain's map of space, helping the brain adapt navigation to what matters most.

Fun afternoon with the lab learning how to make homemade pasta!
New preprint! Circuit wiring isn’t just anatomy, it shapes computation. Disrupting CA1→subiculum topography reorganizes spatial coding and destabilizes network dynamics. Great collab led by Yanjun Sun, & with D Pederick, X Xu & L Lou!

Congrats @emilyaeryjones.bsky.social and team! The brain doesn’t just map where you are, it maps where it matters. Great thread below!
Anyone else running into NPX 2.0 supply issues? Heard there’s a 90 pause on accepting new orders 🫣

Beautiful early morning run yesterday from Chevy Chase to DC! Now time for science!
Sunrise run in NYC @rockefeller.edu
New paper! Congrats to @markplitt.bsky.social, Konstantin and team! The brain’s spatial map isn’t static but for hippocampus CA1 maps to change with experience, they need postsynaptic membrane fusion. A new link between synaptic machinery and flexible coding!

Great papers in spatial neuro this week. Csicsvari's group: hippocampal place fields stabilise during learning while mPFC stays flexible. Giocomo's lab: CA1-subiculum topography actively shapes boundary coding & corner cells.

Internal behavioral states influence many brain circuits, with well-known effects in sensory areas. Less is known about how these states shape downstr…
