RE: https://neuromatch.social/@elduvelle_neuro/116850195155224254
Hi all, please check our latest preprint (Tirole et al., 2026) that breaks the dogma of #HippocampalReplay being value-dependent!!
(but of course if there's anything we did not account for, please let us know, that's what preprints are for!!)

“This is a hill I’ll die on!” - says the scientist feeding smelly paste to rats running in a home-made maze with hills and troughs just like the waves in the rat’s brain and the emotions in the scientist’s life… 🏔️ 🌊 🧠
@rmgrieves 's latest paper is out, with rats on hills, #PlaceCells recordings and modelling looking at how the brain maps real-life environments: Hippocampal place cells map terrain geometry independently of behavior
It was great fun to work with him and Jeff Taube on this, even with all the emotional rollercoasters (inherent to science-making)!

Sometimes you wonder why the labs with all the funding (not just this one! This is just one example) do not do slightly more risky experiments instead of rediscovering the wheel.. 🤔 This is something anyone who records in hippocampus has observed and there's even specific papers about it.
Place cells in CA1 lack topographical organization of firing locations
See for example Redish et al., 2001: Independence of Firing Correlates of Anatomically Proximate Hippocampal Pyramidal Cells from @adredish (at least it is cited)

Our paper on the poor replicability of Tolman, Richie & Kalish, 1946 - the famous "Sunburst maze" - is out!
Last author @rmgrieves made a very nice thread about it here:
https://fediscience.org/@rmgrieves/115844897663215766The article: Tolman's Sunburst Maze 80 Years on: A Meta-Analysis Reveals Poor Replicability and Little Evidence for Shortcutting
I'll just add that this doesn't at all question the #CognitiveMap theory, which is quite strongly supported by diverse lines of evidence - but it shows that one of the elements previously used to support the theory, the ability to choose a shortcut over unexplored space, is not that clearly demonstrated!
Importantly, this also shows that it is crucial to consider papers in their context and to make sure results are consistently replicable before changing them into scientific facts!
PS: I managed to attract Roddy to Mastodon - it would be great to show him we can get at least as much interaction on here as with his similar thread on Bluesky

Very cool retrospective AND review of the hippocampal #SpatialCognition field from Neil Burgess:

My colleague asks what is a good and easy-to-use software to create and run #VirtualReality experiments in humans?
Something that works with one of those VR headsets, but ideally would also work on a normal computer screen in a non VR version... Their experience with coding is mostly with Matlab... Any suggestions? -

#SpatialCognition question: any studies that show that if you learn a response (e.g. "turn left at choice point) in one environment, you are more likely to repeat this response in a new environment?
So, "response #generalisation" ?
I'm pretty sure this is a thing but can't find a good study to cite about it...

People who use rats in #SpatialCognition tasks, or decision-making tasks, which strain do you prefer? 🐀
(Ideally, please comment on why!)
(Multiple choices possible if you really have to) -

Anyone knows of researchers that compare #Mice and #Rats behaviour (ideally in complex tasks)? It could be in #SpatialCognition but also in other fields. Papers that directly compare both species would also be great.

If you want to study #HippocampalReplay... Use ephys, not #CalciumImaging!!
(Calcium imaging doesn't detect single spikes well, but replay mostly involves single spikes)

I contributed a little bit to this methods paper now published in #eNeuro :
Adapt-A-Maze: An Open-Source Adaptable and Automated Rodent Behavior Maze System - my contribution is mostly about the automated, pneumatic door system, as you may know, doors are my thing 😉 🚪First author Blake Porter from the #JadhavLab did a great job putting everything together in an easily-useable format and, for once, I will link to Bluesky with his nice thread on it: https://bsky.app/profile/blakep-neuro.bsky.social/post/3lms56kaj3k2x
If you ever try to implement it in your own lab, let me know!
