Excited to share our new paper on theta-phase locking of single neurons during human spatial memory:

www.nature.com/articles/s41...

With @lukaskunz.bsky.social, Joshua Jacobs, and our colleagues from the University of Freiburg
Neuronal theta-phase locking increased during periods of elevated theta power, when aperiodic activity exhibited steeper slopes, and when clear theta oscillations were detected. Theta-phase locking was similarly strong during the successful and unsuccessful encoding and retrieval of memories. Some neurons changed their preferred theta phases between encoding and retrieval.

My latest Aronov lab paper is now published @Nature!

When a chickadee looks at a distant location, the same place cells activate as if it were actually there 👁️

The hippocampus encodes where the bird is looking, AND what it expects to see next -- enabling spatial reasoning from afar

Really nice study led by Claire Lancaster and supported by other brilliant Sussex colleagues - in particular former PhD student Jess Daly. Greebles task is sensitive to subtle perceptual deficits in APOE e4 carriers in mid-life (which get worse with age and number of e4 alleles).

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.
Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.
