#Neuroscientist, postdoctoral researcher studying spatial memory and flexible decision-making with #Tetrode recordings in the #Hippocampus of rats solving complex spatial tasks. This is my #Neuroscience focused account.

Will follow only active accounts to avoid “ghosts”. Please answer my pinned post!

I dipped a toe into Bluesky for a bit and I'm not impressed. A lot of quirky trivia but not so much interaction happening there. To each their own! I have a small pile of invites; if you want to see what it's like, PM me and I'll be happy to pass them along.

@NicoleCRust I hope you're letting them know they should come here for the real stuff ;)

Welcome to all! ❤️​🐀​
Potential new followers: can we try something out?

  • if you're a (of any status, yes, undergraduate students can be neuroscientists), could you answer with your neuro 'categories': Experimentalist, Computational, Philosopher, Fly, Human, Rodent, Whale, Tetrodes, Calcium imaging, fMRI, EEG, etc. This is so that I (and possibly others) can put you in a List! I'll share my lists once they have grown enough 😀​

  • if you're not a Neuroscientist, this account will probably not follow you, but you are totally free to follow it, and also to tell us about you and any questions you might have about neuroscience!

  • if you want to learn about neuroscience, I will try to post beginner-level explanations with the hashtag . Just an experiment...

@jonny right?? That caterpillar though… maybe I’ll create a third account just to use it. 😂

@deboraha Cool! So when people say “Cognitive science” or “Cognitive neuroscience” I’ve found they sometimes mean “human neuroscience”. Is this how you mean it or are you studying cognition in general regardless of species?

Hi all! My first "neuro-focused" post 🧠​ has to be these beautiful that I recorded in a foraging for cocops in a rectangle.

⏬​(trying this out)

What are "place cells"? They are a category of neurons, first discovered in the brain of rats, that activate only in specific locations in a given environment. Each place cell fires at a different location, together forming a sort of map () of all the locations that we know.

plot legend is described in the alt-text

This screenshot show similar data as the other plot, but speed-filtered (only data when the rat was moving and not resting) and in the form of a rate map, where high firing rate (spikes / second) in a given location is shown as red and low firing is shown as blue. Note how each cell has its own specific region of high-firing with a variety of sizes and shapes and locations of that region (called the 'place field').
