Agree this is a very cool paper.

The result is that soma-dendritic mismatch reflects an error (teaching) signal.

Below panel (5e) is key data, supporting the idea that their SD residual approach captures differences in their two populations as a function of the behavioral outcome (error).

You know what? For €25, this is not a bad way to add a digital read-out to a stereotaxic frame.

I'm measuring about a 20 micron discrepancy per millimeter between the DRO and the stereotax; not terrible.

We had a lot of fun doing these experiments! Theta sweeps in MEC and internal direction signals in parasubiculum track moving objects during pursuit and reverse during backward movement. Simultaneously recorded HD cells in other areas remain locked to head direction across behaviors:

Maybe this isn't new, but I just noticed in the new @zotero.org version 8 that you can do split view of a PDF. Really nice feature for quickly checking results against methods

Projection-specific integration of convergent thalamic and retrosplenial signals in the presubicular head direction cortex Nonlinear dendritic integration in single presubicular neurons provides a mechanism for combining vestibular-based head-direction signals and visual landmark signals to anchor the brain’s internal com...

Coincidence of thalamic HD signal and retrosplenial visual input is detected in the Presubiculum! 🎯 This may be the neuronal basis for landmark anchoring of the HD signal. Pleased to announce the VOR is now available elifesciences.org/articles/92443 Congrats first author Louis Richevaux 🙌

Will this show up in the lab - or home use?

Congratulations Nao!

Environmental Novelty Modulates Rapid Cortical Plasticity During Navigation In novel environments, animals quickly learn to navigate, and position-correlated spatial representations rapidly emerge in both the retrosplenial cortex (RSC) and primary visual cortex (V1). However,...

How does the brain balance learning new things without overwriting what it already knows? Our new paper tackles this long-standing stability–plasticity dilemma during active navigation. With Tony Drinnenberg from the Deisseroth Lab (@deisseroth.bsky.social)
