#Introduction Hi all, I'm a spatial cognition postdoctoral researcher and will post about rats (like these), #PlaceCells (yes it's a new hashtag) and other cool things that the #Hippocampus does, as well as random stuff. If I have bad habits from "that other site", please help me correct them, and as a Mastodon newbie, do send me your tips or tutorials!PS: do rats need content warning?

Hi all 😃Our latest #Review on #SplitterCells is now published in @eLife !!I will probably write a real thread on it when I get a chance... for now:link: https://elifesciences.org/articles/82357why: some neurons in the #Hippocampus (and other brain regions) of #Rats (and other mammals) have the fascinating ability to discriminate not just different presents, but different past or future states or trajectories in the same current situation. They could be related to #EpisodicMemory or #DecisionMaking 🤔They are called 'trajectory-dependent cells' or Splitter Cells. 🔀 We tried to make sense of them!what: Hippocampal Splitter cells do a lot of puzzling stuff. For example there's a lot of them even in tasks that do not require the Hippocampus to be solved. They spread asymmetrically on a linear track leading to a choice point - 'past' splitters around the start and 'future' splitters towards the choice point. #TimeCells cells can be splitter cells (but they're usually #PlaceCells). Splitter cells evolve with experience, or maybe it is performance, nobody really knows. ⁉️ ... and a lot more weird stuffconclusion: Two different computational models, the temporal context model and the latent state model, each explain a subset of the properties of splitter cells... so perhaps the Hippocampus implements both! But more experiments are needed to disentangle them 😄now what: questions or comments? Please let us know!! ✍️#Neuroscience #Cognition #NeuroPaper

Call to all Mastodon NewcomersWelcome to all!How can we improve the #onboarding process? If you joined in the past few weeks can you let us know what was difficult when you joined and/or once you had joined?For example:I didn't know which server to joinit took too long for my joining request to get acceptedI wasn't sure how to find people to follow(The aim of this post is not to collect answers to the problems but rather detect all potential obstacles to joining & starting to use Mastodon. Please boost around! 🔄)#Mastodon #MastodonTips #NewHere (not me, but my target audience)

#UsPol for Facebook users (might not be a lot on here, I know)If you have a #Facebook account, was it just made to auto-follow #Trump and #Vance (the US vice-president)?(Please specify if you have a US-based account or not, and feel free to boost!)

Do you remember where you first learned about Neurons and that the brain is made of them and that they basically are who we are? Was it at school, high school, university? Was it from a parent or a friend? Or maybe from a book?I'm just curious about everyone's experiences :)#Neuroscience #Neurons #Brain

It's only about 10 AM this Monday and I've already been called with the wrong name twice in emails...One was EleanoreOne was EleonorNone of these are my name!That's your reminder to please pay a little attention to the recipient's name before clicking send! Or just don't use their name at all ;)#SillyProblems

Typical #Mastodon (Fediverse?) moment:a supportive video on the #Fediverse is referenced in a post. In this case the video is on YouTube...one person in the comments saying that the video should really be on PeerTube instead@_elena (author of the video) answering that it is! The original version was released on #PeerTube firstmany more people answering that the video should be on PeerTube insteadElena very patiently answering to all of them..People: maybe check the comments before answering? 😘 If you have #FetchAllReplies implemented in your server, you might have to refresh the post once open but it should load all replies for you. If you don't have it.. then I hope you get it soon (I thought it was out there but maybe not yet?)Elena: thank you so much for making this video and being so patient with us 🤗@randahl: thank you for sharing to the video! 🙌https://mastodon.social/@randahl/114693490280132879

Little #MastodonTip : if you ask a question in a post and eventually get a good answer, you can edit your post with the answer added!That way people who have boosted it will know the answer as well (it should notify them) and people who see it know that there is no need to answer.

ByeBye Ryanair, go pollute someone else's air 👋(France increased taxes on plane tickets so "in response" #Ryanair cancelled several French destinations)Le Monde – Ryanair diminue ses activités en France après l’annonce de la hausse de la fiscalité sur les billets d’avionhttps://www.lemonde.fr/economie/article/2025/07/30/taxes-sur-le-transport-aerien-en-colere-contre-la-hausse-de-la-fiscalite-sur-les-billets-d-avion-ryanair-diminue-ses-activites-en-france_6625490_3234.html#LeMonde

A colleague is asking how many #Neuroscientists are here on Mastodon / Fedi. If you are one, could you make yourself known in this poll? Also, more specific comments about your field welcome! 🧠please boost around if you don't mind#Neuroscience #Academia #AcademicChatter

Trying to move away from the #Microsoft suite (#Word, #Powerpoint, #Excel), mostly because of their forcing of #Copilot on users.It seems that the choice is between #LibreOffice or #OpenOffice - which one would you recommend that is most compatible with MS formats, has similar functionalities (but with #NoAI ) and is good for collaboration (e.g. can do tracked changes)?(Best if it works with #Zotero)Edit: thanks for all the comments about OpenOffice being in Zombie mode. I had not realised!Also, some people suggest #OnlyOffice but its parent company is Russian-based (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OnlyOffice). Should we really support it at the moment? 🤔Looks like I'll just try LibreOffice for now but am still interested in y'all's thoughts!Edit 2: installed LibreOffice and added the LibreOffice Zotero processor. It all instantly worked!

[voir ci-dessous pour la traduction fr]This feels like a time as good as any to share the (French) songs of my dad - Jacques Duvelle - who was a music teacher and a singer - musician - composer.He released two albums with his group and also led a national event in France at the time of the war in #Bosnia (1994) where he somehow organized for 10 000 children of schools all across France, plus the world-famous singer Barbara Hendrix, to come to Paris and sing "the song of Sarajevo" against the war.I noticed that you can upload mp3 files here, so I will share the songs in this thread... 🎵 ⤵️ -- Version Française --Le temps est venu de partager un fil sur les chansons de mon père - Jacques Duvelle - qui était un professeur de musique (au collège) et un chanteur - musicien - compositeur.Il a sorti deux albums avec son groupe et a aussi organisé un événement national en France au temps de la guerre en #Bosnie (1994) où il a réussi à faire venir 10 000 enfants de tous les collèges de France, avec la chanteuse de renommée mondiale Barbara Hendrix, sur le Champ de Mars à Paris, pour chanter une chanson qu'il avait composée avec les enfants "La Chanson de Sarajevo", contre la guerre.Apparemment on peut publier des fichiers mp3 ici donc je vais partager ses chansons ci-dessous! 🎵 ⤵️ 1/x#JacquesDuvelle

What instant communication, thread-based platform do you use at least once a month?Just trying to get an idea of the popularity of different options - multiple choices possible, please boost around!If you think we should add some choices, please cite them in comment and I'll do a 2nd poll. They would have to be similarly thread / themes / channel - based, with a phone app but also available in the browser (e.g. maybe Matrix? But website-only platforms like Discourse would not work).#Discord #Teams #MSTeams #Slack #Zulip #AcademicChatter (but not only)
