We held another incredible Memory Hub meeting at @sinaibrain.bsky.social last week, featuring @suthanalab.bsky.social and @antferrui.bsky.social, who presented their creative topic "One Rhythm, Two Species? Rethinking the functional role(s) of hippocampal theta" 🧠 🤓

It was great to see everyone!

Thanks Joel!

Thank you!

Thanks Kim!

May help explain cross-species differences. In rodents, hippocampal theta is more continuous and linked to locomotion speed, while in humans it is more intermittent, possibly because it aligns with discrete, eye movement, related exploratory behavior rather than movement speed, as we show here.

New lab paper! 🧠

Human hippocampal & MTL theta activity is linked to eye movements, but only during memory-guided navigation. Theta is also strongest during longer, more exploratory eye movements.

Huge congrats to Humza & team! 👏

Yes! Let's have more discussion about the big things holding back neurosci so we can rally to find solutions.

I agree with @suthanalab.bsky.social that silos across species in both measures and the uptake of results into theories is on the "big problems" short list.

What do you see as solutions?

Not explicitly no. In my experience as an applicant these grants don’t score well. They will need specific FOAs focused on cross-species studies imo to be successful.

I agree 👍

Neuroscience has a species problem If neuroscience is serious about building general principles of brain function, cross-species dialogue must become a core organizing principle.

Neuroscience has a species problem If neuroscience is serious about building general principles of brain function, cross-species dialogue must become a core organizing principle.

The biggest problem holding neuroscience back right now isn’t data or tools, thanks in large part to the BRAIN Initiative.

It’s fragmentation across species. I wrote this to hopefully spark discussion around an issue that can only be solved as a community👇

Excited to give a Special Lecture at #SfN2025 in San Diego (Nov 15-19)!

Proud of our current & former lab members presenting so posters and talks this year 🧠 ✨ See our schedule below! #Neuroscience #SuthanaLab

Excited to announce that I’ve been awarded an NRSA F30 from the NIMH! I’ll be studying neural mechanisms of avoidance/pursuit during human ambulatory navigation.

Special thanks to mentors @suthanalab.bsky.social, Dr Ausaf Bari, and the @dgsomucla.bsky.social
for support and guidance!

Thanks! 😊

Thank you!

😊 Thank you! Can’t wait 🤩

The lab is officially up & running at Duke! 🥳

Huge thanks to @dukemedschool.bsky.social for the amazing space, & to our lab team for getting everything installed & operational within a month 😅

Excited for what’s ahead!

Simons Foundation Launches Collaboration on Ecological Neuroscience Simons Foundation Launches Collaboration on Ecological Neuroscience on Simons Foundation

We are excited to announce our new Simons Collaboration on Ecological Neuroscience (SCENE)! This program will unite experts in experimental and computational #neuroscience approaches to investigate how the brain represents sensorimotor interactions. www.simonsfoundation.org/2025/04/24/s... #science

🤩 So excited to work with this amazing team & @simonsfoundation.org to further Ecological Neuroscience #SCENE

Thank you!

That is a great idea! I think it could work!

Thank you!

Thanks Marc! Excited to be here!

Thanks Mara! 🙏
