1/7 🧠 My journey into development begins with this work and question: how does the brain's spatial navigation system develop? We found that the neural networks for spatial navigation (tori and rings) are preconfigured and only later anchor gradually to the world with experience! 🧵

The Commission is pushing for a massive increase in funding for Horizon Europe 2028-2034. If I understand correctly, Pillar I, which includes @erc.europa.eu and Marie Sklodowska Curie fellowships, would go from the current €25 billion to €44 billion. Let's hope it happens!
