Canada Impact+ Chair position in Systems & Tissue crosstalk at BrockU

Happy CIHR project Grant submission day to all those who celebrate. May the 13% odds be in your favour, and may they continue to hold two competitions per year!

🚀 New preprint from the lab! Our first foray into the subiculum uses in vivo whole-cell recordings to show that dendritic plateaus are a prominent, learning-dependent signaling mode of subicular neurons. Feedback is welcome!

New paper alert! 🚨

We found that the brain's compass is remarkably stable at two scales

1️⃣ the system maintains its internal organization for weeks
2️⃣ It "remembers" its orientation for weeks, even after a single visit

This may be key to how the brain aligns its other maps.

Félicitations Adrien et équipe!

Congratulations Sofia! Super exciting work!

🧪 Excellent review unpacking where Hebbian and homeostatic plasticity converge, and where they diverge. A clear framework for reconciling synaptic stability with learning-related change. Delighted to see this in the 'Diversity of the Plasticitome' research topic.

This article is part of a series on the Diversity of the Plasticitome, edited by @pjsjostrom.bsky.social and others!

Frontiers | Convergence and divergence of molecular mechanisms in Hebbian and homeostatic plasticity The umbrella of synaptic plasticity includes associative, activity-dependent alterations in synaptic strength that are thought to underlie learning and memor...

Happy to share new review from Harshit in the lab with Kira from Tim Kennedy's lab in Montreal on shared and divergent mechanisms in Hebbian and homeostatic plasticity. We hope it will be helpful to the community - was a lot of fun to write!

Dendrite-targeting OLM interneurons regulate the formation of learning-related CA1 place cell representations Spatial learning depends on the rapid formation of hippocampal CA1 place cell representations through behavioral timescale synaptic plasticity (BTSP)[1][1]–[7][2]. BTSP is driven by dendritic Ca²⁺ pla...

Stoked to see this paper finally out!

It answers two big questions: where visual objects are encoded in the brain, and how head-direction cells get oriented using visual landmarks.

Super fun collaboration with @mace-lab.bsky.social and Stuart Trenholm.

Single neurons act as a memory buffer for space The brain’s ability to briefly retain information is believed to depend on persistent neural firing. Historically, persistent firing has been attributed to recurrent synaptic networks, in which neural...

Nice new work from Motoharu Yoshida’s group suggesting that persistent firing serves to code spatial information.
