Got to sit down with Ila @FieteGroup this summer and discuss this work. Happy to see it published! Lots of testable predictions in there

Read this a few weeks ago 10/10

-> Agoutis do cool scattering behaviors that are super interesting in the context of studying maps.. and they have big brains unlike other guys who do this (e.g. deer mice) so you could record from more brain regions simultaneously 💯

Very interesting review by @neuroetho and Galvez that resonated with so many points that pushed me into neurobiology

I really appreciated the call for a diversity of approaches and models that was so prominent early on!

It’s always a fun lab meeting when the prodigal child @Erik_Hermansen1 returns! (booking conference rooms is not our strong suit)
