Hello 👋 this is my .

I'm a postdoc in the lab of Azahara Oliva & Antonio Fernandez-Ruiz at Cornell where I explore circuit-level dynamics underlying learning and memory.

Hippocampo-cortical circuits for selective memory encoding, routing, and replay

Traditionally considered a homogeneous cell type, hippocampal pyramidal cells have been recently shown to be highly diverse. However, how this cellular diversity relates to the different hippocampal network computations that support memory-guided behavior is not yet known. We discovered that the anatomical identity of pyramidal cells is a major organizing principle of CA1 assembly dynamics, the emergence of memory replay, and cortical projection patterns. Segregated pyramidal cell subpopulations encoded trajectory and choice-specific information or tracked changes in reward configuration respectively, and selectively routed these representations to different cortical targets. Furthermore, distinct hippocampo-cortical assemblies coordinated the reactivation of complementary memory representations. These findings reveal the existence of specialized hippocampo-cortical subcircuits and provide a cellular mechanism that supports the computational flexibility and memory capacities of these structures. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.

Great point - same for other intersecting marginalized groups & scientists from countries outside North America and Europe. I hope my Mastodon circles are better than the Twitter echo chambers 🤞!

Applying to grad school? Want to join my lab? I'm accepting students through Psychology (as.nyu.edu/psychology/graduate) or Data Science (cds.nyu.edu/phd-admissions-req)! For more info and possible project areas, see below or check out my website 👉 lindsay-lab.github.io

Remember, friends don’t let friends use the official Mastodon apps.

Get yourself Tusky for Android, or Metatext for iOS. Toot! Is also good for iOS.

Enjoy all the timelines and features.

HAPPY STRIKE DAY to UAW unionized researchers on the UC campuses!

(I would love to be striking with you, but UC is still refusing to recognize the project scientist union.)
