Spectacular.

I keep going back to this question about #TemporalCreditAssignment and #HippocampalReplay:
As an "agent" you want to learn the value of places and which places are likely to lead to reward;

-1) if a place leads to higher than expected reward, you'll want to propagate back the reward info from the reward throughout the places that led to the reward. If replay does that you should see an increase of replay at a new reward site and the replay sequences should start at the reward and reflect what you just did to reach it. Right?

-2) if a place leads to lower than expected reward, you'll also want to propagate that lowered value, pretty much in the same way, so if replay does that you should see a similar replay rate and content for increased OR decreased reward sites. Right?

-3) if a place has had unchanged reward for a while and you're just in exploitation mode (just going there again and again because you know that's the best place to go to in the environment) then you shouldn't need to update anything and replay rate should be quite low at that unchanged reward side. Right?

That's not at all what replay is doing IRL, so does that mean replay is not used for temporal credit assignment? Or did I (very likely) miss something?

#PlaceCells often have elongated place fields next to an environment's boundaries.
Is there any paper where this phenomenon is directly predicted by the #SuccessorRepresentation model of place cells?

Thinking about #PlaceCells and the #Hippocampus, do you think results in rats (/rodents) generalise well to humans, and conversely?

"In mice, here we reveal a non-pyramidal excitatory neuron type — the “ovoid” neuron — that is spatially adjacent to subiculum pyramidal cells but differs in gene expression, electrophysiology, morphology, and connectivity. Functionally, novel object encounters drive sustained ovoid neuron activity, whereas familiar objects fail to drive activity even months after single-trial learning."

One of the Clyde Street entrances to the Briggait in Glasgow. Designed by Clarke and Bell, it was oginally built in 1873 as a fish market. The hippocampi on either side of the central parapet are amongst the most distinctive architectural sculptures in the city.

This paper ⬆️ from Caitlin Mallory is now out in Science! Great to see a #HippocampalReplay paper there, and very well deserved!

@johnwidloski and I are co-organizing a symposium on #HippocampalReplay at the #EBBS25 in Bordeaux!

Our goal: From the state of the art in awake replay models & existing data, determine the next big questions and most informative future experiments to finally figure out what is awake replay for!

Our speakers:

John Widloski
Lisa Genzel
Jacob Bakermans
Elisa Massi

Meeting dates: 28 June to 1 July 2025 (our symposium is on the last day

Programme: ebbs2025.azuleon.org/programme

The abstract submission deadline for posters (and early bird registration) is on 31 March 2025 - I hope to see you there!
