New paper by @masahironakano.bsky.social , @casewell.bsky.social & @clopathlab.bsky.social who show that planning-like L/R #ThetaSequences in #hippocampus can arise from #MEC dynamics and #Bayesian decoding. Take home: Not every future-like sweep is necessarily planning.

What about #placefields and #thetasequences?
✅ Place fields - intact
✅ Population level - space could be decoded equally well in control versus targeted animals [e.g. video in 1/]
BUT
❌ Pairwise corr. b/w pyramidal neurons were impaired
❌ ~8Hz rhythmicity of theta sequences was impaired
