Hippocampal Plasticity and Navigational Skills in Blindness

Navigation is a fundamental cognitive ability that relies on the hippocampus, a brain region that is known for its role in spatial representation and memory. In individuals with congenital blindness, the absence of visual input leads to significant neuroplastic adaptations that support alternative navigation strategies. This review examines the structural and functional modifications of the hippocampus in individuals who are blind and explores the broader neural mechanisms underlying…

Universal Relation between Spectral and Wavefunction Properties at Criticality
Quantum-chaotic systems exhibit several universal properties, ranging from level repulsion in the energy spectrum to wavefunction delocalization. On the other hand, if wavefunctions are localized, the levels exhibit no level repulsion and their statistics is Poisson. At the boundary between quantum chaos and localization, however, one observes critical behavior, not complying with any of those characteristics. An outstanding open question is whether there exist yet another type of universality,…

The $RO(\mathcal{K})$-graded homotopy of Klein-four normed Mackey functors
We compute the $RO(\mathcal{K})$-graded coefficients of the equivariant Eilenberg-Mac Lane spectrum associated to various Hill-Hopkins-Ravenel norms of the constant-$\mathbb{F}_2$ Mackey functor, where $\mathcal{K}$ is the Klein-four group. Further, we analyze the multiplicative structure of these $RO(\mathcal{K})$-graded Tambara functors.

Spontaneous Spatial Cognition Emerges during Egocentric Video Viewing through Non-invasive BCI
Humans possess a remarkable capacity for spatial cognition, allowing for self-localization even in novel or unfamiliar environments. While hippocampal neurons encoding position and orientation are well documented, the large-scale neural dynamics supporting spatial representation, particularly during naturalistic, passive experience, remain poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate for the first time that non-invasive brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) based on electroencephalography (EEG) can decod…
