Published on January 25, 2026 1:57 AM GMTJoin Us for the Memory Decoding Journal Club!A collaboration of the Carboncopies Foundation and BPF Aspirational NeuroscienceThis time, we’re revisiting a standout connectomics paper:“Structure and function of the hippocampal CA3 module”Authors: Rosanna P. Sammons, Mourat Vezir, Laura Moreno-Velasquez, Gaspar Cano, Marta Orlando, Meike Sievers, Eleonora Grasso, Verjinia D. Metodieva, Richard Kempter, Helene Schmidt, & Dietmar SchmitzInstitutions: Charité–Universitätsmedizin Berlin; Ernst Strüngmann Institute for Neuroscience; Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin; Max Planck Institute for Brain Research; and collaboratorsIn this work, the authors combine 3D electron microscopy, multipatch physiology, and computational modeling to argue that CA3 is far more recurrently connected than previously assumed, supporting pattern completion and memory sequence replay. The aim of this JC is to understand how far this paper went toward achieving memory decoding from a connectome and what a CA3 study would look like that could win the Memory Decoding grand prize.Presented by: Dr. Randal KoeneWhen?
