New paper from @ykneurores.bsky.social in our lab 📢 We show body size predicts defensive behavioral strategy; smaller animals adopt active avoidance, larger ones favor freezing, while sex and age don’t drive the effect. A clear demonstration that traits matter. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Will find way to incorporate this into next talk! 🫶

Join us for Fall 2026. In our group, you can run studies from human behavior and neuroimaging, to large-scale NHP ephys, and join them up with a robust computational foundation. Bonus: you can help build the reading list.

@okaysteve.bsky.social's How to Change a Memory is out now! In this book, Ramirez draws on his own memories to reveal how memory can be turned on & off like a switch, edited, & even constructed from nothing. Explore a free sample: press.princeton.edu/books/hardco... #Neuroscience #Memory

Exciting collab with Paul Palme, Peter Imming, & Adrian Richter! Guided by @courbongautier.bsky.social's structure of myco ATP synthase bound to a squaramide, they have made SQAs that are less toxic, more potent, more stable than AstraZeneca's SQ31f #MedChem #TB #NTM pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

Brenda Milner showed the world that memory isn’t one thing — the hippocampus supports our life stories, while other circuits let us keep learning skills. Her research on patient H.M. built the foundation of cognitive neuroscience. #WomenInScience #MemoryResearch #NeuroHistory

Love this💕 Thanks @bsneuroendo.bsky.social for giving me the platform to share my story. Everyone should join this amazing society! @infneuroendo.bsky.social

📣 #MCCS25 starts TOMORROW! Check out our poster session tomorrow & our symposium on Friday to hear from the best and brightest in molecular and cellular cognition. More information here: event.fourwaves.com/MCCS25/pages

[email protected] CRC in Sensorimotor Neuroscience and @schulichmeddent.bsky.social professor and his collaborators recently published in Nature on how our brains not only plan out our actions, but they actually anticipate unexpected disturbances. Learn more: news.westernu.ca/2025/10/sens...

Excited to share the latest from the lab on the molecular mechanisms of silencing and un-silencing a hippocampal engram ensemble. Was fun using a variant of the EPSILON technique developed by Adam Cohen's lab. (1/2) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Fantastic opportunity at The Hospital for Sick Children. Please repost. www.nature.com/naturecareer...

@senapati.bsky.social latest and greatest! Charly Treiber on board too. Over and out. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New paper from the lab 🚨 Led by Ali Golbabaei, this study explores the how the composition of prefrontal cortical engrams changes with memory age: authors.elsevier.com/a/1lzT-3BtfH...

A great read!!!!

Enormous thanks to the Chica and Heinz Schaller Foundation for this award! I am thrilled and truly humbled, & I share it with my lab over the years and our wonderful collaborators! A timely boost to keep our science moving! Thanks to everyone for your kind messages! Looking forward to #FENS2026!

Stoked to see this paper finally out! It answers two big questions: where visual objects are encoded in the brain, and how head-direction cells get oriented using visual landmarks. Super fun collaboration with @mace-lab.bsky.social and Stuart Trenholm. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Good morning everyone! So, I wrote a book (!!) and it’s coming out November 4th in physical and audiobook form. It’s called *How to Change a Memory* www.amazon.com/How-Change-M...

After your SfN in San Diego, drift 130 km up the coast to Irvine for a bit more: cncm.medschool.uci.edu/2025-special... Go ahead and register now.

New preprint! In 2014, we showed that histone variants are new regulators of memory and ever since, we wondered if histone H2A.Z contributes to Alzheimer's. Using human brains and 5xFAD mice, we found that it depends on if you're male or female. Summary below. www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

In 1984, Francis Crick described a biological conundrum: Memories last years, while most molecules degrade in days or weeks. “How then is memory stored in the brain so that its trace is relatively immune to molecular turnover?” he wrote in Nature. www.quantamagazine.org/the-molecula...

Our latest work extends ketamine’s antidepressant action and highlights the importance of a specific form of synaptic plasticity in the effects www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
