In our recent @cp-trendsneuro.bsky.social forum article www.cell.com/trends/neuro..., we highlight respiration's potential role in coordinating sleep oscillations and memory consolidation. With the fabulous @tschreiner.bsky.social and @estebanbt.bsky.social

Just found out NIH has officially canceled our grant, a longitudinal study of Alzheimer's disease in Black Americans. I cannot even put into words how angry I am. The truth is they are canceling it because it has Black in the title. That's it, there is no other reason to do this.

Why do we not remember being a baby? One idea is that the hippocampus, which is essential for episodic memory in adults, is too immature to form individual memories in infancy. We tested this using awake infant fMRI, new in @science.org #ScienceResearch www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

New preprint together with Jingyuan Ren, @dresler.bsky.social and others on unique neural representations in one’s “memory palace” 🧠

Sam Gershman writes beautifully about how theory-free neuroscience prevents the field from reaching its promise. Beautiful and true. Most folks do not test hypotheses. Running a NHST does not a hypothesis make. www.thetransmitter.org/theoretical-...

I've written a free and accessible guide to Cephalopod Sentience with Alex Schnell, Piero Amodio and Peter Morse, stunningly illustrated by Roksolana Tkach. Please download and share! It's worth it for the illustrations alone! 🐙 thebrooksinstitute.org/sites/defaul...

Updated from the preprint, our paper, "Spatiotemporal analysis of gene expression in the human dentate gyrus reveals age-associated changes in cellular maturation and neuroinflammation" is now published. www.cell.com/cell-reports...

The Lancet, considered by some to be the world's leading medical journal (no, it is not a radical-Marxist-left-wing-rag), is living up to its well-deserved reputation and is not mincing words about the Musk administration's actions and their consequences: www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Check out this issue of Hippocampus dedicated to recollections of big milestones in memory, hippocampus, and LTP research! I'm to read Elisabeth Murray on studies challenging the role of the hippocampus in anterograde amnesia. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/toc/10.1... #neuroskyence

After years of work designing and running this study with a multi-University team, we have our first preprint 🎉🎉 showing how a memorization technique builds neural representations through conjunctive representations! See thread and preprint link ⬇️

SPM goes Python for its 30 year anniversary! Great news for #neuroimaging! 👍
