🔔 Preprint: “Hippocampal ripples evoke a stereotyped cortical response followed by spindle-mediated network synchronization.” Combining iEEG+scalp EEG during sleep, we show that hippocampal ripples leave a decodable cortical fingerprint and are followed by brain-wide spindle synchronization!

How do experiences reshape our internal representations of the world? @bstaresina.bsky.social &co show that learning sequential experiences reshapes how the #brain represents what we see; a post-learning nap strengthens these predictive changes @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4dJGwMC

Exciting results from the truly amazing ‪@mskehl.bsky.social‬!

Ripple oscillations are central for memory and sleep. But ripple detection in humans remains challenging. Here we introduce a simulation approach in @natcomms.nature.com as common ripple detectors mainly pick up 1/f noise and not genuine oscillations 👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #neuroskyence

Last week to apply! Cognitive Neuroscience Research Laboratory Manager at @oxexppsy.bsky.social (with links to @oxcin.bsky.social and @ox.ac.uk) www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DPZ833/c...

How are memories consolidated during sleep? Excited to share another preprint: hippocampal SWRs route memory content to the cortex via interregional co-reactivation of concept cells, optimized by slow-oscillation–spindle coupling. With the great @tschreiner.bsky.social @humansingleneuron.bsky.social

I'm happy to share my debut as first-author with the recent publication of our article in #JNeurosci: www.jneurosci.org/content/earl... Big thanks again to @tschreiner.bsky.social and the whole team who made this possible! 🧠🌬️

Well done Pin-Chun! Thanks also to @oxexppsy.bsky.social, @oxcin.bsky.social, and @erc.europa.eu

Check out our new paper! We evaluate what we know (and don't know) about the link between memory consolidation during sleep and next-day learning 👇

Excited to be back to SoCal at #HSN2025 and #SfN2025 to present my recent work with @bstaresina.bsky.social. Pls come say hi. Would love to connect!

Please repost! I am looking for a PhD candidate in the area of Computational Cognitive Neuroscience to start in early 2026. The position is funded as part of the Excellence Cluster "The Adaptive Mind" at @jlugiessen.bsky.social. Please apply here until Nov 25: www.uni-giessen.de/de/ueber-uns...

🚨Preprint: Semantic Tuning of Single Neurons in the Human Medial Temporal Lobe 1/8: How do human neurons encode meaning? In this work, led by Katharina Karkowski, we recorded hundreds of human MTL neurons to study semantic coding in the human brain: doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Memory problems will change how you see the world...literally 👀 Across two new papers, we examined the eye movement patterns of younger adults, older adults, individuals with mild cognitive impairment, and amnesic cases. 1/5

New position, new social media account. After 5 fantastic years in Tuebingen, I moved to @yale.edu and the @wutsaiyale.bsky.social this summer - which means that I’ll be recruiting PhD students and postdocs. Please help me to spread the word and see current opportunities below 👇

** We have up to TWO funded PhD positions available in our lab!! Apply below to find new ways to enhance memory👇 Pls retweet ** Deadline: 2nd December 1. Cross-species closed-loopTMR: tinyurl.com/bddu4tp6 2. TUS and TMR in humans: tinyurl.com/jjws5ctj Happy to chat to interested applicants.

Amazing work by a true rising star!

Just published my first paper! Really grateful to everyone at the plasticity lab @oxcin.bsky.social who made this possible. huge thanks to my co-authors — couldn’t have done it without you. If you want to check it out: 📄 paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I’m looking for a postdoc and RA for an ERC-funded project “SLEEPAWAY: Forgetting unwanted memories in sleep”. You’ll use MEG/EEG and fMRI to understand how the sleeping brain remembers and forgets. PLEASE REPOST 😊 Postdoc: tinyurl.com/vr5thp7s RA: tinyurl.com/ycyzkatc

New paper out in SLEEP @sleepjournals.bsky.social! In his study, Jude Thom shows how cortical regions excited by tDCS before sleep express more spindles during subsequent sleep. doi.org/10.1093/slee... @oxexppsy.bsky.social @oxcin.bsky.social @ukri.org

Excited to share our new study on how respiration modulates neural dynamics during successful memory retrieval—led by @estebanbt.bsky.social, alongside the exceptional team of @fabian31415.bsky.social, @maritpetzka.bsky.social, @tobiasstaudigl.bsky.social, and @bstaresina.bsky.social. 👇

We are delighted to announce the first OPM-FLUX toolkit to be held 9th-12th June 2025 at St. Catherine's College at University of Oxford: neuosc.com/fluxtoolkit2...

🎉 Big shoutout to our amazing lab members who presented their posters at #CNS2025! 🎉 So great to see @mskehl.bsky.social , @manqisha.bsky.social , @xianhuihe.bsky.social and Mathew Thomas Kollamkulam showcasing their hard work and research! 🧠 Some behind-the-scenes shots of them in action 👇

'A role for respiration in coordinating sleep oscillations and memory consolidation' by Fabian Schwimmbeck, Esteban Bullón Tarrasó & Thomas Schreiner @fabian31415.bsky.social @estebanbt.bsky.social @tschreiner.bsky.social www.cell.com/trends/neuro...

The Staresina Lab is ready for CNS 2025 in Boston!🇺🇸 If you are around come and check out our work at the following poster sessions: Poster Session C Poster C16: Coupled sleep rhythms in the human hippocampus support memory consolidation - Sha, Manqi

Preprint alert! 🚨 1/ How does deep sleep reshape our memories? Our new study shows that slow-wave sleep (SWS) reorganises episodic memory networks, shifting recall from the parietal cortex to the anterior temporal lobe (ATL). With Polina Perzich and @bstaresina.bsky.social . A thread below👇

Check out our TINS Forum article on the role of respiration in coordinating sleep oscillations and memory consolidation! Spearheaded by the great @fabian31415.bsky.social and @estebanbt.bsky.social A big thank you to our editor Moran Furman for making the whole journey very enjoyable #neuroskyence

What began as a slightly intoxicated walk on Huntington beach in California with my buddy @benjamingriffiths.bsky.social summer of 2023, ended in a published Opinion paper today in @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social, together with Daniel Reznik and Christian Doeller at @mpicbs.bsky.social.
