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

Please repost! Our deadline is fast approaching for a 20-month postdoc position leading an fMRI project on the neurodevelopment of metacognition and curiosity. Join a great lab with fantastic collaborators! 🙂

Very excited and honoured to receive this prize and looking forward to giving an award talk at the @bapsych.bsky.social Summer meeting in Manchester!

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

Very happy to share our new preprint revealing no evidence for a targeted memory reactivation (TMR) effect on word-meaning priming (1/8): osf.io/preprints/ps...

📢 New preprint from the lab: We are very excited to report the discovery of an oscillation in the Central Thalamus using rare direct recordings of human thalamic electrophysiology. The novel oscillation is tightly coupled to specific, natural states of consciousness.🧵

Go work with Anna!

Shakespeare called sleep the “balm of hurt minds.” Sleep deprivation increases susceptibility to intrusive memories of traumatic experiences by disrupting prefrontal inhibition of memory retrieval during REM, according to an MRI study. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/full/10....

Suppressing memories promotes resilience! Terrorist attack survivors who recovered from PTSD showed normalised inhibitory control of the hippocampus during retrieval stopping before intrusive memory declines, mitigating hippocampal atrophy. #memory #PTSD #neuroskyence www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer. These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP. You can follow his remarkable reporting here👇 www.instagram.com/ethanswopeph...

Why do we suffer from more intrusive thoughts when we're sleep deprived? Find out in this SciAm article on our latest work by @rachelnuwer.bsky.social, featuring @zarabergstrom.bsky.social and @marwimber.bsky.social www.scientificamerican.com/article/bad-...

Can someone forget much of their life? Yes! In Psychogenic amnesia, extreme stress leads to the loss of years of memories, including all the people the patient knows. Why? Read about what we have discovered in @laura-marsh.bsky.social‬ 's new paper or in the outstanding thread below #neuroskyence

Dr. Alkalame and colleagues examined the association between REM sleep prior to analog trauma and intrusive memories. Findings suggest REM sleep may serve to protect individuals against experiencing intrusive memories. academic.oup.com/sleep/articl...

Late post due to Christmas vacation, but more great work from @emmacsullivan.bsky.social showing that good quality sleep and adaptive emotion regulation strategies independently reduce the persistence of negative affect doi.org/10.1080/0269...

Our work on inductive biases in reinforcement learning is out: tinyurl.com/yfc74e3u By the fantastic @noahedrich.bsky.social Ppl learn faster from slowly changing features; we argue this reflects an inductive bias. Teamwork w @ericschulz.bsky.social & S HallMcMaster #neuroskyence #compneuro

I guess I should finally post something here. We recently reviewed what is currently known on how psychedelics acutely & post-acutely impact fear conditioning, extinction learning, episodic memory, & semantic memory & how such fx may speak to PTSD treatment. link.springer.com/article/10.1... 1/10

Thought I'd give this a go. My friend said it took some getting used to, so let's see. Happy to chat the usual cog neuro, memory, sleep, mental health...
