Congratulations to the brilliant Xinyue (Joy) Zhang on passing her PhD viva with flying colours and no corrections! Many thanks to her wise examiners Ed Wilding and @chrismbird.bsky.social. It's been a pleasure to have you in our lab, @xyzhang.bsky.social!

I wrote a thing on episodic memory and systems consolidation. I hope you all enjoy it and/or find it interesting. A neural state space for episodic memories www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #neuroskyence #psychscisky #cognition 🧪

The brain represents the world around us as a series of neural states - stable patterns of activity that change as we move from one event to the next. New paper by @selmalugtmeijer.bsky.social showing that neural states get longer as people age. #PsychSciSky nature.com/articles/s42003-025-08792-4

📣 Helpful thread about a great paper alert! Okay - I am biased, but I am super proud of this paper and @dkvarga.bsky.social has done a truly awesome job of running this project (3 separate fMRI studies!). Thanks also to our amazing colleagues for their support.

We make predictions based on general knowledge and/or specific memories. Different brain areas are active when these distinct predictions are violated – and hippocampus selectively responds to prediction errors based on episodic memory. Cool work by @chrismbird.bsky.social @ayab.bsky.social et al!

Proud to share the first preprint of my PhD w/ @barense.bsky.social & Mursal Jahed: “Putting the testing effect to the test in the wild: Retrieval enhances real-world memories and promotes their semantic integration while preserving episodic integrity” See thread! 🧵 osf.io/preprints/ps...

New preprint! How do we integrate new information into prior knowledge? We find that existing knowledge enables rapid new learning but that interleaved replay during sleep promotes integration of new and old information. Modeling suggests a sleep context suppression mechanism. osf.io/preprints/ps...

It's such a shame this article is framed by the headline as being about screens, when actually its about the paucity of outdoor space for play, and lack of time within education settings to make the most of what little outdoor space there is. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Medial temporal cortex supports object perception by integrating over visuospatial sequences www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Looks like an interesting study from @dyamins.bsky.social and colleagues

Really nice study led by Claire Lancaster and supported by other brilliant Sussex colleagues - in particular former PhD student Jess Daly. Greebles task is sensitive to subtle perceptual deficits in APOE e4 carriers in mid-life (which get worse with age and number of e4 alleles).

We recently published a new paper investigating APOE effects in Cam-CAN @camcan-2010.bsky.social movie dataset. Examining various measures we failed to find any APOE effects in healthy individuals. You can read more about it in the paper doi.org/10.1177/2398... or the thread below

New paper led by @silvia-anderle.bsky.social Lifestyle matters for genetic Alzheimer’s disease risk: APOE4 reduces neurovascular function most in an already-stressed system,  when neurons are active and mice do less exercise. I'll tell you all about it! 🧪 #neuroscience #alzheimers rdcu.be/d74uh

Excited to share this perspective with @yaelniv.bsky.social about how schemas might be learned and instantiated via reinforcement learning, latent cause inference, and dimensionality reduction, and what's the medial prefrontal cortex might be doing for all of these www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🏆The BNS Elizabeth Warrington Prize 2025 will be awarded for distinguished work in neuropsychology/neuroscience by a person at an early stage in their career. 🧠 Call for nominations now open! Deadline: April 1st. ⏱️ More info: www.the-bns.org/prizes #neuroskyence #psychscisky

Great work and top-notch thread skills from @kasiamojescik.bsky.social ! Please take a look if you're a fan of memory, aging, subjective experience, or all three! #PsychSkySci #neuroskyence

Check out this epic sleep DRM false memory registered report from the amazing @matthewmakpsy.bsky.social! #neuroskyence #psychscisky #cognition

It was a joy to read this in a lab journal club. A really nice study with important implications for both event processing and decision making. And such a clever design! Top marks for all involved! "Visual event boundaries restrict anchoring effects in decision-making" #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky

Attention neuroscientsts! We just launched Neurosynth Compose: A free and open platform for neuroimaging meta-analysis. NS-Compose makes it easy to perform custom neuroimaging meta-analyses without leaving the browser. It's live, check it out! compose.neurosynth.org

Hello everyone My first post on bluesky: I'm a cognitive neuroscience researcher working on the effects of physical exercise and sleep on our brains and memories. Besides that I'm interested in European and global politics, elite sports (mainly swimming and trail running) and classical music.

Hopefully dropping a new preprint next week by the amazing @akulsatish.bsky.social. Using MEG to reveal the oscillatory dynamics involved in spatial learning, building on our previous fMRI experiment by @samberens.bsky.social: direct.mit.edu/jocn/article... #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky #Cognition

Jumping on the bandwagon... Hi I'm Hugo Spiers, PI of the Spatial Cognition Lab @ University College London. I research the neural basis of spatial navigation & memory. I play with VR, mobile apps, fMRI, GPS-tracking, agent based modelling, and recently fNIRS. I lack all skills in sourdough baking.

Our latest paper was in the news 👀 We've created a score that combines 11 clinical/lifestyle factors to predict dementia risk. Score developed in UK Biobank, validated in Whitehall-II cohort, & outperforms 3 widely-used dementia risk scores. www.google.com/amp/s/amp.th...

New week, new preprint! Big thanks to Bardur Joensen & Jennifer Ashton for driving this project forward. A continued but non-necessary role for hippocampal pattern completion in holistic episodic retrieval following consolidation www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #neuroskyence #psychscisky

There doesn't seem to be much bragging about papers going on here, so allow me... Big new study from us about how messing about with the natural endpoints of events affects our memory for them. Work by Petar Raykov and Dominika Varga psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...
