Dorsoventral hippocampus neural assemblies reactivate during sleep following an aversive experience by @ggirardeau.bsky.social and team www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🔔PREPRINT: Sleep ripples drive single-neuron reactivation for human memory consolidation 1/9: How does sleep support human memory consolidation? To test this, we recorded hundreds of neurons in the human medial temporal lobe (MTL) across learning, wakefulness, and sleep. doi.org/10.64898/202...

🥁🎉The Psychosis Collective proudly presents our first preprint 𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐳𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐬𝐲𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐬-𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝘈 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘫𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘺 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘴 starring Le He & Harriet Feldman www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... We wanted to understand how antipsychotics work. Thread🧵

🧠💤 New paper out in @plosbiology.org! Together with Adriana Michalak (@dr-adri.bsky.social), Davide Marzoli, Francesco Pietrogiacomi et al., we show that dreaming, especially immersive dreaming, plays a key role in how deep sleep feels. 🔗 doi.org/10.1371/jour... @erc.europa.eu #ERC-StG #sleep

How does the brain build a memory? A common assumption is that the neurons activated during an experience collectively form the memory engram. In our new Nature Neuroscience paper (finally out!), we show that this is not the case. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Every time you experience something new, your brain faces a decision: Should it update an existing memory or create a new one? In our new paper in @sfnjournals.bsky.social #JNeurosci, we isolate that exact decision, moment-by-moment during learning 🧵

Today we present another of our amazing speakers: @anne-schreiter.bsky.social the executive director from @gso-forresearchers.bsky.social. She will give us an interactive workshop about Leadership and Team-building. Register to our @fens.org Satellite 👉 youngpisymposium2026.com

The deadline for our young PI symposium was extended! Don't miss out on this opportunity to build your community and share strategies to navigate these uncertain times.

Human hippocampal theta–gamma coupling coordinates sequential planning during navigation Impressive study from Dan Bush's Lab at UCL: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Awesome new opportunity to join SWC if you are into human ephys.

Do you work or study in the fields of psychology, neuroscience, computer science, artificial intelligence, or philosophy? What does the term 'representation' mean to you? We invite you to participate in a brief survey on key conceptual questions across fields. eu.surveymonkey.com/r/VX9GNXM

Thrilled that my paper is out in the @nature.com. We explored how the brain builds complex tasks by compositionally combining simpler sub-task representations. The brain flexibly performs multiple tasks by dynamically reusing neural subspaces for sensory inputs and motor actions rdcu.be/eRVUk

New paper alert! 🚨 We found that the brain's compass is remarkably stable at two scales 1️⃣ the system maintains its internal organization for weeks 2️⃣ It "remembers" its orientation for weeks, even after a single visit This may be key to how the brain aligns its other maps. Paper: rdcu.be/e3waP

Can we make brains “smarter”? By boosting mitochondrial metabolism in neurons of memory circuits, we improved memory in flies and mice. Thrilled to see this work out - congrats to @amrapalianjali.bsky.social for spectacular work, and to all lab members for invaluable contributions!

Why did consciousness evolve at all? A superb special issue of @royalsocietypublishing.org brings together experts across disciplines to explore the functions of consciousness and why it emerged in some species but not others. @tecumsehfitch.bsky.social royalsocietypublishing.org/rstb/issue/3...

"..hippocampal-prefrontal systems represent emotion concepts in a map-like way at multiple levels of abstraction.." Map-like representations of emotion knowledge in hippocampal-prefrontal systems by @yumengma.bsky.social and @pkragel.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

My lab is looking to recruit 1-2 paid summer interns to do wet lab work on learning in a unicellular organism (Stentor coeruleus). You can apply here: forms.gle/b47WpSobjFjo...

Most people can call up pictures in their minds, visualizing the past & summoning images of the future. But for ~4% of us, such mental imagery is weak or absent. New edition of @nature.com has a nice introduction to how research on this phenomenon (aphantasia) opens up novel windows into the brain.🧪

Infraslow modulation of theta synchrony in the hippocampus circuit during REM sleep https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.01.30.702893v1

Attention-like regulation of theta sweeps in the brain's spatial navigation circuit https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.01.27.702083v1

This is totally wild. Remember the object they are attending to is presented egocentrically, but the allocentric theta sweeps follow it. The whole system is wired up to provide something like an "integrated attention reflex".

Deadline is almost here, have you applied? fenskavlinetwork.org/who-we-are/a...

Sequential coupling of sleep oscillations enables concept-neuron reactivation and supports information flow across the human hippocampal-cortical circuit https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.01.15.699122v1

Can humans & animals really use internal maps to take shortcuts? Tolman famously said yes - based largely on his Sunburst maze. Our new review & meta-analysis suggests evidence is far weaker than you might think. 🧵👇 doi.org/10.1111/ejn.... @uofgpsychneuro.bsky.social @ejneuroscience.bsky.social

Very happy for this @ejneuroscience.bsky.social editorial on the importance of diverse research animals in neuroscience. We make the case that embracing a plurality of model organisms enriches the field and accelerates both basic and translational research. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

❄️ A Year of #FENS: @fkne-scholars.bsky.social ❄️ 🧠 #FKNE has continued throughout 2025 to champion excellence in European neuroscience by supporting researchers and strengthening scientific leadership across Europe 👉 Learn more about #FKNE here: buff.ly/2EWch1g

⚠️ New paper alert and what a way to end 2025! 🎉 Happy to share our story “Sleep-dependent infraslow rhythms are evolutionarily conserved across reptiles and mammals.” published today in Nature Neuroscience. Sleeping dragons 🦎 and functional ultrasound! Read the full paper here: rdcu.be/eWJHb 1/8

Deadline is approaching too fast!! Don’t miss it!

It's an important conversation for society to have - that ethical trade-off that @micheleabasso.bsky.social describes and you point to. As we have it, we need to acknowledge that without animal research, new treatments for neurodegenerative and psychiatric conditions will be blocked/stalled.

Share and apply!

Another new paper from the lab: Predictive theories like the SR imply that navigators who navigate differently should have cognitive maps which differ in predictable ways. Here we show that this holds in mouse hippocampal CA1. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The @eara.eu Conference 2025: “Shaping the Future of Animal Research Communication” is underway at #mdcBerlin! Our Scientific Director, Maike Sander, welcomed participants to #CampusBuch, and Fiona Fox, Chief Executive of the UK Science Media Centre, just finished today's first keynote. #EARA2025

Lively discussions at the @eara.eu conference 2025 continued with Session 1: "Effective Science Communication and Media." Great energy inside and outside #mdcBerlin's conference center on #CampusBuch – from engaging panels and flash talks to exhibition and lunch break moments. 👇👇 #EARA2025

(1/2) Fiona Fox, from the Science Media Centre, talked about the risks of not talking about animal research, highlighting how #openness from UK researchers, supported by the SMC, changed the tone of media #press. #EARA2025 #keynote
