The Laboratory of Brain and Cognition at NIH is hosting a two-day symposium on 'Foundations and Frontiers in Cognitive Neuroscience' in honor of Dr. Alex Martin, to be held at NIH (with online videocast) on April 7th-8th, 2026. Register to attend online or in-person at: bit.ly/4bYlbxw

Explain to Congress how important it is to keep multiyear funding of NIH grants in the funding bill. This protects against Russell Vought's trick, which is to make this year's NIH budget cover multiple years of research in advance. Tell your Congresscritter. US Capitol switchboard: 202-224-3121.

this was my first project upon coming to grad school in nyc from north carolina, and directly came out of giving myself the formidable – though gloriously concrete – task of reading everything @joeydunsmoor.bsky.social ever wrote.

New lab paper: "Emotional learning selectively distorts the temporal organization of memory: A quantitative synthesis." Across 17 different studies, fear conditioning consistently distorted temporal source memory for information encoded before and after. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New paper alert. 🚨 Lock your doors. 🔐 Hug your dog 🐕 Neural Reinstatement of Encoding Context Mediates the Switch between Fear and Extinction Recall. direct.mit.edu/jocn/article...

Today we open-sourced a new project for developing behavioral experiments online. It is called Smile. Announcement of v0.1.0: todd.gureckislab.org/2025/07/22/s... Smile has been used internally in my lab for several years and has substantially increased our productivity.

I haven't posted on here much, but this new paper from the lab seems like as good reason as any: How the nature of weak learning and retention interval affects behavioral tagging of episodic memory. psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-...

What happens if you inhibit the amygdala during the formation of emotional episodic memories? Simple answer, right? We thought so too but ended up finding memory enhancements after inhibiting the amygdala via transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS). 1/2 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Where does TrumpElon think innovation for all their favorite biotech corporations comes from? PCR only exists because somebody was looking for bacteria in hot springs at Yellowstone. I’m just a private practice ophthalmologist who barely understands p values but even I know this shit is important.

ICYMI: Sen. Ted Cruz flagged thousands of National Science Foundation grants for using words like “female” and “diversify.” A ProPublica analysis found numerous examples of projects caught up in his crude method for identifying research he calls “woke.”

#HiSciSky! I'm a clinical psy sci postdoc at UT w/ master of fear @joeydunsmoor.bsky.social. I study threat generalization + psychopathology using fMRI + quant modeling + HiTOP + psychometrics. On the faculty job market! Most importantly, have a dog named Frank. #psychscisky #clinpsy #neuroskyence

I’m excited to announce the Adaptive Memory Lab is moving to Univ. of Oregon summer 2024. I’ve been a lucky duck to forge such great relationships at Temple and am looking forward to developing new ones. I’ll be recruiting grad students next year so feel free to reach out. #OMG/OregonMemoryGroup
