New Episode Alert! Why do we make the choices we do — and what really drives them? Dr. Jaime Castrellon joins us to unpack the neuroscience of decision-making, from dopamine and emotions to courtroom bias.

🎧 Haven’t heard this one yet? Dr. Vishnu Murty (Univ. of Oregon) breaks down how emotions and goals shape memory—and what it means for PTSD, psychosis & decision-making. Listen here: open.spotify.com/episode/3PLv... #NeuroPodcast #MemoryResearch #PTSD

Rugg & Renoult review the cognitive neuroscience of episodic memory representations. Active representations must have a causal link to a past event to count as a memory, the basis for this linkage is the reinstatement framework. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New episode out now! On this special episode, we honor the life & legacy of Dr. Eleanor Maguire. Dr. Michael Rugg, Director of the CVL, joins us for a heartfelt reflection on her pioneering work & enduring influence. Listen now: open.spotify.com/episode/5KLZ... #EleanorMaguire #Podcast

We honor the legacy of Dr. Eleanor Maguire, a visionary cognitive neuroscientist whose work transformed our understanding of memory, imagination, and navigation. Dr. Michael Rugg joins us to reflect on her groundbreaking research and lasting impact. Stay tuned for the full episode!

I'm thrilled that my first first-author paper in @fnim-lab.bsky.social is now out! We found that whole-brain cortical volume predicted the strength of neural reinstatement of scene information in the parahippocampal and medial place areas (PPA & MPA in the figure below). (1/2)

Strikingly, we also found that cortical volume fully mediated the commonly observed association between age and reinstatement in these regions, meaning differences in reinstatement were explained by cortical volume, independently of age. Check out the paper here: doi.org/10.1093/cerc... (2/2)

New preprint! We found that age differences in the neural reinstatement of scene information are fully mediated by whole-brain cortical volume. We also found that reinstatement strength in the parahippocampal place area was associated with memory performance independently of volume and age.
