🧠🚨 How does the hippocampus transform the visual similarity space to resolve memory interference? In this new preprint, we found that the hippocampus sequentially inverts the behaviorally relevant dimensions of similarity 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Super excited for this paper from postdoc @grahamflick.bsky.social who has used eye tracking and MEG to better understand how the timing of our eye movements can affect our visual perception and memory.

🚨 New preprint alert! Excited to share our latest work on alpha/beta activity, eye movements, and memory. Across 4 experiments combining scalp EEG/iEEG with eye tracking, we show that alpha/beta activity directly reflects eye movements, and only indirectly relates to memory. 👇 Highlights (1/7):

We loved Dr Joana Cabral's excellent keynote at #OHBM2025 In our latest #BrainBite, we created a summary of some of her work, written for non-experts. Could slow rhythmic brain waves be key to understanding cognition? Read the article here: www.ohbm-com.com/brain-bites/...

That's a wrap on #OHBM2025! I taught in an educational course on hippocampal neuroanatomy and gave a symposium talk on the role of medial temporal lobe subregions in associative inference

This is your quarterly reminder that the hippocampus is a cortical (not subcortical) structure! Nicola Palomero-Gallagher underscored this point during our #OHBM2025 educational course!

"It takes a village to raise a child." Thanks to all the members of the SP-SIG and everyone who has helped behind the scenes with the upcoming events at #OHBM2025

A new #Neurosalience episode is out! 🧠 The hippocampus, aging, memory and discovery with Rosanna Olsen and Peter Bandettini @rosannaolsen.bsky.social @fmri-today.bsky.social youtu.be/cvPjImt9iv8

Coming to #OHBM2025 from the mountains of northern Italy, Prof. Alessandro Gozzi (@gozziale.bsky.social) shares his path from pharma to pioneering rodent fMRI, and how preclinical imaging can answer causal questions in neuroscience. 🎤 www.ohbm-com.com/blog/a-conve...

Thanks @fmri-today.bsky.social for the interview! I really enjoyed sharing my work on your podcast.

If you want to add something fun to your experience at OHBM in Brisbane, take part in this competition! All invited! We are judging more on the skill in presenting and communicating and less on the content.

CIHR-IA 2025 Summer Program in Aging "by the Numbers" 🔶 5 planning committee members + 🔷 10 mentors + 🔶 40 trainees + 🔷 60 speakers = 115 unique contributors ‼️

Proud to see our team at the CIHR-IA #SPA2025 in Toronto this week, where @nurselillian.bsky.social joined Bubli Chakraborty and Lynn Jackson to share how co-research with people living with dementia can advance equity in aging.

New MEG paper by @jhaarsma.bsky.social and @dotproduct.bsky.social‬! Same design and behavioural results as our 7T layer fMRI study (www.jneurosci.org/content/43/4...), but now shedding light on the temporal dynamics of the sensory signals underlying false percepts. #neuroskyence

For anyone in the memory field, an incredible summary and tribute to Endel Tulving from Gus Craik. Read it for the writing alone. royalsocietypublishing.org/action/oidcS...

I really enjoyed hosting this workshop which featured a variety of #DataScience approaches to studying brain aging! Thanks to the DSI at @uoft.bsky.social for funding this initiative!

Looking forward to hosting an exciting workshop, "Advanced Data Science Approaches to Studying the Aging Brain" next Thursday, May 29 at the Data Sciences Institute, University of Toronto. @uoft.bsky.social #datascience Registration details are here: datasciences.utoronto.ca/aging_ai_wor...

The first day of #CAOS2025 finish with a talk by Roberto Bottini @bottinilab.bsky.social expanding the idea of cognitive spaces in multiple novel directions. Among others, he shows when people randomly name colors the order predicts small eye movements related to color categories in cognitive space.

Deaths from heart disease down 75%, that’s NIH. Deaths from stroke down 75%, that’s NIH. HIV/AIDS no longer a death sentence, that’s NIH. 99% of FDA approved drugs in the last decade, that’s NIH. Please show this video to anyone who doesn’t understand why the NIH is so important.

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! 🙂

I think ultra-high field MRI will be shifting toward ~0.35 mm voxels, even in routine use. This isn't just sharper images. We now directly see cortical layers, veins... It’s a leap, not a tweak. A few already crossed this threshold, but now it's becoming practical. More: doi.org/10.1101/2025...

🧠 New preprint alert! @carleton-cogsci.bsky.social PhD student Salah Aziz and our fantastic team tracked hippocampal changes over time in >1,300 individuals using surface-based morphometry (SBM). Here's what we found—and why it matters for Alzheimer’s research 🧵 [1/]
