1/ 🚨 New preprint! 🚨 Excited and proud (& a little nervous 😅) to share our latest work on the importance of #theta-timescale spiking during #locomotion in #learning. If you care about how organisms learn, buckle up. 🧵👇 📄 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 💻 code + data 🔗 below 🤩 #neuroskyence

Ripple contributions to human memory: making the spiking content count — a Review by Joel Reithler, Kelsey K. Sundby & Kareem A. Zaghloul www.nature.com/articles/s41... #neuroscience #neuroskyence

In our Trends in Cogn Sci paper we point to the connectivity crisis in task-based human EEG/MEG research: many connectivity metrics, too little replication. Time for community-wide benchmarking to build robust, generalisable measures across labs & tasks. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A while in the making, here's a short paper on how one might get from spatial to episodic memory with temporal indexing, sequence generation via grid cell analogs, + a bit of perspective/review on time, wider HPC function ... psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...

Is the hippocampus best understood in term of discrete subfields or functional gradients? Functional gradients are recapitulated within each hippocampal subfield, supporting a role for both discrete & continuously changing computations. Neat work by Bouffard, @barense.bsky.social, & Moscovitch!

Excited to share our new paper w/ @cibaker.bsky.social in @natcomms.nature.com linking active vision & memory! We provide evidence that gaze reinstatement & neural reactivation are deeply related phenomena that jointly reflect the experiences constructed during recall. doi.org/10.1038/s414... 🧵1/9

I can't quite believe it – I got a new NSF grant! 😲🤯 I'm incredibly grateful to the program officers & reviewers for their dedication and efforts to keep science going 🌟👏🏼 So, I'll be hiring! Looking for a postdoc to study competition in memory-guided attention. See flyer for details! 🎉

Delighted to share our work on replay and successor representations! We find replay during very short task pauses in human visual cortex that is linked to learning SRs & happens when learning is implicit. Study led by @lnnrtwttkhn.bsky.social #compneuro #neuroskyence www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Cortico-hippocampal interactions underlie schema-supported memory encoding in older adults New paper led by @shenyanghuang.bsky.social! academic.oup.com/cercor/artic... Older adults' memory benefits from richer semantic contexts. We found connectivity patterns supporting this semantic scaffolding.

My new university's logo is a PSI! How frickin cool is that! Help me grow a new lab at in IU Bloomington! We're seeking brilliant young scientists interested in memory representations, neuromodulation & aging. Coordinator: bit.ly/3Hu3UzT Postdoc: bit.ly/4oBZF6j Accepting GS apps in the Fall!

🚨 New Preprint 🚨 Targeting intracranial electrical stimulation (ES) to network regions defined within individuals causes network-level effects By Cyr et al. *** Q: Can we use individualized network maps from precision fMRI to modulate a targeted network via intracranial ES? A: Yes! 🧵:

🚨 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):

Searching for a postdoc to work on 2 newly NIH-funded projects using intracranial EEG with TMS and direct electrical stimulation to investigate hippocampal networks supporting episodic memory. Research Scientist could also work for post-post-doc candidates. Plz spread! cnoir.bsd.uchicago.edu/join/

Hi Bluesky! First post here. Kicking things off with a new preprint. 🧠 Using human iEEG + pharmacology, we asked: is hippocampal theta required for retrieval? Turns out it’s not. Instead, it may reflect a reinstated encoding mode. Thread below. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Announcing - the 3rd annual Midway Meeting of the Memory Minds (Mmmm)! Chicago-area memory neuroscientists, please join us for a day of talks, discussions, and a keynote by none other than @earlkmiller.bsky.social ! Registration is free, but space is limited. forms.office.com/r/rMxqDQ4sZF

New results for a new year! “Linking neural population formatting to function” describes our modern take on an old question: how can we understand the contribution of a brain area to behavior? www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧠👩🏻‍🔬🧪🧵 #neuroskyence 1/

Can you predict the future? Your brain and your eyes can. 🧵 I had the honour of writing a @currentbiology.bsky.social Dispatch in which I discuss exciting new findings from @philippbuchel.bsky.social, Klingspohr, Kehl & Staresina (2024). Read the Dispatch here: doi.org/10.1016/j.cu... 1/3

Proud of my first contribution to memory research: “Brain and eye movement dynamics track the transition from learning to memory-guided action” out in @currentbiology.bsky.social, great team effort together with Janina Klingspohr, Marcel Kehl & Bernhard Staresina. www.cell.com/current-biol...
