#JNeurosci: Results from Hall-McMaster, @nicoschuck.bsky.social, @gershbrain.bsky.social et al suggest the entorhinal cortex might highlight aspects of past experiences that can be generalized, allowing us to make effective decisions in new environments https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.1492-25.2025

In a new computational analysis of previous work, this study shows that a control-free mechanism better accounts for value-based decisions than an account that assumes top-down control invigorating the best choice. @hritz.bsky.social @ashenhav.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Our experiences have countless details, and it can be hard to know which matter. How can we behave effectively in the future when, right now, we don't know what we'll need? Out today in @nathumbehav.nature.com , @marcelomattar.bsky.social and I find that people solve this by using episodic memory.

When a brain researcher solved a logistical problem by going rogue, the idea proved remarkably infectious. By @lyrebard.bsky.social #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/brain-imagin...

🚨New Paper Alert!🚨 Now out in Emotion! The Memory Palace Architect: Effect of Valence on Loci-Dependent Recall Performance. We ask a simple question: does the emotional tone of a memory palace matter for recall? Turns out: yes—and negative palaces work best.

I'm looking to hire a postgraduate research associate in Computational Psychiatry for my new lab at Yale. Please see link below for details & help RT 🙏 postdocs.yale.edu/posts/2026-0...

My lab is recruiting a postdoc and a full-time research technician to work on an NIH-funded project studying age-related changes in memory for naturalistic events. Behavior, fMRI, and blood-based biomarkers. 3+ years funding guaranteed. Postdoc: tinyurl.com/ykjfbnj8 Tech: tinyurl.com/2f2hw3f5

Fresh off the press from all-star post-doc Blake Elliott: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... We show that the HPC supports coincidence detection across VTA and lPFC in service of novelty-evoked invigoration. Stay-tuned for how these circuits are altered in psychosis risk.

Couldn't believe my eyes-- a new opportunity at NSF, in these times?! www.nsf.gov/funding/oppo...

How does cortisol tune brain networks to form strong emotional memories? Excited to share new work led by amazing former RA Flory Huang w collabs Rajita Sinha and @toddc.bsky.social #neuroskyence www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

We are excited to announce that the Cognitive Computational Neuroscience meeting (CCN 2026) will be held at New York University from August 3–6, 2026. 2026.ccneuro.org

🏆 #CNS2026 Young Investigator Award Winners 🏆 Congratulations to Monica Rosenberg and Samuel D. McDougle, recipients of the 2026 Young Investigator Award! 🎉 We look forward to their award lectures at the CNS 2026 Annual Meeting in Vancouver, BC, Canada! 🇨🇦✨ @cogneuronews.bsky.social

I'm recruiting PhD students for my lab at Northwestern! I'm reviewing applications for the Department of Psychology for the Cognitive Affective Neuroscience and Clinical areas, due 12/1. 🧠 Come join the CATS Lab: nucatslab.com Learn about our latest research: iamh.northwestern.edu/research/res...

A new study in 'Nature Human Behavior' led by UChicago researchers combines fMRI data and natural language processing to understand how emotions lead to enhanced memory encoding, or "stickiness." Learn more: bit.ly/3Lec2Gf @jadynpark.bsky.social @ycleong.bsky.social

I will be recruiting 🌟PhD students🌟 for my newish lab! If you're interested in learning & memory mechanisms applied to individual, interactive & collective behavior using computational modeling, real-world experiments and fMRI, email me! RTs much appreciated 🙏 rouhanilab.com

Feeling major FOMO missing #CCN25. But I get to live vicariously through y’all who are there. So go check out our poster C57 that Euan is presenting Friday afternoon!

Very happy to see this work with Euan Prentis posted! If you’re going to CCN next week, go check out Euan’s poster on this work!

I’m just gonna leave this one here.. seems very apropo today

I'm hiring a full-time lab manager / research tech for my new psychology lab at Boston University, to start this summer (July 2025)! The lab's research focuses on understanding developmental changes in learning, memory, and exploration. More details here: cldlab.org/join/ 🧠💻 #psychscisky

At #SFN24? Come check out a super exciting nano I am co-chairing with @katieinsel.bsky.social, NANO07 today 10/5 at 1pm in room N228. Killer lineup: eppro02.ativ.me/appinfo.php?... #SFN24

My lab is recruiting a full-time research specialist to begin summer/fall 2024. More information here: www.crockettlab.org/research-spe... Please share!

Come join us! Wei Ji Ma and I are recruiting a postdoc to study human planning in chess using a massive dataset of online chess matches. The postdoc will join both of our labs, as well as an NSF-funded collaboration with Tom Griffith's lab at Princeton. Apply at: apply.interfolio.com/139253

Really happy to see this paper posted! Thank you Ariel, Mike, and Daphna for keeping this super fun collaboration alive! The paper boast a super simple & elegant model for how subjective values fluctuate over time and captured by a very cool correlated-evidence DDM. Check it out!

New preprint with @nathanieldaw.bsky.social and Daphna Shohamy! We often have to make choices we've never made before. One way to do so is by knitting together relevant memories to form new relationships. When do people access their memories to construct preferences?

! Job alert ! Our postdoc position at the UCL Learning Memory & Decision lab is open for applications! Please see the ad here: t.ly/gLGHu The ad currently closes on January 2nd. Experts in memory or decision-making and imaging (& behavior), please apply!  See thread below.  Please share!

For my first post on bsky I am thrilled to advertise an NIMH-funded open postdoc position in my lab in collaboration with Jen Wildes at UChicago. Please spread the word! For more info and instructions to apply, please see: bakkourlab.uchicago.edu/join-us/post...
