🧠 What makes a memory stick? Not all neurons join a memory engram—only a select few. Our new study shows that the AMPA receptor subunit GluA1 keeps this process sparse and efficient. Without it, too many neurons activate, but memory gets worse! 🔗https://bit.ly/3CAx6TD

Sooo excited that my postdoc work with @sjo09.bsky.social is finally out! We explored the mechanisms behind stress-induced memory generalization, engram architecture, and the central role for endocannabinoids!
