Harvard’s response is hot!

Great sign!

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Spread the word. Power to the people.

Spot on.

This is who is trying to take over America right now. This is called oligarchy. Time to prepare for the fight.

It’s going to be ok, right?

If you use BOLD based fMRI in your research, take a moment to wish Seiji Ogawa a happy 91st birthday on Sunday, Jan 19th. His research launched thousands of careers and provided an invaluable to look inside our brains.

Now out in Nature Mental Health! @natureportfolio.bsky.social Are memory impairments in schizophrenia linked to delusions? Yes, if we test mnemonic discrimination of similar items. See the paper for hipp function, med effect etc. With amazing @liladavachi.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s44...

🎈New paper🎈 Led by the inimitable @asieh.bsky.social Hippocampal dysfunction in medication naive patients with schizophrenia during a memory task resolves with drug treatment. Incredible team effort! urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=htt...

A fitting tribute to a wonderful scientist and person

Thinking of friends and colleagues in the LA area today. Stay safe! ❤️

Ants best humans at test of collective intelligence "When people work together, they can achieve great things. But if they can’t talk, they’re not necessarily smarter than ants" Original paper www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... News www.science.org/content/arti...

Can dreams help us see memory consolidation as it unfolds in the sleeping brain? In this new paper, we describe how dreams reactivate multiple memories simultaneously, combining fragments of recent and remote memory in a way that may be adaptive. 1/2 #SleepPeeps #neuroskyence #psychscisky

Cool illusion I’m experiencing. Home from the dentist, left lower lip numb. Drinking from a can of LaCroix and I’m perceiving the can to have a lip-sized groove taken out of it. Using sensory feedback to determine the shape of an object! Really cool!

The sunsets in NYC do not disappoint…

I want to draw attention to a special issue that Lila Davachi and I put together to memorialize our friend and colleague Sarah DuBrow. It’s full of papers inspired by her work and her being from a group of collaborators, friends, and fans! Thanks @bradpostle.bsky.social for helping make this happen.
