Weโve got an exciting new thing to share! We have causal evidence (using TMR) that memory reactivation during sleep promotes abstract understanding of underlying structure, allowing transfer learning in a new domain with zero superficial feature overlap with the learned one.

In the first systematic, multi-node recordings of spiking activity across the human basal gangliaโthalamic circuit, @dennislondon.bsky.social explains how this pathway integrates cognitive variables with ongoing action. Weโd love to hear your thoughts.
Last week to apply! Cognitive Neuroscience Research Laboratory Manager at @oxexppsy.bsky.social (with links to @oxcin.bsky.social and @ox.ac.uk)

Our new paper in @sfnjournals.bsky.social shows different neural systems for integrating views into places--PPA integrates views *of* a location (e.g., views of a landmark), while RSC integrates views *from* a location (e.g., views of a panorama). Work by the bluesky-less Linfeng Tony Han.
My pleasure contributing and working with you Nicole, a lot of fun, and all credit to Catrina on a great job carefully tackling each new analysis and update.
Exciting new preprint from the Rust lab led by Catrina. Important and practical progress in understanding the translational utility of "high-gamma" LFP activity.
