Breathing sets the timing for memory processing during sleep! In our new preprint, precisely shifting memory cues within the respiratory cycle changed oscillatory coordination, memory reactivation and next-morning recall. Fabulous work by @estebanbt.bsky.social, with @tobiasstaudigl.bsky.social!👇

Summer Preprint Alert 🔥🚨 Breathing isn't just for oxygen; it’s a rhythmic pacemaker for the sleeping brain. Our new preprint shows that the respiratory cycle actually gates memory reactivation during NREM sleep! 🧠😴💨 👇🧵(1/8)

Finally a Dr.🎓(well, once my certificate is printed 😄) A few weeks ago, I defended my thesis, and shortly after, graduated from GSN @lmu.de! I learned so much on this journey, not only about how action structures episodic memory (preprint coming soon!) but that persistence is key😄 #PhD #Neuroscience

Excited to finally share our new paper in @natcomms.nature.com: Hippocampal ripples initiate cortical dimensionality expansion for memory retrieval www.nature.com/articles/s41... With @s-michelmann.bsky.social and @doellerlab.bsky.social

Hippocampal ripples initiate cortical dimensionality expansion for memory retrieval - Nature Communications

How past experiences are reconstructed from memory remains unclear. Here the authors used intracranial EEG to show that hippocampal ripples reshape the geometry of cortical representations, supporting...

Can MEG provide a non-invasive window onto human ripple physiology during sleep? Our new preprint suggests it can. Led by the fantastic @fabian31415.bsky.social. Many thanks to our collaborators @olejensen.bsky.social , @doellerlab.bsky.social , and @tobiasstaudigl.bsky.social #Neuroskyence

Can we study MTL ripples non-invasively? New preprint! We show that source-resolved MEG tracks ripple-like activity during sleep that: • localizes to the MTL • follows the canonical SO–spindle hierarchy • matches an iEEG benchmark • indexes memory reactivation www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Non-invasive tracking of ripple-like activity during human sleep using MEG

Hippocampal ripples are considered a key mechanism of sleep-dependent memory consolidation. In humans, however, their direct investigation has relied on invasive recordings from patients with epilepsy...

Thrilled to share our new #preprint, and super proud of @zednud.bsky.social and our work on eye–brain dynamics during eyes-closed rest and sleep! Also excited to share that Zach started his PhD with me recently! 🎉 Lots of ideas and cool work ahead. Follow him on Bluesky and check out his thread! 🧵

Excited to share my first #preprint with @matthiasnau.bsky.social on how gaze behavior shapes brain activity during eyes-closed rest and sleep! Gaze-dependent activity was widespread even during sleep, including in many visual cortices, and altered brain-wide functional connectivity! 🧵 1/8

We're finally getting the tools to study replay in humans. But why bother? What can we learn from it that we don't know from rodent recordings? Our thoughts are now out in a new TICS Forum Great fun writing this w @smfleming.bsky.social + @maritpetzka.bsky.social authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...

What can we learn from studying replay in humans?

Noninvasive methods are making it possible to study neural replay in humans. Although focused on alignment with rodent findings, human research often …

The omitted first half of the sentence—“using a rare opportunity to directly record from the human thalamus…”—already highlights a key difference, among others. Contrary to claims made here & elsewhere, we do mention Snipes (2025) in our paper, alongside other relevant reports of cortical activity.

Thomas Andrillon@thomasandrillon.bsky.social · 2mo ago

"hitherto-unreported brain-state-specific oscillation of approximately 19–45 Hz"??? Sophia Snipes published a paper on very similar findings in scalp EEG: journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.... The authors of the NHB paper were made aware of these findings! Quite disappointing...

NEW PAPER🚨👀 in Science Advances with a wonderful transatlantic team. (incl @sylvainbaillet.bsky.social @olejensen.bsky.social @katduecker.bsky.social) Using human MEG, we found lower-order and higher-order neural processes that underlie illusory transitions in conscious visual perception. 🧵👇

Hierarchical brain dynamics supporting visual perceptual transitions

Illusory transitions in conscious visual perception involve both early visual cortex and higher-order motor cortices.

New lab paper! 🧠 Human hippocampal & MTL theta activity is linked to eye movements, but only during memory-guided navigation. Theta is also strongest during longer, more exploratory eye movements. plos.io/4dwJhR8 Huge congrats to Humza & team! 👏

Eye movements reflect memory-related theta activity in the human brain

Theta oscillations in the medial temporal lobe support memory, but how they relate to eye and body movements during human navigation is unclear. This study shows that theta power increases during sacc...

How do MTL theta oscillations relate to eye & body movements during navigation? @suthanalab.bsky.social &co show that #theta power increases during #saccades under memory demands, linking exploratory gaze & planning to memory‑related dynamics during #navigation @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4dwJhR8

Experimental design and task. Top left: Intracranial electroencephalographic activity, eye and body movements were recorded as participants freely walked around the room. Wall-mounted motion-tracking cameras recorded the position of on-body reflective markers. Participants also wore an eye-tracking headset to monitor saccadic eye movements. A snapshot from the eye-facing camera is shown in the bottom right. For illustrative purposes, an experimenter is shown wearing the full setup. Top right: MRI of an example participant with an implanted RNS System. Purple dots indicate the location of four electrode contacts in the left medial temporal lobe (MTL). The top left inset shows an X-ray used to localize electrode positions. Bottom left: The environment contained 20 visible wall-mounted signs and three invisible circular target locations (0.7 m diameter). At the start of the task, participants freely explored the room to locate the invisible targets; each time a target was reached, an auditory tone signaled success, allowing them to gradually learn and remember these locations through experience. The task then alternated between two conditions: “visually-cued” navigation, during which participants navigated to a wall-mounted sign (e.g., “Blue 3”), and “memory-cued” navigation, during which they recalled and navigated to the previously learned invisible targets (e.g., “T”).
