Thank you so much, Lynn @choosetobecurious.bsky.social, for having me on the podcast! In our conversation, I reflect on my research journey into curiosity, share insights from our current developmental and educational projects, and even tap into my poetic side. Choose To Be Curious with us! 😊

I knew neuroscientist Matthias Gruber had played an important part in my curiosity journey -- but I didn't know I'd played a part in his! What a delight to finally get to talk with him about his wonderful work on #curiosity, #education and #memory. lynnborton.com/2025/08/21/c...

Excited to share my first fMRI paper in @pnas.org We found that suppressing the encoding of one event can strengthen the neural representation of the next in CA1, and bias retrieval-related neural restatement away from suppressed information. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Evidence for dlPFC contribution to #memory suppression using #TMS! Now accepted @jocn.bsky.social. Great team effort and collaboration with Gesa Hartwigsen’s lab @mpicbs.bsky.social‬. We also had an exemplary experience at the journal with editors @barense.bsky.social‬ & @bradpostle.bsky.social‬.

1/3 Excited to share my first paper w/ co-first-author Davide Stramaccia in @rolandbenoit.bsky.social's lab! Causal evidence for right dlPFC involvement in #memory control: #TMS made it harder to stop intrusive memories & suppression didn't cause forgetting @jocn.bsky.social -> tinyurl.com/prfra87k

To my complete surprise, our Nature Reviews Neuroscience review on the Brain Mechanisms Underlying the Inhibitory Control of Thought has landed on the cover! Cover art below! For an "explainer thread", see earlier tweet. bsky.app/profile/memo... @mrccbu.bsky.social #neuroskyence #memory #ptsd

How does the brain stop thoughts? Find out in my article in @natrevneuro.nature.com with Subbu Subbulakshmi & Maite Crespo-Garcia www.nature.com/articles/s41... that integrates 25 yrs of psychology and neuroscience on this vital function.@mrccbu.bsky.social sky.social #neuroskyence #neuroscience

Ever wondered how imagining prospective events helps us make farsighted decisions? Our preprint w/@heidrunschultz.bsky.social elucidates how it affects delay discounting. It notably reveals that the same mechanism can also nudge us towards more impulsive choices. @mpicbs.bsky.social @colorado.edu

Can someone forget much of their life? Yes! In Psychogenic amnesia, extreme stress leads to the loss of years of memories, including all the people the patient knows. Why? Read about what we have discovered in @laura-marsh.bsky.social‬ 's new paper or in the outstanding thread below #neuroskyence

Happy to share our new paper on the inhibition of memory retrieval in dissociative amnesia, with @dcdace.bsky.social, Hirokazu Kikuchi, Nobuhito Abe &, Jun Kawaguchi, Mike Kopelman & @memorycontrol.bsky.social doi.org/10.1017/S003...

Peer reviews can vary from harsh and demoralizing to constructive and kind. How can we make sure the peer reviews we write fall into the latter group? Join us for this virtual workshop w/ @blackinneuro.bsky.social to learn about the dos and don'ts of effective & constructive peer reviews!

Reviewer Zero@reviewerzero.bsky.social · 2y ago

What strategies can you use to provide effective peer reviews? Join us for a virtual workshop with @blackinneuro.bsky.social! We'll discuss the structure & content of peer reviews & provide advice about how to write your first review. Register here: blackinneuro47.wildapricot.org/event-5883989
