How does stress change the hippocampus to prioritize predictions? Excited to be part of this terrific theme issue, sharing work led by @zhoui.bsky.social, continuing our collab w Nick Turk-Browne and @brynnsherman.bsky.social

The papers in this theme issue use multiple methods to examine how hippocampal predictions link memory and perception across cognitive domains. Some focus on learning, others on generating and using predictions. We introduce the theme issue and individual papers here:

How does cortisol tune brain networks to form strong emotional memories? Excited to share new work led by amazing former RA Flory Huang w collabs Rajita Sinha and @toddc.bsky.social #neuroskyence www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Dynamic brain mechanisms supporting salient memories under cortisol

The stress-related hormone cortisol alters dynamic brain networks predicting memory and arousal to promote emotional memories.

How do brain networks tracking past trauma react to stress in the future? Thrilled to share new work from the lab led by rockstar postdoc @felhardi.bsky.social with wonderful collab @dylanggee.bsky.social www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... #psychscisky #neuroskyence

Grateful to be gathering and hearing exciting science from the cog neuro community at #CNS2025! We’ve got new ideas to share: Sat 3p - poster A94 from Jean Ye Sun 5p - C147 from @zhoui.bsky.social Mon 10am - 📱symposium! feat @davidclewett.bsky.social, @barense.bsky.social, @liladavachi.bsky.social

In light of recent emotionally salient events - wondering how these are remembered? I’m thrilled to share new work from the lab, led by lab manager Julia Pratt, capturing emotional memories *inside and outside the lab* and quantifying their accuracy & structure pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39870487/

Positive affect amplifies integration within episodic memories in the laboratory and the real world - PubMed

Emotional events hold a privileged place in our memories, differing in accuracy and structure from memories for neutral experiences. Although much work has focused on the pronounced differences in mem...

Congrats to all the new @acnporg.bsky.social Associate Members, Members, & Fellows. We're grateful to have you as part of ACNP 🤩 #ACNP2024

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.

Stress tends to enhance memory for emotional events. Yet stress is also thought to hurt the hippocampus (which supports episodic memory). With @evgoldfarb.bsky.social & others, we explore this paradox and demonstrate how cortisol can *enhance* hippocampal function to support emotional episodic mems!

First empirical pub from the lab! Fear generalization - spreading ⚡️ assoc to similar stimuli - characterizes anxiety. Here we show that 🍷 assoc also spread to similar stimuli for indiv engaging in risky drinking pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37682597/

Hi all! Greetings from the CAMS (Cognitive neuroscience of Affect, Memory, and Stress) Lab; excited to share our work with you and learn from you all
