🎉 *extremely* excited to share our human single neuron + movie dataset is out in #ScientificData! 📄 Human neuron activity during an 83-minute movie from 2,286 neurons and 29 patients 🔗https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-026-07955-0 1st public dataset from @humansingleneuron.bsky.social!🧵

Distinct neuronal populations in the human brain combine content and context - Nature

Single-neuron recordings in humans reveal largely separate content and context neurons whose coordinated activity flexibly places memory items in context.

🔔PREPRINT: Sleep ripples drive single-neuron reactivation for human memory consolidation 1/9: How does sleep support human memory consolidation? To test this, we recorded hundreds of neurons in the human medial temporal lobe (MTL) across learning, wakefulness, and sleep. doi.org/10.64898/202...

How are memories consolidated during sleep? Excited to share another preprint: hippocampal SWRs route memory content to the cortex via interregional co-reactivation of concept cells, optimized by slow-oscillation–spindle coupling. With the great @tschreiner.bsky.social @humansingleneuron.bsky.social

Sequential coupling of sleep oscillations enables concept-neuron reactivation and supports information flow across the human hippocampal-cortical circuit https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.01.15.699122v1

For those into sleep, memory, single units, and neural dynamics this one is for you! New preprint from the fantastic @fabian31415.bsky.social in collaboration with @humansingleneuron.bsky.social exploring how precisely timed sleep rhythms shape memory at the level of single neurons in humans.

How is the semantic content of a movie processed by our brains? 🧠🎬 We decode characters, events, & other features and investigate how populations and single neurons represent movie features. Check my poster @sfn.org #sfn25! Sat. Nov 15, 6:45-8:45pm, Hall E, poster S5 Wed. Nov 19, 9-10am, poster NN5

I’m really excited to be part of this collaboration that started with a chat at the poster of @treber.bsky.social and @humansingleneuron.bsky.social at SfN in 2018 (!) Katharina and everyone involved did a really fantastic job at using adaptive sampling to learn about semantic tuning in human MTL.

Semantic Tuning of Single Neurons in the Human Medial Temporal Lobe

The Medial Temporal Lobe (MTL) is key to human cognition, supporting memory, emotional processing, navigation, and semantic coding. Rare direct human MTL recordings revealed concept cells, which were ...

Neurons in the medial temporal lobe do not fire in sequence to object presentation. A working memory experiment revealed theta-locked firing without item order. RNNs mirror this pattern, suggesting memory relies on phase coding, not replay. @stefanieliebe.bsky.social @humansingleneuron.bsky.social

Phase of firing does not reflect temporal order in sequence memory of humans and recurrent neural networks - Nature Neuroscience

The temporal order of events in working memory is thought to be reflected by ordered neuronal firing at different phases. Here the authors show that this is not the case and that phase order is linked...
