Generative replay across hippocampal-neocortical circuits

To make flexible decisions, the brain needs to make inferences between events that were not directly experienced together. In sharp-wave ripple (SWR) events, during periods of rest and sleep, spiking ...

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 …

Our @fens.org Satellite meeting is tomorrow! #FENS2026 Check out our updated program👇 youngpisymposium2026.com/program/ We are all super excited to have everyone joining! Safe travels everyone 🚅 ✈️ 🚲 See you in Barcelona 🔆😎

On the way to #FENS Forum! Come by, we have a symposium (Beyond episodic memory: engrams for feelings and facts Thursday 9:45 Hall D) and posters (Thursday 14:00-17:30 PS06-09PM-466-8) on learning complex multi-trial tasks spanning species (mouse, rat, human). See you there!

Some neurons like to ride on slow LFP oscillations, regardless of their phase! This might represent a mechanism to coordinate neural activity and propagate information across brain circuits 🧠 amazing collaboration led by the super talented @zahrajourahmad.bsky.social and Andrew Watrous!

Dorsoventral hippocampus neural assemblies reactivate during sleep following an aversive experience by @ggirardeau.bsky.social and team www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Dorsoventral hippocampus neural assemblies reactivate during sleep following an aversive experience - Nature Neuroscience

Synchronization of sharp-wave ripples across the dorsoventral hippocampus during sleep supports coordinated reactivation that represents negative experiences more faithfully than positive ones.

🔔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 does the brain build a memory? A common assumption is that the neurons activated during an experience collectively form the memory engram. In our new Nature Neuroscience paper (finally out!), we show that this is not the case. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Deconstruction of a memory engram reveals distinct ensembles recruited at learning - Nature Neuroscience

Pouget et al. identified distinct CA1 neuron ensembles active during specific moments of fear learning and uncovered the core engram essential for memory formation.

Every time you experience something new, your brain faces a decision: Should it update an existing memory or create a new one? In our new paper in @sfnjournals.bsky.social #JNeurosci, we isolate that exact decision, moment-by-moment during learning 🧵
