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 ...

Very happy to be supported with the travel award to attend @cpconf at Yale university and to have won the poster award voted by the audience. Big thanks to my inspiring and supportive supervisor @mgarvert.bsky.social and the organizing committee that brought this amazing conference together.

After learning two equally structured graphs, an abstract relational map of their shared structure emerges in mPFC — but only after a few days 🧠 Huge thanks to all collaborators, especially @alonbaram.bsky.social for leading this and @behrenstimb.bsky.social for making so much of it possible.

How does the human brain extract abstract structure from experience? We show that sensory-independent relational representations emerge in mPFC over several days. Work with @mgarvert.bsky.social and @behrenstimb.bsky.social now out in @currentbiology.bsky.social: www.cell.com/current-biol...

Nature research paper: Basis functions for complex social decisions in dorsomedial frontal cortex https://go.nature.com/3FsvUTi

Basis functions for complex social decisions in dorsomedial frontal cortex - Nature

A study combining group decision-making tasks with fMRI shows that the brain’s dorsomedial prefrontal cortex uses basis functions, similar to those in the visual, motor and spatial domains, to represent patterns of social interaction.
