Check out the new preprint from the amazing @adamjcurtis.bsky.social! Memory Benefits for Schematically Incongruent Sequences Depend on the Type of Violation #neuroskyence #psychscisky #cognition 🧪

📢 New preprint with @aidanhorner.bsky.social and @marwimber.bsky.social investigating how schematic violations shape memory for sequences of events. Memory Benefits for Schematically Incongruent Sequences Depend on the Type of Violation osf.io/preprints/ps...

Is space & time coding in entorhinal cortex interchangeable? Cells switching between space & time as needed by task? For some cells yes, and other no: Spatial and temporal representations are organized along a stable coding gradient in the medial entorhinal cortex www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

How does the brain rapidly distinguish similar memories? We use 7T fMRI to show dynamic shifts between pattern separation and reinstatement signals in hippocampal CA3 and DG with changing task demands: doi.org/10.64898/202...

Very excited to have this officially published: A neural state space for episodic memories A brief thread... #neuroskyence #psychscisky #cognition 🧪 @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social

A neural state space for episodic memories

Episodic memories are highly dynamic and change in nonlinear ways over time. This dynamism is not captured by existing systems consolidation theories …

This is the May cover of NN but it has already been debunked on biorxiv www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Such a clear statement about the ridiculous pace of publishing (not just NN).

This looks like a significant discovery from Doris Tao's lab: Rapid concerted switching of the neural code in the inferotemporal cortex @nature.com "..our findings indicate that there is a previously unknown mechanism for neural representation:.." www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Rapid concerted switching of the neural code in the inferotemporal cortex - Nature

Face cells in the macaque inferotemporal cortex are initially able to detect faces and then rapidly switch to a face-specific neural code to discriminate between different face identities.

📣 First paper from the lab! 🎉🧠 Led by brilliant MRes students Aysha and Zhiyun, we found exploring a novel, unpredictable VR environment retroactively enhanced memory in humans: rdcu.be/fc496

New preprint! 🧠 How do RNNs learn abstract rules from sequences, independent of specific stimuli? By Vezha Boboeva, with Alberto Pezzotta & George Dimitriadis "From sequences to schemas: low-rank recurrent dynamics underlie abstract relational representations" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Great work by Roni Tibon (not on BlueSky) - surprising that negligible difference in fMRI correlates of semantic vs episodic retrieval?

Are episodic and semantic memory really that different? Using closely matched tasks, a new study found no substantial neural differences between recalling personal experiences and general knowledge: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Happy to share this early Christmas present 🎄: our paper about geometry- and locomotion-dependence of 3D memory got published in PNAS! Joint work with co-first-author Volker Reisner (@reisnerv.bsky.social) as well as Leonard König, Misun Kim & Christian Doeller www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/

🚨 New preprint! Impact of Task Similarity and Training Regimes on Cognitive Transfer and Interference 🧠 We compare humans and neural networks in a learning task, showing how training regime and task similarity interact to drive transfer or interference. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Impact of Task Similarity and Training Regimes on Cognitive Transfer and Interference

Learning depends not only on the content of what we learn, but also on how we learn and on how experiences are structured over time. To investigate how task similarity and training regime interact dur...

📣 Very excited for our symposium on “Building Knowledge Structures” tomorrow at 16:30 at @pug2025.bsky.social Together with amazing people: @barnaveliirina.bsky.social @lukaskunz.bsky.social @mirkothm.bsky.social and Andrea Greve

Amazing study!

Our paper in @natcomms.nature.com, we show how cognitive maps in the hippocampal system could solve the general problem of representing and relating multiple alternative action plans.  doi.org/10.1038/s414... With @doellerlab.bsky.social, Patrick Haggard, @vigano.bsky.social, Daniel Reznik
