Electrophysiological dissociation of human posterior cingulate cortex contributions to value- and memory-based decision-making https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.08.12.744505v1

New preprint! Posterior cingulate is often linked to memory in humans but decisions in monkeys yet there's little consensus about its functional neuroanatomy. We recorded LFPs+single units in humans during matched value and memory based decisions, finding convergence in dorsal, but not ventral, PCC.

My lab at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is recruiting a full-time research coordinator! We study how human memory supports optimal decision making in both familiar contexts and new situations, using behavioral and neuroimaging data with model simulations. hamllab.org/positions/re... 🧠📈

Go work with an excellent scientist and all around star of a human being!

New preprint! We show low arousal states promote hippocampal ripple genesis in sleep and wake. This bridges rodent work, where ripples predominate during sleep, with human studies reporting ripples during active behavior, identifying low arousal as a common mechanism www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Arousal state modulates human hippocampal ripples

Hippocampal ripples are transient, high-frequency oscillations linked to memory replay and consolidation. Ripples are well-characterized in rodents to occur during periods of behavioral inactivity (i....

We're recruiting postdocs to study how people build structured knowledge from experience & use it to act flexibly. Behavioral work, fMRI, computational & AI models, with a lifespan focus. You don't need experience with every method; fit & curiosity matter most. Please repost & share! 🧠

We’re hiring a full-time Research Coordinator in the Preston Lab at UT Austin (start May/June 2026). Work on behavioral + fMRI studies of how memory & decision-making develop from childhood to adulthood. Learn more & apply: preston.clm.utexas.edu/news/join-th... Please repost!

Exciting new preprint from the Rust lab led by Catrina. Important and practical progress in understanding the translational utility of "high-gamma" LFP activity.

🚨 New preprint! Why do some insights from spikes translate to field potentials while others don't? In this paper we compare visual memory representations in spikes and LFPs to propose a general framework that answers this question. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 🧵 (1/10) 🧠🟦 🧠💻

Fantastic opportunity to work with an exceptional scientist and mentor!

The $400M cuts to @columbiauniversity.bsky.social fit squarely into Trump's ongoing attacks on science and the academy. I don't believe that he is protecting Jews or has *anyone's* (except his own) best interests at heart. Everything about him screams Nazi and fascist. www.npr.org/2025/03/07/n...

We had a great crew this morning working on signs before they headed out to @standupforscience.bsky.social in Philly! STEM-related activities account for 40% of the US GDP and are a main economic driver for Philadelphia. Science makes America great.

Hey Philadelphia see you TOMORROW 11AM CITY HALL!!!! (And if you're a Penn person, @pennmindcore.bsky.social is hosting poster-making and donut-eating beforehand!!)

🚨 Science is under threat, and we must take a stand! 🚨 I’ve been hard at work organizing the Philadelphia rally for the Stand Up for Science National Day of Action @standupforscience.bsky.social—because this fight is personal.

For the Indy Star in Indiana 🏎️, VJ Rubenstein wrote about losing a generation to the cuts to science funding: “I know of multiple promising students who have questioned their decisions to pursue scientific careers. We are on the verge of losing a cohort of transformative young scientists.” 🧪🏠

I wrote about the harmful impacts of NIH funding cuts on the health and economy of Indiana. www.indystar.com/story/opinio...

🚨 🧠 We have a new preprint out where we studied which brain networks are engaged during mental imagery and self-generated thought. We used a precision fMRI approach along with multidimensional experience sampling (mDES) to get trialwise self-reports from each participant about what they imagined.

Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings. But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%. I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...
