After much consideration, I’ve decided to step away from academia. Although I find my work incredibly fascinating, I’ve chosen to transition into industry. I’m grateful to everyone I’ve met during these years—thank you for the insightful conversations, and memorable moments.

This led to new insights on the role of HC cells in pronoun comprehension but also on the link between memory processes and language.

Concept cells can respond to pictures and written names. But did you know they also respond to pronouns when that pronoun refers to their preferred concept? We were able to follow conceptual representations during reading on a single cell level.

Our nanosymposium at #SfN2024 will take place in two weeks from now! We start Monday 7/10 at 8AM with our session: Neurophysiology of the human MTL during relational and spatial learning. I'll be both chair and speaker and I hope to see you there!.
