Joined December 2008
To those interested in adult #neurogenesis, please check out our new theoretical paper, with the twitterless Frank Krasne and Jesse Cushman. It's about a rather old idea that we feel deserves more attention:

#ThisWeekInNPP Work from @TheDrewLab finds that extinction learning suppresses the reactivity of fear ensembles in the hippocampus & alters their transcriptomic activity, leading to emergence of a distinct extinction ensemble https://t.co/wzoqGUzUNS

Check out our new paper! 🔬🎉 We show that ventral hippocampal activity in projection neurons changes after extinction: context fear recall activates more BLA projecting neurons, and extinction recall activates more IL projecting neurons: https://t.co/BwUDxxanB8

Fear and extinction learning are thought to generate distinct and competing memory representations in the hippocampus. How these memory representations modulate the expression of appropriate behavi...

My first Tweet! (I can no longer resist.) So very excited to share our new study. Over time new neurons are critical for sustaining old connections for forming memories. The adult connectome is reshaped dramatically by experiences! https://t.co/qnfWlFcTo3 ...
