F Crick proposed synaptic protein interactions maintain memory despite molecular turnover. The Sacktor & Fenton labs with collaborators find postsynaptic scaffold KIBRA and persistent kinase PKMζ interact to maintain LTP and memory for at least 1 month!

Thrilled that @HannahPaynePhD will join the NYU community as an Asst Prof jointly in @NYU_CNS and @NYUPsych! Will be awesome to see her investigations of one-shot episodic memory mechanisms by exploiting the neurophysiology of active vision and food caching memories in chickadees.

January 1992 in Prague Jan Bureš told me about place cells, and turned me into a scientist. This Perspective reminds us that such neurons don’t respond to stimuli. Network discharge (and knowledge) is internally-organized but interdependent on the world

What can learning to focus do for your brain? @ain_chung @cg_jou @DinoDvorak @EliottLevy @AlexGrau92 and Nida, an intrepid team of hero neurobiologists focused on finding out. We followed the data that surprised at almost every turn. Proud of y'all

A02 - 50th Storytelling Session - Oh Sh*t - Great Scientists Tell Stories About Their Greatest Failures - How did I agree to this? Never thought I would shout out loud, much less in Twitter "Hey everybody, come find out how I screwed up, really pretty bad!" (very personal story).

This is a pure career accelerant! The program is all about giving opportunity for early career scientists to find their research stride and launch their independence. You can’t get the benefits if you don’t apply! Families embraced!!.

Dentate spikes and external control of hippocampal function Proud of this work and all that @DinoDvorak has done. He's moved on to a key role at Gilgamesh Pharmaceuticals. This has been a fascinating story to work out over the years. Fmr1-null mice next.
