Excited to share new work from our lab at #SfN2025! @SfNtweets Posters span how the brain learns about time and space—from foraging and MEC dynamics, to RNN + hippocampus in curriculum learning, to MTL vs striatal activity across learning, and cognitive aging. Check them out!

I’m happy to share my main PhD work now published! 🥳🥳🥳 We found that a salient emotional experience can be linked with a memory from days ago, and this linking occurs through co-activity of the two memory representations during a period of rest.
🌟 Cai Lab @Nature paper alert! In new work led by @mysteriousjoe_, we find that rest periods after learning not only stabilize new memories BUT ALSO integrate new memories with older ones from days past! (1/9) Read it here: https://t.co/Ur8dbGfuP3

Excited to join a great community of DSPAN trainees and I couldn't have done any of it without the support of the best mentors! 👩🔬🔬 @okaysteve @gehirnkarte
