incredibly excited to share my first, first-author paper in @NatureComms! how do dynamic changes in functional connectivity give rise to memory formation in humans? 🧠✨ https://t.co/oZf7AeCSKG

What happens to visual memory when part of a visually selective brain region is removed? Patient VH, who lost part of his parahippocampal place area and struggled to consolidate scene memories overnight, offers some insights. Read more in Learning & Memory: https://t.co/W1z2wCbGPO

Why does my cabbage resemble the way the human brain folds (gyrification)? Is my cabbage conscious?

🚨 New lab paper!🚨 Dream study of mine for 20 yrs not possible until now thanks to NIH 🧠 funding & 1st-author lead @m_seeber We tracked hippocampal activity as people walked memory-guided paths & imagined them again. Did brain patterns reappear?🧵👇 https://t.co/Nvuuct6DWP

1/18: Well, after 23 years as faculty at Harvard and almost 15 years of amazing collaborations, collegiality and growth at McLean Hospital, today I officially start at @UCIrvine, where I will be the founding director of a new depression

I love this cover :’)

I’m excited to share our new paper in @brainstimj! We used natural human conversations to investigate the brain activity underlying emotional expression: https://t.co/W55LxAUezN 1/6

Excited to share an awesome study by former postbac @audreyphan_, now @HarvardMITmdphd, with her first first-authored paper! Audrey skillfully blends various analytical approaches to reveal the role of brain connectivity dynamics in human cognition. #NeuralCoding #HumanCognition

Yay Audrey!!! Congrats! 💜💚

7/ HUGE thank you to Kareem @NIH_NINDS, Zane @IconLaboratory, Zaghloul lab (Julio, Sam + Oceane, @kksundby, @uma_r_mohan), and the best postbac crew @mollybaumhauer, Nick, and @KohlSwift. I’m so grateful to learn from you all and excited to get started on my PhD next fall! 💜

6/ In summary, we show that fast sub-second changes in connectivity between brain regions are involved in forming individual memories and are recapitulated when retrieving the same memory.

5/ We found that patterns of dynamic functional connectivity during memory encoding are reinstated during successful memory retrieval. We also find that these patterns of reinstatement are specific to individual word pairs.

4/ Functionally connected electrode pairs show dynamic increases or decreases during encoding, with similar dynamics during retrieval. Are these changes during encoding later recapitulated when retrieving memories?

3/ We first identified electrode pairs that are functionally connected using a time-lagged cross correlation measure.

2/ We used intracranial EEG data (n = 20) during a paired-associates memory task to address this question.

Thank you @_TheTransmitter & @JordanCollver for this piece about the power of science comics! Science has the biggest impact when it can reach the most people. Science comics invite us to discuss research creatively & accessibly. Article 👇 & a quick 🧵 https://t.co/iL8wSns26f
