New paper alert! Excited to share the fruits of an amazing collab with @Ananya_MC, Alessandro Luchetti, @alcinojsilva, @YiotaPoirazi and others : an LC-dCA1 dopamine circuit modulates memory linking. @NeuroCellPress
Delighted to share our study led by @Ananya_MC and with @YiotaPoirazi’s group: dopaminergic Locus Coeruleus to dCA1 projection (not dCA3) modulates memory linking across time by controlling excitability and the overlap between memory ensembles in dCA1 https://t.co/f53Hrk7kZe

New paper alert📢! Compartmentalized dendritic plasticity drives memory linking! So glad to have been a part of this exciting study driven by the amazing @MeghaSehgal_! Congratulations to @alcinojsilva and all the authors!
📢 Excited to share our new paper out today in Nature Neuroscience! 🧠✨ We uncover how compartmentalized dendritic plasticity in the retrosplenial cortex (RSC) links contextual memories formed close in time. A thread 🧵👇 [1/8] https://t.co/zUiEYqX6yI

The same dendritic segments are preferentially activated by linked contextual memories, and spines added after linked memories are allocated to the same dendritic segments @MeghaSehgal_ @alcinojsilva @YiotaPoirazi @BRI_UCLA @OhioStatePsych @OhioStateCBI

So proud to be part of this amazing work! Congrats @alcinojsilva, Yang, @miou_zhou, @denisejcai and all the authors!
Proud to be a part of a group that just published in @Nature a role for CCR5 in closing the temporal window for linking memories by modulating excitability and memory ensemble overlap. Also, CCR5 increases account for age-related loss in memory linking! https://t.co/yHULmVTHwL

Congrats @SaptarnabN and all the authors! Such a bittersweet victory and a truly moving tweet.
Humbled and honored to share our study that is, above all, a deep appreciation of the legend that Dr. Bruce McEwen is, and always be. It is also a tiny drop in the ocean of inspiration that continues to drive us. Also, Siddhartha Da, wherever you are, this is for you!

So happy to be part of this project and work with some amazing people !
Excited to share this pre-print about the dopamingeric LC-dCA1 circuit we found to modulate memory linking! My first paper as a co-author from @alcinojsilva's lab! TY to 1st authors @Ananya_MC, Alex Luchetti, and @giselle_ferns for letting me contribute:)
