Are concept cells a.k.a. “Jennifer Aniston neurons” key to understanding how we form memories? Check out our latest Q&A with Prof Florian Mormann @humansingleunit Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn on his research and the potential implications for Alzheimer’s. sainsburywellcome.org/web/qa/jennife… #neuroscience

UnitMatch tracks neurons across multiple electrophysiological recording sessions. It relies on the spike waveform and allows tracking even when functional properties change such as during memory formation. Enny Matteo Carandini Kenneth D Harris nature.com/articles/s4159…

Doris Dijksterhuis Matthew Self I am very happy that the paper about hippocampal responses elicited by pronouns that refer to concepts came out this week! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

One week until our SFN nanosymposium on cutting-edge work using direct-brain recordings in humans to untangle complex aspects of human cognition!

Gratified to see this elegant extension of our CONCEPT CELLS to language domain of pronouns. Beautiful demonstration by Doris Dijksterhuis et al. of the exceptional abstraction by these cells. On lighter note good to see Shrek cell (as we saw at UCLA Neurosurgery 🧠) in hippocampus across Atlantic

Very happy with how our nano session went at Society for Neuroscience (SfN) 2024! Thanks to all speakers for contributing with such wonderful talks. I'm looking forward to follow your work and hope to organise more together in the future.

Already the last day of SFN tomorrow - with many of us presenting in the very last session in the afternoon. Please come visit us at below posters (Posters V8-V16 & 1 Talk) to hear about our latest discoveries in memory and imagination. #SfN2024 Cedars-Sinai Caltech Neuroscience

Neurons in the hippocampus, known as "concept cells," respond to both specific nouns and pronouns that refer to those nouns, suggesting these cells help link and update concepts during language comprehension. dlvr.it/TFgkCV

Extremely honored to have won the Brain Award for Scientific Excellence! A huge thanks to my promotors Pieter Roelfsema and Matthew Self for their help and support throughout my PhD.

Getting the hack out of here. Follow me on bsky.app/profile/dorisd… :) Hope to see you all there!!!

After much consideration, I’ve decided to step away from academia. Although I find my work incredibly fascinating, I’ve chosen to transition into industry. I’m grateful to everyone I’ve met during these years—thank you for the insightful conversations, and memorable moments.
