My lab is recruiting families with newborns for our new online study!

We are measuring attention and memory skills across the first year of life using eye-tracking 👀 and ECG 💕

Families need to live in the U.S. and have access to a laptop, tablet, or smartphone - please RT ✨

We're seeking three postdocs and two PhDs in infant neuroimaging and medical imaging methods. Join us at the Trinity College Institute of Neuroscience, a state-of-the-art facility in the heart of Dublin, Ireland!

Article in the The Transmitter speaking to Tomás Ryan on my PhD work in the Ryan Lab

New preprint! Memories formed early in childhood leave a lasting trace in the brain, so why can't we recall them? Benita Jin, Michael Gongwer et al. did a beautiful study, using TRAP2 to survey brain-wide memory circuits over postnatal development. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Happy new year from todays whiteout ❄️
