Attending #SANS2024 ? Come check out my work with meghan meyer (@[email protected]) on social consolidation in the DMPFC during Blitz Topics 4 and Poster Session 3 (P3-F-61) this Saturday, 4/13.

Our results suggest.. YES! We found no evidence of early nonsocial consolidation in the lVLPFC.

When we looked in the lVLPFC, we found the opposite. Participants nonsocial pattern reinstatement significantly correlated with participants nonsocial memory performance.

We saw a greater amount of social reinstatement in the DMPFC at earlier, compared to middle and later, time periods of rest. Interestingly, not seen for nonsocial reinstatement in the DMPFC. Also not seen for social or nonsocial reinstatement in lVLPFC.

Check out Courtney A. Jimenez’s #SANS2024 data blitz (Topic 4) and poster on social consolidation during rest! A must see 🤩🧠

Wish I was there to see this!

Excited about my team’s new paper - spearheaded by the brilliant Courtney A. Jimenez - and now out in #PNAS ! DMPFC prioritizes social memory consolidation at rest. Check out Courtney’s full 🧵 below! tinyurl.com/ycxzhz4j

Arvina Grahl Courtney A. Jimenez is next, discussing evidence that the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (DMPFC) prioritizes social learning at rest

Perhaps, the brain is designed to prioritize social consolidation - over other kinds of consolidation - by default during rest.

meghan meyer (@[email protected]) Will also be at #CNS2024 ! Find me in Poster Session B from 8-10am on Sunday, 4/14.

In conclusion, we show that the DMPFC, a key node of the default network (which is robustly engaged at rest), prioritizes the consolidation of social information at rest.

Given that social reinstatement in the DMPFC is meaningfully related to social memory performance - and there is evidence of greater reinstatement at earlier times of rest - is social consolidation specific to early rest?

But what makes one of these consolidation mechanisms prioritized over another? We argue that temporal precedence allows for a prioritization claim.

If we only have a few minutes in between meetings, which kind of information gets consolidated earlier?

meghan meyer (@[email protected]) Courtney A. Jimenez Very cool work! Congrats!!!

A huge thanks to the lab, the wonderful faculty Consortium for Interacting Minds and Department of Psychology at Columbia University, and many incredible graduate school friends for your unending support and the privilege of doing science with each of you.

Courtney A. Jimenez meghan meyer (@[email protected]) looks awesome!! congrats Court ❤️
