Almost three years in the making, the preprint is out! We take another stab at the question: How do humans learn from reinforcement? (Spoiler alert: the answer is _not_ Reinforcement Learning). Huge thanks to the dream team: summerfieldlab @summerfieldlab.bsky.social Nathaniel Daw Kevin Miller

Published today in The Lancet. Main take home message: ⚠️ Primary author and my cousin Dr Khaled Alser remains abducted by the Israel military for insisting on not leaving his patients behind at Nasser Hospital for #NotATarget #Gaza #FreedomToKhaled

I’m proud to say that “Relating sex-bias in human cortical and hippocampal microstructure to sex hormones” is now out in Nature Communications 🥳! nature.com/articles/s4146…

“Lead author, whereabouts currently unknown”

Our lab University of Oxford Pharmacology Oxford has a Wellcome-funded Postdoc position to study feedback circuits underlying flexible learning using a range of in vivo imaging tools and computational approaches. You will be in a beautiful, historic city with great colleagues around 🧠🔬

New unit paper by Gava et al. from Dupret group discovered a new neuronal mechanism in the hippocampus that prevents new ‘flexible’ memories from being formed due to a past ‘robust’ memory, published in Science Magazine!

Excited that the preprint for the work from my first two years of PhD at summerfieldlab @summerfieldlab.bsky.social is out! In this work, we examine the role of action prediction errors (APEs) in cognitive control: osf.io/5ezxs (1/4)

Inspirational on every level.

Our new study is out in Neuron: “Offline hippocampal reactivation during dentate spikes supports flexible memory”, with David Dupret and fantastic group at MRC BNDU, Oxford, Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S08… #NeuroTwitter #hippocampus #pubalert 🧵 (1/9)

happy to share this with everyone—a sleep content decoder. Hope some may find it useful...!

It’s time to work WITH memory! New work from our lab is out: Extra temporary subspace is necessary for information exchange or asynchronous programming. Mental programming of spatial sequences in working memory in the macaque frontal cortex | Science science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Excited to share our new paper Neuron. Using fMRI, TMS and modelling we show that hippocampus infers responsibility when multiple people achieve an outcome together. With Shuyi Luo, Caroline Harbison Payam Piray and Matthew Rushworth. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I can’t believe food did that.

Our new paper in nature shows that entorhinal grid cells adapt their representations to a new environment in one-shot and we derive a model that fuses landmarks & motion to *predict* the detailed grid rep *before* the mouse enters the new environment! nature.com/articles/s4158…
