🧵Excited to share a preprint on sleep + memory transformation with co-first author Stephanie Simpson Brian Levine! Feat: •Controlled real-life event (art tour; N=174) •Testing memory for sequence vs perceptual info @ multiple timepoints up to 1 year •Overnight polysomnography🧠🛌

Our latest, showing how humans and recurrent neural nets can learn statistical information unfolding at multiple timescales rapidly and concurrently!

🚨 1/ We are hiring a research assistant in Berlin Max Planck Institute for Human Development ! We are a team of six postdocs from MPIB Berlin and UCL (no PI! 🤯) on a voyage to investigate developmental aspects of learning and generalization, looking for someone to help with running the project.

We’re hiring!

📣 Excited to share that our paper, “Parallel developmental changes in children’s production and recognition of line drawings of visual concepts” has been published in Nature Communications! 🎉 nature.com/articles/s4146…

Excited that our review paper is out in Neuropsychologia. In a special issue on naturalistic neuroscience edited by Cory Inman Dr. Peggy L. St. Jacques Jesse Rissman sheldonmemorylab Congrats to grad students Taran Virk and Thierry Letendre on their first pub!!! authors.elsevier.com/a/1igXJ6TBF%7E…

🚨new paper🚨 with Lila ‎Davachi لیلا دواچی ! CA3 subregion of the hippocampus integrate events based on context, while in parallel, dentate gyrus subregion pattern separates only items close in time and in the same context jneurosci.org/content/44/10/…

✨Highly recommended reading: Science Magazine has published an article on infantile amnesia, featuring the work of Sarah Power and her colleagues 👉science.org/content/articl…

We are seeking a full-time Research Specialist to join our lab Emory Psychology in Summer 2024! You could be a LUMeNary ✨ Applications accepted here: staff-emory.icims.com/jobs/127467/job And feel free to reach out to me!

I’m excited to share a new, long-in-the-making, theoretical perspective piece, written with Catherine Hartley in Nature Reviews Psychology. Here, we explore how models of meta-learning may inform our understanding of the developmental process. rdcu.be/dE8nQ 🧵

Proud of Erin Morrow for her amazing work on this project! Our findings suggest that unpleasant memories tend to blend together with similar neutral memories in anxious individuals. A riff off a clever memory paradigm by Brice Kuhl Avi Chanales

Congratulations Nora Newcombe 🤗

“In early development, children are not very able to lay down long-lasting memories of individual events.” Zoe Ngo talks to Annie Brookman-Byrne about memory growth in children and why neuroscience could shed light on how children remember the past. bold.expert/the-experiment…

Introducing LEVANTE, a project for measuring children's developmental and learning variability around the world! LEVANTE provides a measurement platform with data flowing to an open repository. Call for proposals coming soon from Jacobs Foundation. levante-network.org

Check out our review on how the prefrontal cortex integrates memory systems across timescales to guide adaptive behavior! And we detail the many plastic changes observed in PFC with learning and training, from single neurons to brain-wide activity patterns

A fun review paper to write with Rebecca Spencer & our amazing postdocs -- highlighting recent work linking measures of brain development and sleep during development. 😴🧠link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Thrilled — and already looking forward to #CogSci2025 !

A new paper from our lab: Dentate gyrus ensembles gate context-dependent neural states and memory retrieval | Science Advances science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… This work was led by Cesar Coelho (postdoc in my lab) and Andrew Mocle (postdoc in Sheena Josselyn lab). A brief 🧵. 1/n

#Announcement: The first #CallForProposals is open for the Learning Variability Network Exchange (LEVANTE)! 📢 This global initiative aims to improve our understanding of #LearningVariability.💡 ➡️ For more details on how to apply, visit: bit.ly/3Au1htY

Hugely excited that this work with Martin Hebart and Chris Baker is now out in Nature Human Behaviour !!! By moving from a category-focused to a behaviour-focused model, we identified behaviourally relevant object information throughout visual cortex. nature.com/articles/s4156…
