Anterior Cingulate Cortex Causally Supports Meta-Learning biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Led by Satoka Fujimoto and with Brian Russ and Helen Mayberg, MD our first paper on the effects of deep brain stimulation in the brain. What’s exciting is that we find it induces white matter remodeling in specific tracts. Friedman Brain Institute biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share that the latest Kari Hoffman @[email protected] paper is published in Cell Reports. We describe the dynamics of superficial and deep CA1 pyramidal cells and identified putative groups of inhibitory cells in freely moving, thinking, and sleeping macaques. 1/n

Cortical interneurons learn on the job! Speculated this was true a decade ago! Sherry Wu and Min Dai finally provide evidence! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

.Sameer Sheth and I are looking to recruit a joint post-doc to do human intracranial electrophysiology using Neuropixels (and other high-contact electrodes) with us at BCM. DM either of us for details! (or email us).

Delighted our latest finding! We discovered that abstract representations emerge in the human hippocampus when learning to perform inference. This change in neural geometry is due to disentanglement of discovered latent and observable variables. nature nature.com/articles/s4158…

I’m thrilled to share our paper published online today in Science Magazine ! I appreciate my mentor, Dr.Fujisawa, for running through this project with me. We discovered the new type of grid cells that have grid field for future projected locations. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

It's finally out, on Joe's last day in the lab before heading off to postdoc! We asked whether a putative "social" brain area does anything unique with social cues when they're not used for any social reasoning. Turns out it does! nature.com/articles/s4146…

🚨🚨🚨New preprint Attentional Information Routing in The Human Brain We investigated large-scale cortical communications at fast timescales through high frequency activity bursts. (1/6): biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Can we map gut inflammation with ultrasound? Yes, using probiotic biosensors! 🔊 Imagine drinking a "diagnostic yogurt" and getting an ultrasound instead of endoscopy or colonoscopy 😁. Congrats to Marjorie Buss and collaborators on this advance. doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

I will be presenting a poster on our recent study on Saturday, October 5th, Board No. N16 at #SfN. "High-frequency burst dynamics support attentional information routing in the human brain" Looking forward to see you all at #sfn2024 more on that here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

A message to the friends of the Iranian people across the Middle East

New results on how gamma/beta oscillations, spiking, and Predictive Routing are disrupted in unconsciousness! Incredible coincidence: The study was published in PNAS as first-author Sophy Yihan Xiong presents the work at #sfn24 poster F7! Come by and learn more! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
