This is such an exciting preprint and I’m looking forward to hearing what people have to say. Thanks to Durham’s IAS for supporting the incredible team that led to this, and to the whole team - especially Aidan for the huge effort behind this

I wrote a thing on episodic memory and systems consolidation. I hope you all enjoy it and/or find it interesting.

15 years ago I met Simon James through a @durhamias.bsky.social project. Over time these conversations led to a project that changed my thinking about memory in all sorts of positive ways. Simon was a HUGE part of that. He provided intellectual input, but also warmth, generosity, and humour.

Great new paper out from @benslaterneuro.bsky.social on the way in which rodents make decisions based on context and temporal order. Fascinating stuff and first of a series of studies across different species on this task.
