Memory problems will change how you see the world...literally 👀

Across two new papers, we examined the eye movement patterns of younger adults, older adults, individuals with mild cognitive impairment, and amnesic cases.

Amazing work by a true rising star!

How does our brain learn that thunder follows lightning? We don't just remember two separate events; we build a predictive model to anticipate the world. My research dives into this very question: how we learn and predict the order of events. 🧵👇 1/9 #neuroscience #memory #sleep

Just published my first paper!
Really grateful to everyone at the plasticity lab @oxcin.bsky.social who made this possible.

huge thanks to my co-authors — couldn’t have done it without you.

I’m looking for a postdoc and RA for an ERC-funded project “SLEEPAWAY: Forgetting unwanted memories in sleep”. You’ll use MEG/EEG and fMRI to understand how the sleeping brain remembers and forgets. PLEASE REPOST 😊

New paper out in SLEEP @sleepjournals.bsky.social!

In his study, Jude Thom shows how cortical regions excited by tDCS before sleep express more spindles during subsequent sleep. doi.org/10.1093/slee...

Excited to share our new study on how respiration modulates neural dynamics during successful memory retrieval—led by @estebanbt.bsky.social, alongside the exceptional team of @fabian31415.bsky.social, @maritpetzka.bsky.social, @tobiasstaudigl.bsky.social, and @bstaresina.bsky.social. 👇

Esteban @estebanbt.bsky.social · Apr 24

Very excited to share the first preprint of my PhD thesis!

Together with @tschreiner.bsky.social, we investigated how respiration coordinates signature neural expressions of successful remembering during memory retrieval. 🫁🧠

Preprint alert! 🚨
1/ How does deep sleep reshape our memories? Our new study shows that slow-wave sleep (SWS) reorganises episodic memory networks, shifting recall from the parietal cortex to the anterior temporal lobe (ATL). With Polina Perzich and @bstaresina.bsky.social . A thread below👇
