ooh thanks for flagging that parallel finding!

Anyhow, these results are probably most exciting to my fellow #memorynerds, but excited to share this work w/ everyone. Code & data publicly available: github.com/dzmemoryandc... Comments/suggestions always welcome!

And, although OA overall recall less items and make more memory errors than YA, everyone shows similar patterns in their memory errors: (1) More sound-based than meaning-based memory errors and (2) More memory errors from the earliest study positions. Again, evidence for shared memory stores.

But here, we find evidence for SHARED memory stores & CONTINUITY of processing w aging. Both YA & OA make meaning- and sound-based errors (“false memories”) from ALL list positions. This is exciting because it refutes the idea that the type of coding is tied to different underlying memory stores.
halledz.bsky.social
Classically, we would predict that early list positions rely on long-term, meaning-based (semantic) codes whereas late list positions rely on short-term, sound-based (phonological) codes. And w/ aging, we would expect more robust preservation of semantic (vs phonological) codes

I'm not a big poster, but had to share how proud I am of my postdoc, Lauri Gurguryan, for submitting the FIRST paper from my lab 🎉

Here, we ask a classic ? Do short- and long-term memory rely on separate or shared underlying stores

Aging and false memories: Comparing effects of item-relatedness and list position
Semantic false memories are traditionally more frequent from early list positions and thought to arise from presumed long-term memory stores whereas phonological false memories traditionally are more ...

🧠 Paper out!

We investigated how hippocampal and cortical ripples support memory during movie watching. We found that:

🎬 Hippocampal ripples mark event boundaries
🧩 Cortical ripples predict later recall

Ripples may help transform real-life experiences into lasting memories!

Movie-watching evokes ripple-like activity within events and at event boundaries
Nature Communications - The neural processes involved in memory formation for realistic experiences remain poorly understood. Here, the authors found that ripple-like activity in the human...

The devastation from the SoCal 🔥 is heartbreaking. We’re lucky that our family is safe, but, unfortunately, my colleague John Franchak’s house was destroyed. If you are able to help at all, his family has a GoFundMe page setup to help them try to rebuild:

My lab at UCRiverside is once again recruiting grad students - come join us if you're interested in studying memory using EEG and/or fMRI in younger and older adults!

You can check out more info on my grad app FAQ: bit.ly/dzmac

Lots of my other fab colleagues are also recruiting: bit.ly/ccngrad

With colleagues at ALBA, I'm running an international climate survey for #LGBTQIA+ people in #neuroscience (including #psychology, #psychiatry, etc). It takes 10-20 min & you can enter a drawing for gift cards.

The FIFTH Black In Neuro Week is just a few weeks away. Here’s a sneak peak at our day themes, and keep an eye out for registration details. #BINW24 #BlackInSTEM #Neuroscience 🧪
A vibrant announcement for Black In Neuro Week 2024, detailing the event schedule from July 29- August 4. The central text, "Black In Neuro Week 2024," is displayed in an orange circle. Each day of the week is listed with a specific hashtag theme: Monday, July 29: #BlackInNeuro RollCall (in a yellow bubble).  Tuesday, July 30: #NeuroAcrossTheDiaspora (in a light green bubble). Wednesday, July 31: #BlackInNeuroCareers (in a blue bubble). Thursday, August 1: #NeuroRacism (in a light blue bubble). Friday, August 2: #BlackInNeuroFutures (in a purple bubble). Saturday, August 3: #BlackJoyInNeuro (in a light pink bubble). Sunday, August 4: #BlackRestInNeuro (in a red bubble). The design includes the hashtag #BINW24 and the Black In Neuro logo located in the bottom left corner.

Are you an early career scientist interested in the peer review process? Have you been asked to provide critical feedback for a manuscript submission or need more information on how to respond to reviewers? Black In Neuro and Reviewer Zero have you covered!

(Post 1 of 2)
Text at the top aligned in the middle says, Peer Review 101 in Black letters and a yellow shadow behind the text. To the left there’s animage of two hands reviewing a paper with a pen. Text in black to the right says, Are you an early career scientist interested in the peer review process? Text in the middle in black says, Join Black In Neuro and Reviewer Zero for a virtual workshop that will provide concrete tools for responding to manuscript reviews. November 30, 2023, 8 AM PT/11 AM ET/3 PM GMT. Text in black says Register Today with text overlaying yellow oval. On bottom left is the logo for Reviewer Zero with the zero symbolizing showing a budding seed. On the bottom right is the Black In Neuro logo (a drawing of a side profile view of a Black individual’s head looking upward with their brain visible and the words Black In Neuro written in their hair). Flyer has miscellaneous shapes throughout colored pink, blue, and yellow as accents.
