Now you recall it, now you don’t: Working memory performance fluctuates with a theta rhythm
In this issue of Neuron, Han et al. leverage a change-identification working memory
task coupled with electrophysiological recordings in the macaque frontal eye field
to show that information retrieva...

It essentially asks: how much of cognitive neuroscience can be formalized through the lens of Bayesian decision theory? (Answer: a lot)
The book tries to take Marr's levels seriously, showing how computational, algorithmic, and neural levels fit together.

With some trepidation, I'm putting this out into the world:
gershmanlab.com/textbook.html
It's a textbook called Computational Foundations of Cognitive Neuroscience, which I wrote for my class.
My hope is that this will be a living document, continuously improved as I get feedback.

🧵Our new preprint shows how the brain develops to transform how kids, teens & adults represent & navigate their world: shifting from local, moment-to-moment memories in childhood to integrated, global cognitive maps in adulthood 🧠

Hippocampal transformations occur along dimensions of memory interference
The role of the hippocampus in resolving memory interference has been greatly elucidated by considering the relationship between the similarity of visual stimuli (input) and corresponding similarity o...

How do we update our predictions when our environment changes?
The hippocampus rapidly integrates previously distinct sequences to support updated predictions.

The Hippocampus Rapidly Integrates Sequence Representations During Novel Multistep Predictions
Memories for temporally extended sequences can be used adaptively to predict future events on multiple timescales, a function that relies on the hippocampus. For such predictions to be useful, they sh...

How do the brain’s event representations change as we gain familiarity with an experience?
Brain regions’ representations can become coarser or finer as event familiarity increases. Fine-tuning predicts memory recall.
