Exciting news!! I’m joining the tenure-track faculty at University of Colorado Boulder this fall as an Assistant Professor of Psychology & Neuroscience! The Sosa Lab will study how memory is shaped by cognitive and physiological demands, including during pregnancy and the postpartum period. 🧵

New opinion paper in @cp-trendsneuro.bsky.social with Dan Bendor, where we argue that rodent studies provide only marginal support for the idea that replay supports real-time decisions (e.g. planning). Fictive learning and memory tagging are more consistent w/evidence. www.cell.com/trends/neuro...

Two cool papers out in Neuron today on memory. 1. Animals can be trained to activate specific remote memories at will: www.cell.com/neuron/fullt... 2. Interactions between cortex and amygdala during reactivation in NREM sleep help enhance perceptual memories: www.cell.com/neuron/fullt... 🧠📈 🧪

Happy to share the latest version of our work on compositional maps in hippocampus with Jo Warren, @jcrwhittington.bsky.social, @behrenstimb.bsky.social. We propose hippocampus constructs maps from cortical building blocks in replay – now with empirical support! www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1/9

Excited to share our latest story! We found disentangled memory representations in the hippocampus that generalized across time and environments, despite the seemingly random drift and remapping of single cells. This code enabled the transfer of prior knowledge to solve new tasks

“This is the greatest pressure put on intellectual life since the McCarthy era,” Mr. Roth said in an interview. “And I think it’ll be seen in the future, as that time was seen, as a time when people either stood up for their values or ran in fear of the federal government.” - President of Wesleyan

New paper out! Led by @michaelecoulter.bsky.social, we learned that rats can learn to use content-specific neurofeedback to generate specific remote hippocampal representations. surprisingly, this occurs outside of SWRs!

Animal models of memory retrieval trigger retrieval with cues and measure retrieval using behavior. We developed a neurofeedback paradigm for direct study of neural activity associated with memory retrieval by separating this from activity related to cues or behavior. www.cell.com/neuron/fullt...

There's a movement in neuroscience suggesting we should be pursuing bigger bets with larger teams. I think there's a case for doing a bit of this, but I think it's a bad idea to prioritise it for two reasons, and a good case for saying we should be moving in the exact opposite direction. 🧠🧪
