📢 New preprint from the lab: We are very excited to report the discovery of an oscillation in the Central Thalamus using rare direct recordings of human thalamic electrophysiology. The novel oscillation is tightly coupled to specific, natural states of consciousness.🧵

Shakespeare called sleep the “balm of hurt minds.” Sleep deprivation increases susceptibility to intrusive memories of traumatic experiences by disrupting prefrontal inhibition of memory retrieval during REM, according to an MRI study. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/full/10....

Suppressing memories promotes resilience! Terrorist attack survivors who recovered from PTSD showed normalised inhibitory control of the hippocampus during retrieval stopping before intrusive memory declines, mitigating hippocampal atrophy. #memory #PTSD #neuroskyence www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Why do we suffer from more intrusive thoughts when we're sleep deprived? Find out in this SciAm article on our latest work by @rachelnuwer.bsky.social, featuring @zarabergstrom.bsky.social and @marwimber.bsky.social www.scientificamerican.com/article/bad-...

Can someone forget much of their life? Yes! In Psychogenic amnesia, extreme stress leads to the loss of years of memories, including all the people the patient knows. Why? Read about what we have discovered in @laura-marsh.bsky.social‬ 's new paper or in the outstanding thread below #neuroskyence

Dr. Alkalame and colleagues examined the association between REM sleep prior to analog trauma and intrusive memories. Findings suggest REM sleep may serve to protect individuals against experiencing intrusive memories. academic.oup.com/sleep/articl...

I guess I should finally post something here. We recently reviewed what is currently known on how psychedelics acutely & post-acutely impact fear conditioning, extinction learning, episodic memory, & semantic memory & how such fx may speak to PTSD treatment. link.springer.com/article/10.1... 1/10
