The same dendritic segments are preferentially activated by linked contextual memories, and spines added after linked memories are allocated to the same dendritic segments Megha Sehgal Alcino J Silva Yiota Poirazi Brain Research UCLA Ohio State Psychology Ohio State Chronic Brain Injury Program nature.com/articles/s4159…

So excited for our latest collaborative publication led by the brilliant Megha Sehgal , previously in the lab of Alcino J Silva on dendritic memory #engrams! Check it out!

New research, published in Nature Neuroscience reveals that dendritic plasticity is essential for linking contextual memories! Dr. George Kastellakis, in Poirazi Lab at @IMBB_FORTH, contributed to this study under the supervision of Dr. Yiota Poirazi. nature.com/articles/s4159…

1/ New findings from Megha Sehgal et al. reveal that dendritic branches in neurons play a key role in linking memories over time Here's a thread on the paper's key findings, methods, and implications for neuroscience 👇


Congrats Jackie Gio Kate Wassum 🧠👩🏼🔬 and team on these very impressive findings!! Give it a read!

🚨📃New Wassum Lab Paper📃🚨 Jackie Gio discovered brain pathways that support agency and habit and how chronic stress disrupts them to rob of us our agency and cause us to form rigid habits 🧵👇 nature.com/articles/s41... Free full text: rdcu.be/eaxEv


We are excited to share our latest work showing that mice display rescue-like prosocial behavior toward unresponsive partners. Science Magazine science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Delighted to share this new work from the lab. A tour-de-force from Cassie Klune Caitlin Goodpaster and Michael Gongwer showing how the maturation of frontolimbic circuits underlies developmental milestones in threat avoidance behaviors.




📰Dendrites Press Excited about our latest research highlighted in Medical Xpress. Our collaborative work with Alcino J Silva at UCLA, led by the brilliant Megha Sehgal sheds light on the mechanisms of memory linking, which remained a mystery for years. medicalxpress.com/news/2025-03-d…
