New preprint from our group by Janna Lendner: Human REM sleep controls neural excitability in support of memory formation. A thread. (1/7) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I am happy to share our new paper now on @Science. We discovered that rapid eye movements (REM) during sleep provide a readout of the internal representation of head direction, suggesting they could reveal gaze shifts in dreams. Link:science.org/doi/epdf/10.11… -Brief🧵follows⬇️ 1/7

Feeling like GRR Martin here, but after 5-6 years it is finally out! Can't even explain why it took such time as we had a clear idea what we were looking for: spatial computing! nature.com/articles/s4146… Several follow ups in progress. Hopefully will not take another 5 years...

Dr. An Wu, a good friend and a brilliant neuroscientist from UCSD, is missing during the major fire in an Airbnb at Montreal after attending the CosyneMeeting. We have been desperately looking for her for >72 hours. My heart goes out to her family. CBC News Sarah Leavitt

Excited to share my new collaboration with Lukas Kunz (@lks_kunz ) in which we show that neurons in the human brain encode 2D positions in space.... an emotion space, that is, defined by valence and arousal! And, they do it, dare I say, in a grid-like pattern?

How does the hippocampal awake ripple play a role in facilitating emotional memory encoding? Excited to share my work with IvanSkelin and Jack Lin, now published in Nature Communications! Check out more here rdcu.be/du45w

New work led by Haoxin Zhang and Jack Lin shows using human intracranial recordings that post-encoding awake ripples enhance mnemonic discrimination for emotional events. Collab with Ivan Skelin, Bob Knight et al. Nature Communications UCI CNLM UC Irvine nature.com/articles/s4146…
