Hippocampal structure is impacted by extreme environments
June 27, 2022
We are excited to share our newest Frontiers in Neuroscience paper showing CA subfield volumes – known to be sensitive to social stimuli – also track normative variation in family dynamics in kids and adults.

In our newest preprint, we find that the hippocampus and precuneus represent hidden structures underlying events; this may facilitate inductive inference based on event relationships! Learn more here. ... Read more » Hidden structures underlying events in the brain
Where knowledge of famous people and places are represented in the brain
February 9, 2021
In our new paper pin the Journal of Neuroscience, we use Wikipedia to search for representations of semantic knowledge in the brain. We dine that knowledge of famous people and places is represented in distinct cortical networks. Learn more by following this link. ...

Reactivation of related memory during learning
January 27, 2021
In our new paper in the Journal of Neuroscience, we find that when a related memory is reactivated during learning, different hippocampal subfields form distinct integrated and differentiated memory representations.
