An image of Professor Clare Mackay, Professor of Neuroscience, with a quote from her saying: 

"Many of us with BFRBs know that shame plays a huge role, so it is no surprise that it shows up strongly in this group. What is important is that we have demonstrated that shame is already prevalent in young people aged 13-18, and that it strongly relates to depression and anxiety.โ€

The ApoE2, longevity & cognitive resilience triad raises the tantalizing (& least understood relationship) possibility that cognitive resilience may promote lifespan, as suggested by cognitively resilient centenarians (100-plus study). Identities of mechanisms remain elusive. 1/2

Client Challenge

would result in a DG optimized to flexibly recruit new neurons to generate distinct representations. GABAergic inhibition-dep. reduction of interference btw memory indexes preserved their integrity. This study explains how this obviates need for pattern separation.

With some trepidation, I'm putting this out into the world:
gershmanlab.com/textbook.html
It's a textbook called Computational Foundations of Cognitive Neuroscience, which I wrote for my class.

My hope is that this will be a living document, continuously improved as I get feedback.
