We’re excited to share that members of the SCANN Lab will be presenting two posters (as part of the Sketchpad Series!) at #CNS2026!
Previews are below and here: scannlab.org/cns-2026
Drop by and say hello if you’re at CNS!

I'm not gonna touch most of this but two things:
1. The apprenticeship model of science was never supposed to be about the PI's workflow. The point isn't to have research assistants to help to publish stuff faster. Training the next generation researcher *is* the point. Because we care. Allegedly.
Human hippocampal theta–gamma coupling coordinates sequential planning during navigation
Impressive study from Dan Bush's Lab at UCL:

1/6 Happy to share our new paper with @grassocamille.bsky.social and @virginievanw.bsky.social: "Nested contextual change and the temporal compression of episodic memory". www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Are episodic and semantic memory really that different? Using closely matched tasks, we found no substantial neural differences between recalling personal experiences and general knowledge: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-025-02390-4

How do we balance external attention to the outside world and internal attention to our thoughts & memories?
We review evidence that external and internal attention can compete, unfold concurrently, or cooperate!
Loved working on this with @samversc.bsky.social & @tobiasegner.bsky.social!
Congrats Daniel!
