this might be more a of Twitter-heyday-era throwback, but for folks coming to #SfN25 my lab has 2 awesome posters on Sat 1-5pm! In GG2 we look at the impact of contextual overlap on brain activity patterns & in HH5 we try to understand why overlapping information can sometimes help vs hurt learning

ooh thanks for flagging that parallel finding!

thanks!!

thank you!!!

Anyhow, these results are probably most exciting to my fellow #memorynerds, but excited to share this work w/ everyone. Code & data publicly available: github.com/dzmemoryandc... Comments/suggestions always welcome!

And, although OA overall recall less items and make more memory errors than YA, everyone shows similar patterns in their memory errors: (1) More sound-based than meaning-based memory errors and (2) More memory errors from the earliest study positions. Again, evidence for shared memory stores.

But here, we find evidence for SHARED memory stores & CONTINUITY of processing w aging. Both YA & OA make meaning- and sound-based errors (“false memories”) from ALL list positions. This is exciting because it refutes the idea that the type of coding is tied to different underlying memory stores.

Classically, we would predict that early list positions rely on long-term, meaning-based (semantic) codes whereas late list positions rely on short-term, sound-based (phonological) codes. And w/ aging, we would expect more robust preservation of semantic (vs phonological) codes

Aging and false memories: Comparing effects of item-relatedness and list position Semantic false memories are traditionally more frequent from early list positions and thought to arise from presumed long-term memory stores whereas phonological false memories traditionally are more ...

I'm not a big poster, but had to share how proud I am of my postdoc, Lauri Gurguryan, for submitting the FIRST paper from my lab 🎉

Here, we ask a classic ? Do short- and long-term memory rely on separate or shared underlying stores

Movie-watching evokes ripple-like activity within events and at event boundaries Nature Communications - The neural processes involved in memory formation for realistic experiences remain poorly understood. Here, the authors found that ripple-like activity in the human...

🧠 Paper out!

We investigated how hippocampal and cortical ripples support memory during movie watching. We found that:

🎬 Hippocampal ripples mark event boundaries
🧩 Cortical ripples predict later recall

Ripples may help transform real-life experiences into lasting memories!

Congrats 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 and thanks for being an amazing role model both in terms of the work you’re doing & putting out and the human you show up as in the world

Congrats!!!!! Can’t wait to see all the great work & students you will train

The devastation from the SoCal 🔥 is heartbreaking. We’re lucky that our family is safe, but, unfortunately, my colleague John Franchak’s house was destroyed. If you are able to help at all, his family has a GoFundMe page setup to help them try to rebuild:
