Long-term effects of working memory retrieval from prioritized and deprioritized states - Communications Psychology Testing items in working memory improves long-term memory, especially for deprioritized items. This benefit shows when WM retrieval requires continuous recall, suggesting self-generated reports streng...

#NeuroJobs

Sosa Lab - Postdoctoral Researchers We are seeking postdocs to start in 2026!

The Sosa Lab is going to #SfN25 and actively recruiting ✨postdocs✨ with systems neuroscience experience! We study both fundamental memory processes and how memory changes during pregnancy and postpartum.

If you are interested in meeting at SfN, please email me! www.sosaneurolab.com/join/postdoc...

🚀 We are hiring! 🚀

🔍 Join us as a Postdoctoral Researcher (fully-funded) at the Helmholtz Institute for Human-Centered AI in Munich.

Super happy to see this review out! We ask why people are so reluctant to abandon goals and how this commitment could be understood computationally. Work with Jill O'Reilly & @yaelniv.bsky.social

📘🧠💥@fabianrenz.bsky.social , @nicoschuck.bsky.social & I thought about methods to measure brain plasticity and wrote an overview of exciting new methods and developments!

If you're an undergrad student in North America, UK or Ireland, consider coming to Hamburg for a cool DAAD internship on prediction error effects on memory! Hosted by yours truly, @nicoschuck.bsky.social & @stresscognition.bsky.social. 📨 until Nov 30: Hamburg_BI_0606 www.daad.de/rise/rise-germany

Goal-directed behavior and hippocampal activity predict real-life impact of drinking intentions in alcohol use disorder - Translational Psychiatry Translational Psychiatry - Goal-directed behavior and hippocampal activity predict real-life impact of drinking intentions in alcohol use disorder

Ever wondered whether goal-directed behavior on lab-based tasks and its neural correlates can predict behavior in day-to-day life? We did too and our study is finally out in Translational Psychiatry! 🧠

We explore the use of cognitive theories/models with real-world data for understanding mental health.

We review emerging studies and discuss challenges and opportunities of this approach.

Looking for a PhD/postdoc in computational psychiatry? Look no further!
Ondrej is a great scientist and mentor and his lab is certain to be an exciting place to be ⚡️

Some similarities matter, others don’t—a great Labatut book with a yellow cover means books by Labatut are good, not yellow books are good. Factorized representations support such selective generalization. Check out our study on select. gen. by Sam HallMcMaster in collab with @gershbrain.bsky.social

Replay in the human visual cortex during brief task pauses is linked to implicit learning of successor representations | PNAS Humans can implicitly learn about multistep sequential relationships between events in the environment from their statistical co-occurrence. Theore...

Delighted to share our work on replay and successor representations! We find replay during very short task pauses in human visual cortex that is linked to learning SRs & happens when learning is implicit. Study led by @lnnrtwttkhn.bsky.social

1/ Can we accurately detect sequential replay in humans using Temporally Delayed Linear Modelling (#TDLM)? In our recent study, we could not find any replay and decided to dig deeper by running a hybrid simulation with surprising results. Link to preprint & details below 👇

Big thank you to my co-authors, the editor and the reviewers.

Excited for my first RLDM! Come say hi at the posters this evening :)

It’s a Preprint! 👋

We show how we can dissociate perceptual from value-based mechanisms of generalisation + that stronger gen. in anxiety is associated with value rather than perception.

Navigating uncertainty: reward location variability induces reorganization of hippocampal spatial representations Navigating uncertainty is crucial for survival, with the location and availability of reward varying in different and unsignalled ways. Hippocampal place cell populations over-represent salient locati...

Curious how place cells adapt to uncertainty in reward location? We found that predictable changes boost “reward place cells” & warp hippocampal maps. Check out our new preprint: with Feng Xuan, Jack Mellor, Peter Dayan and Dan Dombeck: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
