Save the date for the annual "Neural Circuits and Behaviour" satellite conference at the Canadian Association for Neuroscience annual meeting, cohosted by @franklandlab.bsky.social and myself on May 18, 2026. We have a great speaker lineup and will be selecting 4 trainees talks from our registrants!

Same for me-- but work not gym (yet)

Depends how west is west side… Bricolage is the most west (College and Dufferin). Need to explore further west at some point.

This baguette is spot on. Airy, with near perfect crust. Delicious with some Wensleydale and some Branston! It’s up there with the best baguettes in the city (Bricolage and Amadeus). Need to do a side-by-side comparison.

Excited to continue my exploration of Toronto’s best baguettes. Next up the Johnson family bakery’s baguette (from the brother of @jimjohnsonsci.bsky.social)

Today was the final day of my three-month stay in Paul and Sheena’s lab.

It was short, but filled with unforgettable moments. I love the lab, the people, and this city.

I can’t put into words how grateful I am for everything. Thank you so much, @franklandlab.bsky.social and @sjo09.bsky.social

These time-dependent shifts in sub-engram engagement indicate that systems consolidation involves reorganization _within_ (as well as across) brain regions.

We provide evidence for projection-defined 'sub-engrams' that contribute differentially to memory expression at recent and remote delays.

New paper from the lab 🚨
Led by Ali Golbabaei, this study explores the how the composition of prefrontal cortical engrams changes with memory age:

This adds to an emerging picture that not only do new neurons influence encoding of new memories but they _shape_ and _remodel_ existing memories. These shifts in resolution may facilitate generalization of event based memories beyond the original situation.

Within hippocampal shifts in memory resolution depended on ongoing hippocampal neurogenesis. Blocking neurogenesis prevents time-dependent shifts in memory resolution, preserving hippocampal engrams in high fidelity β€˜recent memory’-like states.

We found hippocampal engrams were initially high resolution but lost resolution with time. In contrast, cortical engrams were low res and stayed low res over the course of systems consolidation
