At #SFN2025? Into sleep, brain rhythms, or single-unit–based memory reactivation? Then you absolutely should check out @fabian31415.bsky.social's poster. I might be biased, but this is some truly awesome work.

The Preston Lab will be at @sfn.org #SfN2025! Come see what we've been working on 🧠

We'll discuss how kids & adults remember when things happen, how memory changes impact reasoning & how we learn different actions have different consequences based on the setting.

Find us Monday & Wednesday 🤘

One last reminder that I’m recruiting a graduate student through the Cognition & Neural Science area @utah.edu this Fall! The lab uses MRI to study healthy cognitive aging across the adult lifespan and will start assessing factors that moderate cognitive aging (air pollution, cardiovascular health).
