What a treat to start the new year with a new paper from the lab, with @azayhara ! @hongyu_chang and Wenbo Tang found that pupil dynamics in naturally sleeping mice uncover a microstructure of sleep that organizes different types of memory replay: nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

I'm happy to share our recent work with @alexophir! This was a fun one to get out the door, as it began as a collaboration between two honors students in our labs. Turns out, prairie voles don't respond to social isolation in the same ways as mice. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

What if traumatic memories could be erased? In a Q&A, Beckman Director Steve Maren (@StephenMaren) reflects on his cinematic start to science, explains his fascination with the amygdala and explores on emotional memories both personal and scientific. 💬 go.beckman.illinois.edu/Mare…

Super proud of @CLau29410995 ‘s phd work. She shows that the retrosplenial cortex (not the hippocampus) simultaneously possesses spatial signals anchor in local and global spaces in connected environments. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

The idea that environmental enrichment promotes neural plasticity is so engrained in neuroscience that the main architect of this idea, Mark Rosenzweig, is always overlooked. I suppose that is a testament to the penetrance of his work, but would be nice for folks to acknowledge.
