🐭🧠 We study communication in brain networks, combining #MRI with #ephys, #brainstimulation (electrical and #optogenetic) and behavioral experiments. We are interested in #memory updating and psychiatric conditions, taking a translational approach.

#Introduction
Thank you Aldo!
We learnt that a triplet isn’t just jazz, it can set the hidden rhythm of a neuronal ensemble!
Today we had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Aldo Genovesio from @uniupo.bsky.social at our #SeminarsIN with his talk: “What do we learn by shifting focus from neurons to neuronal assemblies?”
A fantastic lecture, thank you! 👏👏

Jeremy Bowen's long, measured, objective, but ultimately entirely clear and conclusive essay on Israeli war crimes. As Jonathan Sumption puts it:

"These things make genocide the most plausible explanation for what is now happening."

New Study Out Now!
We investigated how deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the nucleus accumbens (NAc) affects memory. www.nature.com/npp/

Title: NAc-DBS selectively enhances memory updating without effect on retrieval
