🚨Preprint: Semantic Tuning of Single Neurons in the Human Medial Temporal Lobe

1/8: How do human neurons encode meaning?
In this work, led by Katharina Karkowski, we recorded hundreds of human MTL neurons to study semantic coding in the human brain:

How does our brain learn that thunder follows lightning? We don't just remember two separate events; we build a predictive model to anticipate the world. My research dives into this very question: how we learn and predict the order of events. 🧵👇 1/9 #neuroscience #memory #sleep

Congrats to our amazing postdoc @mskehl.bsky.social for their fantastic talk at the REPLAY conference in Cardiff! 🧠 Their work on "Human ripples facilitate memory consolidation by reactivating learning-related neurons" sparked many great discussions. Proud lab cheering him on!

I’m looking for a postdoc and RA for an ERC-funded project “SLEEPAWAY: Forgetting unwanted memories in sleep”. You’ll use MEG/EEG and fMRI to understand how the sleeping brain remembers and forgets. PLEASE REPOST 😊

Just published my first paper!
Really grateful to everyone at the plasticity lab @oxcin.bsky.social who made this possible.

huge thanks to my co-authors — couldn’t have done it without you.

📣 New paper alert! 📣

🔎 The RISES Study looked at the sleep regularity index in stroke survivors compared to people who haven't had a stroke.

New paper out in SLEEP @sleepjournals.bsky.social!

In his study, Jude Thom shows how cortical regions excited by tDCS before sleep express more spindles during subsequent sleep. doi.org/10.1093/slee...

Our final 2 lab members @pinchunc.bsky.social and Jude Thom did a fantastic job with their poster presentations at the final day of #CNS2025 in Boston today! It was a great way to wrap up the conference. An amazing showcase of everyones hard work!

Hi friends,

If you’re attending #CNS2025, come check out my poster (F5) tomorrow (April 1st) from 8-10am on my recent work with @bstaresina.bsky.social: Cortical Signatures of Hippocampal Ripples in Human Sleep.😴

Or just come say hi! 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️

@cogneuronews.bsky.social

🎉 Big shoutout to our amazing lab members who presented their posters at #CNS2025! 🎉

So great to see @mskehl.bsky.social , @manqisha.bsky.social , @xianhuihe.bsky.social and Mathew Thomas Kollamkulam showcasing their hard work and research! 🧠

Some behind-the-scenes shots of them in action 👇

What a great start to #CNS2025!

@manqisha.bsky.social kicked of the first session with her Data Blitz on ‘Coupled sleep rhythms in the human hippocampus support memory consolidation’

The Staresina Lab is ready for CNS 2025 in Boston!🇺🇸

If you are around come and check out our work at the following poster sessions:
