Thrilled to share that our work is now published in Science! ✨

We found a preference for visual objects in the mouse spatial navigation system where they dynamically refine head-direction coding. In short, objects boost our inner compass! 🧭

Well that's a spanner in the works. Transient CaMKII inhibition in the amygdala blocks the short term memory (1h) but the long term memory (>1 day) still forms!!!!

Brilliant work from the Yasuda lab

Formation of long-term memory without short-term memory revealed by CaMKII inhibition - Nature Neuroscience
Inhibiting CaMKII impairs short-term memory (STM) in mice during an avoidance task but does not affect long-term memory (LTM). This suggests that STM and LTM are processed differently, with CaMKII cri...

Behold, our first #Neuroskyence thread! :) About one of our favourite questions: As a neuroscientist, should you average across trials to get pretty things like receptive fields and population vectors? Or should you resist the urge?

The effect of seeing scientists as intellectually humble on trust in scientists and their research - Nature Human Behaviour
Across five pre-registered studies, Koetke et al. find that perceptions of scientists’ intellectual humility positively affect the perceived trustworthiness of scientists and their research.

Scientists developed a promising therapy to put brakes on #asthma via genetically engineered CAR-T immune cells, which has been proven to induce durable remission of #asthma in mice after a single injection, potentially offering a one-time treatment for the disease.

🌟 Cai Lab Nature (@natureportfolio.bsky.social) paper alert! In work led by Joe Zaki, we find that rest periods after learning not only stabilize new memories BUT ALSO integrate new memories with older ones from days past! (1/10)
