Here's one of our nominations for the Aspirational Neuroscience 2025 Award! Sammons et al. at Charité–Universitätsmedizin Berlin. CA3 pyramidal neurons form a recurrent network sufficient for pattern completion. See more nominees and RSVP via our bio to join us at #SfN25.

Here's one of our nominations for the Aspirational Neuroscience 2025 Award! Ding et al. at Baylor College of Medicine found that functional connectomics reveals a general “like-to-like” wiring rule. See more nominees and RSVP via our bio to join us at #SfN25.

Here’s one of our nominations for the Aspirational Neuroscience 2025 Award! Uytiepo et al. at UCLA show that fear-memory engrams form through presynaptic growth of multisynaptic boutons, even without coordinated postsynaptic activation. #SfN25

Here’s one of our nominations for the Aspirational Neuroscience 2025 Award! Ko et al. at KAIST show that systems consolidation reorganizes hippocampal engram circuitry—CA3-to-CA1 synapses cluster as memories age, driven by adult-born neurons. #SfN25

Here's one of our nominations for the Aspirational Neuroscience 2025 Award! Chettih et al. show that each food-cache encodes a sparse hippocampal “barcode” orthogonal to place cells and reactivated on retrieval. #SfN25

Here's one of our nominations for the Aspirational Neuroscience 2025 Award! Dorkenwald et al. map ~2k synapses among L2/3 pyramidal neurons and find a bimodal size distribution—consistent with binary strength states plus analog noise. #SfN25

Here’s one of our nominations for the Aspirational Neuroscience 2025 Award! Wright et al. demonstrate compartmental plasticity, including apical potentiation from local coactivity (spike-independent) and basal requirements for pre- and post-coincidence (2-photon imaging). #SfN25

Here's one of our ten nominations for the Aspirational Neuroscience 2025 Award! Abatis et al. show fear learning strengthens recurrent LA-engram synapses, forming an attractor driving recall (viral tagging + 12-cell patch-clamp). See nominees & RSVP in bio. #SfN25

Here's one of our nominations for the Aspirational Neuroscience 2025 Award! Bittner et al. at HHMI Janelia/Stanford identified seconds-scale, non-Hebbian plasticity via dendritic plateaus that imprint CA1 place fields. Join us at #SfN25

Aspirational Neuroscience 2025 Nominee: Tavakoli et al. (Institute of Science and Technology Austria) developed a new technique, light-microscopy-based connectomics, to fully trace all neuronal connections in brain tissue using fluorescence microscopy. #SfN2025

Here's one of our ten nominations for the Aspirational Neuroscience 2025 Award! Lappalainen et al. fixed a recurrent network’s wiring to the Drosophila optic-lobe connectome, then task-optimized its remaining neuron/synapse parameters for optic-flow detection. #SfN2025
