Our amazing department (Psychology) at U-Miami is hiring in their Adult division, with open topic / focus area! Come apply and check out the job ad here: umiami.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/UMFaculty/jo...:

Today’s grad cog neuro course is being taught by your very own Hippo (on) campus!

And yes, he feels strongly about his position atop the Felleman / Van Essen wiring diagram

U-Miami has a postdoctoral mentored research training program in Alzheimer's / neurodegeneration, with 2 years of funding for fellows. If you're interested in my lab and applying cognitive neuroscience and precision neuroimaging methods to studying AD, please reach out! mbi-umiami.org/training/

Skimming this excellent autobiography of Charles Gross ahead of going over object recognition systems in cog neuro course on Tuesday (www.sfn.org/-/media/SfN/...), and there are some *gems* in here.... "Both spoke only the hermetic jargon each had created so no communication was possible."

This is a large premise of the Barbas structural model! :) that cortical laminar types are very related to feedforward/feedback connectional patterns pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

there are many! (from recent OHBM anatomy session slides on PFC)

This makes sense to me for the myelin-related or func. conn. gradient maps, but for fMRI GLMs/models in cog neuro? For the latter, testing diff. models to see what voxels fit well (and which don’t) across task and stimulus conditions seems important and leads to cool findings of RPEs, semantic maps

At #OHBM2025 in Brisbane? I'm presenting at ~9am tomorrow on structural-functional architectures in the PFC as part of the neuroanatomy educational session! (Which honors the late Karl Zilles)

Full session details: ww6.aievolution.com/hbm2501/Events/viewEv?ev=2229 @ohbmofficial.bsky.social

From the legendary Marian Diamond.. ahead of her time there too?

"dlPFC" is such a loaded term... I'd love if more exact recording electrode images were shared so they could be measured relative to anatomical landmarks!

this definitely looks more like FEF/8a/ish... but all depends which old anatomist's drawings you like :)

Now out at @elife.bsky.social, a short Insight article I wrote highlighting this cool paper from Qing Yu's lab! They show how working memory representations in human frontal cortex are flexible based on task goals and rules. (elifesciences.org/articles/100..., elifesciences.org/articles/106...)

@umiamipsych.bsky.social celebrating the centennial of the University of Miami! (And I finally met Sebastian the Ibis, who is unfortunately overqualified to work in the lab, but may be willing to write me a letter of support)

I’m planning to hire an RA for my new lab at the University of Miami (www.jam-lab.org) to start August 1st! Please feel free to get in touch or share with anyone who may be interested! umiami.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/UMCareerStaff/job/Coral-Gables-FL/Research-Associate---Psychology_R100085344-1

NEK / East Burke, VT area is a dream… 🙏🏼 I have fun (and painful) memories of biking the trails there in the foliage time

And the epicenter is… 👀

Check out our work on the circuitry of WM-action interplay, led by the ever-inspiring Anastasia Kiyonaga! Two distinct TMS protocols to lPFC differentially interfered with proactive vs. reactive control mechanisms between WM and action goals, suggesting multiple timescales of adaptive control in PFC

Excited to announce I'll be joining the University of Miami Psychology Department as an asst. professor in Jan '25!

My lab will study working memory, cognition, and PFC functional architecture using precision neuroimaging. Stay tuned for recruiting news and more!

At SfN? Come check out my poster at 1pm tomorrow (Mon.) afternoon from @johndmurray.bsky.social’s lab! (VV6) We dive into anatomical-functional relationships and spatial scales of coding for WM in NHP lPFC, analyzing an amazing calcium imaging dataset from the group of Liping Wang.
