Awesome morphological analysis of the bite stress for a bunch of large carnivorous dinosaurs.
So much that can be inferred about different feeding/hunting behaviors!

Cortico-hippocampal interactions underlie schema-supported memory encoding in older adults
New paper led by @shenyanghuang.bsky.social!

Older adults' memory benefits from richer semantic contexts. We found connectivity patterns supporting this semantic scaffolding.

My new university's logo is a PSI! How frickin cool is that!
Help me grow a new lab at in IU Bloomington! We're seeking brilliant young scientists interested in memory representations, neuromodulation & aging.
Coordinator: bit.ly/3Hu3UzT
Postdoc: bit.ly/4oBZF6j
Accepting GS apps in the Fall!

Theta-burst stimulation can affect glymphatic function (differentially in APOE4+/-), and this change correlates with memory improvements.

Last week, I had the honor of hooding my first graduate students, Cortney Howard and @shenyanghuang.bsky.social (w @felipedebrigard.bsky.social).
Ceremonies like these bring clarity to the complex process of academic study.
I know now that what we do is sacred.
