Time for another #memorymonday! Here we have interesting work from @J9Kwapis (#keepingupwithkwapis) & @MarceloWoodUCI demonstrating that overexpressing CREB-regulator gene Nr4a2 in the hippocampus can rescue age-related memory deficits in @JNeuroscience. jneurosci.org/content/early/…

HDAC3-Mediated Repression of the Nr4a Family Contributes to Age-Related Impairments in Long-Term...

Aging is accompanied by cognitive deficits, including impairments in long-term memory formation. Understanding the molecular mechanisms that support preserved cognitive function in aged animals is a...

"Publish like you are building a house" - build the idea and have a mixed portfolio of papers - it's a long game - wise advice from @MarinaP63 of @JNeuroscience

Just spend two great days @ the new Tulane Brain Institute. New Orleans is rebuilt and better than ever with 20 new hotels and a new airport this spring. It is time to bring #sfn back to New Orleans!! Do you agree?

Landmark studies of human behavior are being reevaluated: "We’re finding that many things aren’t as robust as we thought.” nyti.ms/2NkHorx

Psychology Itself Is Under Scrutiny (Published 2018)

Many famous studies of human behavior cannot be reproduced. Even so, they revealed aspects of our inner lives that feel true.

All C57BL/6Js are mice, but not all mice are C57BL/6Js. Just because C57BL/6Js don’t model a trait of interest doesn’t mean it can’t be modeled in mice. Modeling polygenetic traits and complex human diseases requires genetically diverse mice. There is #noonesizefitsallmouse xitter.cf/jaredwyoung/status/101…

“Low plastic stool, cheap but delicious noodles, cold Hanoi beer.” This is how I’ll remember Tony. He taught us about food — but more importantly, about its ability to bring us together. To make us a little less afraid of the unknown. We’ll miss him.

Sad news. Just learned that Peter Milner has passed away just shy of his 99th birthday. Lovely man. I was in touch with him a few years back. He generously offered first-person (and frank) insights into Lashley, Hebb, engrams and ensembles. He will be missed!

I led a student workshop at the Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology where Jerzy Konorski worked. He coined the term ‘neural plasticity’, proposed what is now known as operant conditioning and beat Hebb to the idea that synapses strengthen with use. @nencki @uiowaneuro
