Starting soon at #SfN2022 at board QQ3 - a new look at the primacy effect and context from Nimay Kulkarni @TexasMemory lab. Anyone interested in a postdoc or postbac studying human memory neurophys should stop by.

Memory folks - please check out our new paper in @NatureComms from @TexasMemory. We identify neuronal assemblies (ensembles) in human MTL microwire recordings rdcu.be/cXOEF. We apply methods developed by Prof Buzsaki to identify assemblies during episodic memory 1/5

I would like to thank everyone at @TexasMemory and @UTSWBrain who made this study possible. And, of course, @bradlega for spearheading this effort. Big thanks to my co-authors Ryan Tan and @QasimEtAl, and my awesome advisor @neurojosh.

New results from Hye Yoo @TexasMemory we are excited to share in @NeuroImage_EiC:
We look at human MTL neurons that exhibit firing rate changes predicting encoding success. Some really cool properties...

UT Southwestern is the No. 1 global health care institution in the 2021 @NatureIndex for published research. One UTSW top article was by O'Donnell Brain Institute researchers in #neurosurgery & #neuroscience: bit.ly/3rLcDl5 More about the Index: go.nature.com/3j45s3A

Results with implications for models of hipp longitudinal specialization, as suggested by Poppenk and others. Hope to unify gene expression with physiological data going forward. Check out some of what @TexasMemory published about this previously:

Lots to dig in to - comparison with rodent models, genes associated with autism, cognition.. (1/2)

We measure assembly "flexibility" over longer time scales, following Hasselmo/Howard models, and demonstrate an association with recall success (more assembly flexibility = better performance).
Also, please DM if interested in working (as post doc) on data such as these.

New results: we apply Buzsaki/Harris methods for neuronal assembly identification to human MTL microelectrode recordings during memory. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Co-firing neurons are organized on gamma time scales, but at distinct phases of the gamma oscillation. Also...

Proud to be part of this work out in @NatureNeuro: nature.com/articles/s41593-0…
in collaboration with @KonopkaLab and the R maestro @StefanoBerto83. We try to link together brain oscillations in humans, episodic memory, and gene expression profiles.

New findings out now in Hippocampus (@wileyneurosci) looking at cross-regional phase amplitude coupling for MTL-cortical interactions:

New #JNeurosci research from @UTSWNews & @UT_Dallas provides direct electrophysiological evidence that slow theta (2-5 Hz) oscillatory power and phase reset in the hippocampus supports associative memories.
