My lab is hiring two full-time research assistants! One position is for a project on spatial navigation across the lifespan, with a focus on midlife aging and menopause. The other is for functional imaging and spatial reference frames. recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF10136 recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF10137

With some trepidation, I'm putting this out into the world: gershmanlab.com/textbook.html It's a textbook called Computational Foundations of Cognitive Neuroscience, which I wrote for my class. My hope is that this will be a living document, continuously improved as I get feedback.

how important are space and time to memory? the surprising result from a new paper with graduate student Sameer Sabharwal-Siddiqi is that several measures of space and time show no correlation with the richness of episodic memories! check it out: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Naturalistic movements enrich episodic memories but not their spatiotemporal structure
It remains unclear how episodic memories, our memories for past events, are generated from the rich sensory details encompassing everyday experience. …

what happens when you spend two weeks learning new navigation or memory skills? as shown in our recent paper below, brain network connectivity changes but not hippocampal or other brain volumes! special thanks to collaborators Li Zheng and Steve Weisberg elifesciences.org/articles/106...
elifesciences.org
Newly trained navigation and verbal memory skills in humans elicit changes in task-related networks but not brain structure
Learning new navigation or memory skills engages flexible brain network dynamics without altering gray matter, white matter, or hippocampal structure.

This is truly amazing. 85% accurate test in 45 minutes. The work was funded by the National Cancer Institute of the National Institutes of Health. Good thinking on the part of Trump/Musk to cut its funding. Make Cancer Great Again.

Does the hippocampus play a time-limited or perpetual role in spatial memory? In naturalistic tasks, the hippocampus is NOT necessary for gross representations of large-scale environments. But it plays a long-lasting role in memory for local layouts and details. #neuroskyence @PsychSciSky

I wrote a j-club commentary on a recent article published in #Jneurosci by @neurosteel.bsky.social et al. I discuss the phenomenon of retrieval-related 'anterior shift' and I highlight the implications that this work has on studies examining neural reinstatement. www.jneurosci.org/content/44/1...

Very pleased to announce our recent paper on aging and spatial memory in PNAS with research scientist Dr. Li Zheng! We find both age-related and performance-related heterogeneity that contribute to older adults having, on average, worse spatial memory. Check it out! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

New paper in #Jneurosci !⭐ doi.org/10.1523/JNEU... Prior work suggests that age-related reductions in neural selectivity are restricted to the scene-responsive cortex. We show that age effects for other visual categories are observed when selectivity is measured at the level of individual stimuli.

Dissociative effects of age on neural differentiation at the category and item level
Increasing age is associated with age-related neural dedifferentiation, a reduction in the selectivity of neural representations, which has been proposed to contribute to cognitive decline in older ag...
