iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Come hang out with me tomorrow afternoon at poster JJ5! I'll be sharing new work investigating how replay features like rate of occurrence, speed and self-avoidance change dynamically with learning at behaviorally relevant locations

My 4 year old just showed me the "book" she made at school explaining, "here's your book, I hope you like it. Don't forget to subscribe!"

I was in tears after a rough science day until my 4 year old hugs me and says "at least you have a great kid!"

This is one of the most outstanding examples of circuit understanding I've seen in a long time. The unification of theory and experiment is beautiful. When Malcolm presented this in my lab, the audience was cheering at the end, and one person shouted (non-ironically) "You did it!"

Our paper on foraging is now published in Neuron! Read it here: www.cell.com/neuron/fullt... This project was co-led by Michael Bukwich (not on Bluesky) and me, with major contributions from all co-authors. Huge thanks to the whole team!

Competitive integration of time and reward explains value-sensitive foraging decisions and frontal cortex ramping dynamics

Bukwich and Campbell et al. show that mice integrate elapsed time and reward intake, scaled by a latent patience variable, to decide when to leave virtual “patches.” Frontal cortex ramping activity ma...

SEEING THROUGH YOUR EYES 👁️: Excited to share our new paper (which is out now @nature.com !!) with Wenbo Tang, Antonio Fernandez-Ruiz✉️, and Azahara Oliva✉️: we discovered a novel sleep microstructure that promotes memory replay! #Neuroscience #hippocampus nature.com/articles/s41... 🧵 1/12👇

Sleep microstructure organizes memory replay - Nature

The temporal microstructure of the brain can multiplex distinct cognitive processes during sleep to support continuous learning.

I showed my 3 year old The Lion King once and now she's using "Hakuna Matata" as though it means "YOLO". I'm like, Sadie, don't jump off that ledge, you could really hurt yourself!" and she's like "Mama (sigh) Hakuna Matata".
