How does the brain build a memory? A common assumption is that the neurons activated during an experience collectively form the memory engram. In our new Nature Neuroscience paper (finally out!), we show that this is not the case. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Deconstruction of a memory engram reveals distinct ensembles recruited at learning - Nature Neuroscience
Pouget et al. identified distinct CA1 neuron ensembles active during specific moments of fear learning and uncovered the core engram essential for memory formation.

Meditations on memory | Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... It was an honour to review @okaysteve.bsky.social ’s How to Change a Memory for Science. The book speaks for itself, bold, inspiring, and full of soul. I’m just proud to highlight the incredible work behind it. So proud of you, Steve

1/3 How does visual input affect the heading direction (HD) network? In our latest lab preprint, Ryosuke presents "visual landmarks" to larval zebrafish and shows that the HD network tethers to the visual environment. The experiments are again inspired by the beautiful recent work in Drosophila.

An amazing collaboration to be a part of: We helped @gisellavetere.bsky.social & @clementpouget.bsky.social simultaneously deliver 3 AAV constructs to Ca1 neurons. What they then acheived blew me away - the tagging of cells recruited in memory encoding with a temporal resolution of mere seconds!

Do you think you’ve conquered the enigma of the memory engram? News flash: You’re only scratching the surface. :) In our latest work (led by @Clement), we dissected the engram to uncover what information is processed during encoding and becomes the essence of the recalled memory.

A study in Nature Neuroscience identifies a prefrontal–pontomedullary pathway that slows breathing and reduces anxiety in mice. The findings explain a circuit basis for top-down control of breathing, which can influence emotional states. 🔒 go.nature.com/3CUtPy3
This is figure 1, which shows the identification of a cortical-to-brainstem slow breathing circuit.
