How do we prevent memories from competing to guide attention? More distinct hippocampal representations for competing memories are linked to precise preparatory coding in visual cortex & more accurate eye movements to target locations. Thrilled to share this work by the incomparable Serra Favila!

It has become difficult to reach a #science audience on #social_media. For example, the combined reach of a recent post about a new paper shared here, on LinkedIn, and on Mastodon was nowhere near what it used to be on Twitter alone. Is there a good solution, or should I start making TikTok videos?
