The Liu lab is hiring a postdoc! Interested in naturalistic learning, theta oscillations, and working with sEEG and RNS patients/data? Check out our website, DM me, or find us this week at the AES meeting for more info! 🧠

🚨New preprint alert🚨 We used closed-loop optogenetics to causally test the importance of inhibitory spike timing in network function and found that manipulating PV+ cell theta phase locking in the dentate gyrus can shift seizure susceptibility (both ways!)

A great post summarizing the current situation with NIH. If NSF follows suit, the impacts on US research & universities will be debilitating. Please call your reps—you can use Liz’s great script! (if you have anxiety like me, the weekend is a good time because you can leave a voicemail lol)

New paper out in Cell Reports! Led by @susieyufeng.bsky.social, we found that chronic epilepsy in mice drives distinct synchronization deficits in hippocampus and MEC, with early changes in HPC and late-onset changes in MEC that align with progressive memory impairment. www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Screenshot of article entitled "Distinct changes to hippocampal and medial entorhinal circuits emerge across the progression of cognitive deficits in epilepsy" by Yu Feng, Keziah S. Diego, Zhe Dong, ..., Nadia N. Khan, Denise J. Cai, and Tristan Shuman.

In brief: Feng et al. demonstrate that memory deficits in temporal lobe epilepsy involve multiple discrete mechanisms with distinct time courses. In epileptic mice, early-onset memory deficits are associated with disrupted hippocampal synchronization, while more severe, lateonset impairments are associated with disrupted synchrony of medial entorhinal cortex circuits.

Interested in how neural communication breaks down in a model of Alzheimer's pathology? In a new preprint, we found desynchronization in medial entorhinal–hippocampal circuits that coincided with the onset of spatial memory deficits in 3xTg mice. (1/6) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Did 2024 feel LONG to anyone else? A little 2024 recap from me: I defended my PhD and submitted a first author paper describing my thesis work! Look out for a preprint very soon. (1/6)

Lauren stands in front of a screen showing the first slide of her thesis defense, titled "Entorhinal-hippocampal desynchronization in a mouse model of Alzheimer's Disease Pathology."

Lauren's PI Tristan Shuman places a celebratory flower crown on her head while she makes a comically huge grin.

🌟 Cai Lab Nature (@natureportfolio.bsky.social) paper alert! In work led by Joe Zaki, we find that rest periods after learning not only stabilize new memories BUT ALSO integrate new memories with older ones from days past! (1/10) Read it here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
