Did you know that your speed — in a simple task of quickly pressing a button every time you see a yellow square — is faster when you are exhaling or pausing then when you are inhaling? Dr. Erika Yamazaki figured this out, did all the work, and published on it this week www.cell.com/iscience/ful...

I'm sorry Ken, but I strongly disagree: Coffee is truly enough. : )

New paper: TMS and episodic memory go well together! elifesciences.org/articles/108...

A meta-analysis suggests that TMS targeting the hippocampal network selectively improves episodic memory
Meta-analysis indicates that network-targeted non-invasive brain stimulation consistently enhances memory function supported by the hippocampal network, thus providing robust evidence that specific me...

Searching for a postdoc to work on 2 newly NIH-funded projects using intracranial EEG with TMS and direct electrical stimulation to investigate hippocampal networks supporting episodic memory. Research Scientist could also work for post-post-doc candidates. Plz spread! cnoir.bsd.uchicago.edu/join/

Great question. We have done TMS at (occipito-)parietal. But it is very hard to do LTL TMS (it hurts and an ear is in the way). And, we don't often have iEEG at the correct parietal site. My guess is they would be similar, but w/maybe slightly diff effects due to projections to ant vs. post HP.

Guess I'll have social media again. Maybe this time it won't devolve into a dumpster fire that catalyzes society crumbling around us.
