(1/8) Delighted to announce our new results on medial frontal cortex’s role in performance monitoring and cognitive control! Neurons formed domain-general representations of errors, conflict, and conflict probability, while preserving task-specific info. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Delighted our latest finding! We discovered that abstract representations emerge in the human hippocampus when learning to perform inference. This change in neural geometry is due to disentanglement of discovered latent and observable variables. @Nature nature.com/articles/s4158…

How are memories retrieved when needed? We show memory-choice & taskset cells in human MFC, rapid reconfiguration of MTL->MFC interactions, and neural geometry changes when switching between memory vs. categorization decisions. @JMinxha @StefanoFusi2 science.sciencemag.org/content/368/64…

Thrilled to announce our latest progress in understanding human episodic memory - cognitive boundaries mark when episodes start and end, thereby providing anchors for what is encoded and for reinstatement during retrieval.

Happy to share our Preview of the first use of Neuropixel electrodes in humans by Chung et al. @ChangLabUcsf in @NeuroCellPress and simultaneously conducted Paulk et al. @ACPaulk study. Note the Fig on scale vs. extracellular field. w/ S. Meisenhelter.

Delighted to announce our latest paper. We discovered single-cell correlate of theta-gamma PAC. Hippocampal PAC cells participate in control of WM through information-enhancing noise correlations and long-range frontal interactions. @Nature @CedarsSinai nature.com/articles/s4158…

New review! Multi-species synthesis of single-neuron, LFP, EEG & behavior from human & macaques. We propose a model for how brains achieve the remarkable feat of monitoring our own performance. @brooksfu_neuro @LabSchall @stevenerrington @AmirsamanSajad

Delighted to announce our latest work in @NatureHumBehav. While watching movies, theta phase precession is triggered by cognitive boundaries. Strength of precession predicts strength of memory formed. @Zjmay1 @gkreiman @CedarsSinai @CaltechN

Very happy to see our paper on phase-coding of WM content by individual neurons in human MTL by @kaminski_janek @aneta_brzezicka featured on the cover in todays issue of @Neuron. [Color scheme is somehow different on twitter then original]

New issue is out 👉cell.com/neuron/current On the cover, that's the beat of a human temporal lobe neuron overlaid on theta oscillations - that phase-rate combination is crucial for holding information in memory. Paper by @UeliRutishauser & coll 👉bit.ly/3eHF6kS
