Just published! "The emotion paradox in the aging brain and body." It is my attempt to make sense of how the autonomic system can shift so dramatically in aging without negatively influencing mood and well-being. nyaspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
<em>Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences</em> is a multidisciplinary journal publishing research across many different areas of science to stimulate new thinking.
Very happy to see that our new 7T MRI paper examining gradients of scene and face selectivity within hippocampal subfields is now online in Neuropsychologia: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...@drberry.bsky.social and Lucie Read.
Prior univariate functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies in humans suggest that the anteromedial subicular complex of the hippocampus is …
A reason for the peer review crisis. Articles published grew by 50% since 2016, "which has outpaced the limited growth, if any, in the number of practising scientists. Thus, publication workload per scientist (writing, reviewing, editing) has increased dramatically." arxiv.org/abs/2309.15884
Scientists are increasingly overwhelmed by the volume of articles being published. Total articles indexed in Scopus and Web of Science have grown exponentially in recent years; in 2022 the article...
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with profound memory deficits. But early cognitive declines that can precede AD may be associated with deficits in *visual perception* – highlighting the importance of not treating the medial temporal lobe as solely a memory system. #neuroskyence#PsychSciSky
I wrote a j-club commentary on a recent article published in #Jneurosci@neurosteel.bsky.socialwww.jneurosci.org/content/44/1...
Memory retrieval is believed to be accompanied by a reactivation (reinstatement) of the neuronal populations that were active when the event was initially experienced (for review, see [Rugg et al., 20...
New paper out in Nature Neuro, wherein we ask: How do perceptual and mnemonic brain networks share information? www.nature.com/articles/s41...@carolinerobertson.bsky.social
The authors show that functionally paired visual and memory brain areas share a common neural code, which structures their communication. This code is visual in nature and uses a push–pull dynamic t...
In long-term memory, the hippocampus is important for recollection; but in working memory it tracks global familiarity. We provide new data in support of this conclusion & describe how computational models of the hippocampus naturally account for these distinct signals. #PsychSciSky#neuroskyence
The hippocampus plays an essential role in long-term episodic memory by supporting the recollection of contextual details, whereas surrounding regions…
Very pleased to announce our recent paper on aging and spatial memory in PNAS with research scientist Dr. Li Zheng! We find both age-related and performance-related heterogeneity that contribute to older adults having, on average, worse spatial memory. Check it out! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
