Excited to share our new paper:
We uncover a locus coeruleus→amygdala circuit linking β-adrenergic signaling to transcription regulation in defined amygdala cells during memory reconsolidation—+ stress or elevated noradrenergic signaling at recall can strengthen memory.

Tan et al. identify a neuromodulatory circuit-to-molecular pathway in rats that updates
aversive memories when they are recalled. Noradrenaline from the locus coeruleus triggers
synapse-to-nuclear tra...
Anyone who has seen me talk lately knows that i have a fascination with Taylor Swift. I was introduced to her music by my daughter & her friends. So when @sfn.org asked me to write a review...

How does the brain build a memory?
A common assumption is that the neurons activated during an experience collectively form the memory engram.
In our new Nature Neuroscience paper (finally out!), we show that this is not the case.

Want a dataset to test ideas on neural basis of decision making or how areas interact as we make choices? Check out our data published today @rudebecklab.bsky.social. >16,000 single neurons from 22 anatomically confirmed areas in macaques performing a decision task. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Congratulations Ian and crew, fantastic paper!

I’m very sad to share that Howard Fields has died. He made seminal discoveries in pain modulation, placebo, and addiction. He was also a wonderful mentor and friend who taught me how to think about the brain and the joy of scientific discovery.

Astrocytes do so much more than any of us thought - they even communicate among specific brain regions across hemispheres!
The journey to this paper spanned nearly a decade, but I'm most excited to see what everyone else does with the tools we've built. There's so much for all of us to explore!

How are signals from the heart encoded in the brain?
What could be the functional implications of cardioception?
We found that neurons in the posterior insular cortex are precisely tuned to heartbeats, and that this cardio-insular coupling supports emotion coding in mice.

IASP is deeply saddened to hear of the recent death of Honorary IASP Member, Prof Howard Fields, and we offer our condolences to his family, friends and colleagues. We are […]
Pouget et al. identified distinct CA1 neuron ensembles active during specific moments of fear learning and uncovered the core engram essential for memory formation.
Extremely proud of the work of Patrick Hosford and Hao Mei that just came out in Neuron: www.cell.com/neuron/fullt...

How does the brain navigate uncertainty in a dynamic environment? In this study, Hosford,
Mei, et al. show that computations implemented across a network of thalamic and cortical
circuits continuously...
