It finally came in the mail! It was a pleasure to be part of this unique and stimulating experience with @noranewcombe.bsky.social and Ken Cheng (and many colleagues!)

New paper! We examined how affective experience+drive to explore spaces can shape memory, emphasizing that "complexity" is a moderator and only part of the story for configural learning

New paper out in JEP:General, led by uber-productive grad student Ricardo Morales Torres (@rmt93.bsky.social): We use behavior and RNNs to show that object semantics protect visual WM against visual interference but increase susceptibility to semantic interference.

Curiosity is a key driver of exploration and learning. Prior empirical studies have largely focused on internal mechanisms of curiosity and not its in…
Spatial cognition has been the theme at CRaNE 2026 @crane-navsci.bsky.social today. Loved @russellepstein.bsky.social's keynote on how the brain builds cognitive maps.
Looking forward to my panel tomorrow with Danny Dilks & @noranewcombe.bsky.social on how spatial cognition develops!

A half-century old question may have its final answer. Using high-resolution #Mini2P microscopes, we find no evidence of local topography in #PlaceCells. Place fields of neighbouring cells are no more similar than those of randomly selected cells. 🧠🗺️ Out now in @pnas.org www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Topography is a well-described and well-known concept for cortical organization in
primary sensory and motor cortices of mammalian brains. Similar ...
Background: Spatial navigation relies on egocentric and allocentric frames of reference, with the latter critically impaired in Alzheimer disease (AD) due to hippocampal involvement. Recent evidence s...
