New lab paper! 🧠

Human hippocampal & MTL theta activity is linked to eye movements, but only during memory-guided navigation. Theta is also strongest during longer, more exploratory eye movements.

Huge congrats to @humza_n_zubair & team! 👏

The biggest problem holding neuroscience back right now isn’t data or tools, thanks in large part to the BRAIN Initiative.

It’s fragmentation across species. I wrote👇 to hopefully spark discussion around an issue that can only be solved as a community

Excited to announce that I’ve been awarded an NRSA F30 grant from @NIMHgov ! To study neural mechanisms of avoidance/pursuit during human ambulatory navigation.

Special thanks to mentors @SuthanaLab @ausaf and all with the @uclacaltechmstp @dgsomucla for support and guidance!

Stress can either forge resilience or trigger depression. A captivating @Nature study reveals that a hippocampal-amygdala pathway encodes the resilience trait, and stimulating this circuit can even reverse stress-induced depression.

🚨 New lab paper!🚨

Dream study of mine for 20 yrs not possible until now thanks to NIH 🧠 funding & 1st-author lead @m_seeber

We tracked hippocampal activity as people walked memory-guided paths & imagined them again. Did brain patterns reappear?🧵👇

The LA fires hit the Caltech community pretty hard, including my brilliant MD/PhD student George Daghlian, whose family lost their home. 🥹 I'm glad to be able to help, and grateful to so many friends assisting however they can! 💪 https://t.co/CxPrQKarwU

New lab preprint!

"Human Neural Dynamics of Real-World & Imagined Navigation”

Theta oscillations in the human medial temporal lobe occur in short, critically timed bouts during walking. What about during imagined walking? Find out here:

So Cal friends: UCLA’s BRI is hosting a free, day-long learning and memory symposium on Monday 3/11. I’m excited to speak alongside a list of amazing scientists! 🤓🧠👩🏼‍🔬 Hope to see you there!

Come see what the @InmanLab has been up to at SfN Sunday and Monday! You'll hear about direct brain stimulation, memory, eye tracking, and hippocampal recordings in humans during real-world navigation!

[Humza Zubair, PhD @Humza_ZuBrain]

@reemka_97 @JAMAOphth Awesome, congrats!

[Matthias Stangl @MatStangl]

Thank you @BUCollegeofENG, I can't wait to join!
Also, I will be hiring at all levels: please get in touch if you are interested in human cognition, multimodal neuroimaging, and neurotechnology! Find out more about the lab's focus and methods here: https://t.co/5Hc3xPEDEK

Our team is working on a novel option for #PTSD patients who didn’t respond to current treatments. We describe our approach in this post in time for our recent paper and #PTSDAwarenessMonth.

@RVillareal12 Really appreciate it! Thanks for coming by.

[Humza Zubair, PhD @Humza_ZuBrain]

I’ll be presenting my work on eye movements and memory processing with the @SuthanaLab from 1-3PM @LEARNMEM. Stop by if you’re at the conference!

[Nanthia Suthana @SuthanaLab]

Suthana lab will be @LEARNMEM this week!

Check out our posters by @sabrinalevymaoz @MatStangl & @humza_n_zubair related to intracranial recordings in freely moving humans & a talk by @IM_Inman on real-world navigation. Looking forward to seeing everyone!
