Donald Hebb’s theory—memorably summarized as “cells that fire together, wire together”— does not explain the shifting hippocampal connections that occur in mice as they learn to navigate an unfamiliar virtual environment.

@JasonSynaptic Thanks Jason! And thanks for making comments on it, appreciate it!

Sharing a new paper from the lab. This paper, led by Sangyoon Ko, represents a merging of two longstanding research themes in the lab-- adult neurogenesis and systems consolidation.

@Franklandlab Fantastic work! Bringing a cellular understanding to big/important concepts. Expertly described, too.

@DrACSinger @NIH @Nature Very cool! Nice to see it highlighted to the public. We need more of this. Congrats on the great paper!

Stem cell therapy for Parkinson’s disease has entered a new era. Two @Nature studies demonstrate that pluripotent stem cell–derived dopamine neurons can survive, restore function, and potentially change the treatment paradigm for this neurodegenerative disease.

#NeuroNews Our undergraduate students Stacia Konow and John Ponce assist Dr. @Sheffield_Lab in his lab and they talked about the work they have been doing as well as how their experience inside the lab has influenced their undergrad journey at UChicago.

A short clip about the Sheffield lab:

[The University of Chicago @UChicago]

Assoc. Prof. Mark Sheffield and his lab at UChicago are studying how the brain forms, stores, and retrieves memories using advanced imaging and VR. Their research could lead to better treatments for Alzheimer's, PTSD, and more.
