Neuroscientist interested in memory and sleep development.

Hippocampus generates an internal model of Euclidean space. We ventured in a spatial odyssey exploring how much of the internal model is a priori, innate (Nature) and what is contributed by postnatal experience of Euclidean geometry (Nurture)

Our paper about the development of sleep oscillations coupling is finally out 😊🎉 @_juliafechner_ @ResearchSleep you can check it out here 👉https://t.co/CerMtXCAS0

[Julia Fechner @_juliafechner_]

@ContrerasMP_ , my colleagues and I show how coupling dynamics develop during maturation! Read the full story @ResearchSleep : https://t.co/4A9kczEYRg

#JNeurosci: @ContrerasMP_ @_juliafechner_ et al @uni_tue found exposure of rat pups to 3 short-lasting spatial experiences enhances the capability to remember spatial locations & strengthened the machinery mediating formation of such memories during #sleep

🔮Ever wished you could just say what behavioral analysis you wanted? ... "Plot the animal's trajectory" "Count the head hips in the open arm"

👀🪄we present AmadeusGPT🎻 to do this ...

Great collaboration spearheaded by JohannesOppermann - and nicely complemented by @aleph_reish and @FabrinThomaz - brings an extremely light-sensitive (nW!) and red-shifted ACR to the optogenetic community - no inactivation - just robust!

[AntonioFR @antferrui]

Check out our latest paper which just came out today! We described a novel hippocampo-cortical circuit organization that could support the selective routing and replay of complementary task representations.

My paper is finally out! I'm so excited! with @_juliafechner_
Have a look at how discrete experiences during development shape cortical-hippocampal communication during sleep @SfNJournals

I am happy to be part of this project! Have a look if you want to learn more about how experiences and subsequent #sleep promote the maturation of #memory systems during development! 🧠💤

Ever wondered how oscillation coupling during sleep relates to functional resting-state connectivity and memory performance? – Here is what we did … 🧵1/8

[Alex Easton @eastondurhampsy]

Paper in press with some great colleagues. SOR tasks are impacted by stress - but in what way? Stress before sample phase has no impact on memory, but after sample impairs memory. Stress before retrieval swaps object preference, but doesn't impact memory. https://t.co/5pFq1lbZJL
