I presented my recent findings on compensation in older adults. I met people who study older adults and shared thoughts on how their brains works. I received the KSBNS outstanding postet award!🏆 I made a great memory in my hippocampus through KSBNS 2026 🧠 @KsbnsNeuro

I shared my research on cognitive deterioration and compensation in aging at KSBNS 2025 @KsbnsNeuro!
On top of that, I received the Poster Presentation Award! 🏆
It was truly one of the most memorable days of my research journey! 😎

I presented my poster on neural markers of episodic memory components in aging at 2025 CNS @CNSmtg. It was a great opportunity to connect with aging researchers! I'm looking forward to seeing them in future😊

I am pleased to announce the publication of our special issue on scientific histories of hippocampal research in the journal Hippocampus! This special issue contains articles by many influential contributors to our field. https://t.co/6LoCtvc5xy

We're excited to finally share our review of fMRI hyperactivity in the Alzheimer’s disease pathological cascade, the result of a fun collaboration with @CorriveauNick, @fislarissa, Eoin Molloy, & @anne_maass

Now out in @braincomms - summary thread below!

@SeungWooJin2 @KsbnsNeuro That's the reason why am I participated NeuroNight Talent Show! 😎

[Maria Jieun Hwang @mariajhwangs]

Presented my poster at KSBNS 2024 @KsbnsNeuro! It was great to share my thoughts on cognitive declines as a cognitive aging researcher 🧠

[Maria Jieun Hwang @mariajhwangs]

I'm excited to share that my first-authored paper has been published in Hippocampus! Plus, it was selected for the cover image of this issue! 😆
This paper demonstrates that scene construction occurs automatically during the retrieval of temporal episodic memory.

Here is a recent study by my student Maria Hwang showing that scene construction in response to partial scenes may automatically occur in the anterior CA1 and subiculum during temporal episodic memory retrieval! https://t.co/stLWwXyCpz @mariajhwangs

[Maria Jieun Hwang @mariajhwangs]

First presentation in Neurosplash about the aging effects of temporal episode memory in the hippocampus! It was a great opportunity to share my results and thoughts with cognitive neuroscientists. 🧠 🔥

I'm thrilled to share that my postdoc work in @inah_lee's lab has been published in @ScienceAdvances. In this paper, we uncovered the unique role of the intermediate hippocampus in remembering the value of a place. Read more: https://t.co/8WqYCsBSlk

Thomas Wolbers (@WolbersLab) in SNU! As an aging researcher, I looked forward to meeting him in person. Today is a memorable day! Thank you so much @sang_ah_lee 😊
