Check out new work from our lab at @LEARNMEM on Saturday where @UTSWNeurosurg resident Cody Wolfe will be presenting a poster examining differential activity along the entorhinal axis (MEC vs LEC) using human iEEG data. Some high/low gamma data inspired by @ColginLab models.

2/ we extend classifier modeling to behavioral states more broadly, distinguishing encoding/retrieval and non mnemonic states. Thanks to @UTSWBrain and @UTSWNews for supplying the big time computing resources needed for this kind of thing.

[Texas Computational Memory Lab / Lega Lab @TexasMemory]

New paper about classifier based neuromodulation. We examine two kinds of episodic information (from recall and associative recognition) and incorporate new random forest models. Lots of hard work from Nicole Ng and David Wang in the lab. 1/ https://t.co/wwmX6IVIyY

Come work with us! Fun science and good barbecue. We are recruiting post docs and lab scientists to work on neurophysiology of human memory. DM if interested - or come talk at #CNS in San Fran.

@JamesMHyman Me too. Tan suede and leather interior. T tops. Those blinder shades on the hatchback. Classic. Could never get the antenna to work right though.

[Texas Computational Memory Lab / Lega Lab @TexasMemory]

@bradlega Also hear us talk about new encoding/retrieval phase locking in the episodic single unit minisymposium (009.07) and recent results identifying gamma scale assemblies in the hippocampal circuitry nano (019.09). Busy day

[bradlega @bradlega]

Starting soon at #SfN2022 at board QQ3 - a new look at the primacy effect and context from Nimay Kulkarni @TexasMemory lab. Anyone interested in a postdoc or postbac studying human memory neurophys should stop by.

[Texas Computational Memory Lab / Lega Lab @TexasMemory]

@SaberaTalukder @kaminski_janek Great meeting-like being at all star weekend but for science.

[Texas Computational Memory Lab / Lega Lab @TexasMemory]

Lab is out in force at SfN. Check out our stuff. Come for the science stay for the fun . https://t.co/51lnbS5duG

@bradlega @NatureComms @ChangLabUcsf Also tagging the UCSF mothership @NeurosurgUCSF

[Texas Computational Memory Lab / Lega Lab @TexasMemory]

@bradlega @NatureComms Forgot to tag Dr Umbach’s new home…@ChangLabUcsf

We joined the herd over at mastodon: @[email protected]

[Texas Computational Memory Lab / Lega Lab @TexasMemory]

Lab is hiring- several funded projects related to human electrophysiology, brain stimulation, and gene expression. Lab people will be out and about at SfN and happy to talk about jobs. Post doc, pre-doc, and staff scientist positions all available. DM if interested.

[bradlega @bradlega]

Memory folks - please check out our new paper in @NatureComms from @TexasMemory. We identify neuronal assemblies (ensembles) in human MTL microwire recordings https://t.co/98hP85aXSc. We apply methods developed by Prof Buzsaki to identify assemblies during episodic memory 1/5

[Tamara Gedankien @Gedankient]

I would like to thank everyone at @TexasMemory and @UTSWBrain who made this study possible. And, of course, @bradlega for spearheading this effort. Big thanks to my co-authors Ryan Tan and @QasimEtAl, and my awesome advisor @neurojosh.

[bradlega @bradlega]

Lab is hiring! Looking for a couple of post docs interested in neuromodulation, single unit analyses, and the cognitive neuroscience of memory in general. @TexasMemory at @UTSWBrain Stable funding, great institution, fun people, and good weather. DM me

[Sabina Srokova @sabina_srokova]

Very pleased to announce my new paper 'The Retrieval-related Anterior shift is Moderated by Age and Correlates with Memory Performance' with co-authors @paulfhill and Mick Rugg, now in the Journal of Neuroscience @sfnjournals

[Dr Nader Pouratian FCNS @drpouratian]

Join us tomorrow morning to hear Dr Batjer speak about the future of graduate medical education.

[bradlega @bradlega]

New results from Hye Yoo @TexasMemory we are excited to share in @NeuroImage_EiC:
We look at human MTL neurons that exhibit firing rate changes predicting encoding success. Some really cool properties...

Thank you to @lisakanarek for the opportunity to wax lyrical on associative encoding for this article in @WIRED: https://t.co/oXjZHE4qJV I tried to work in the Godden and Baddeley scuba diver experiment, but it didn't make the final cut.
