Very excited to see this work from Eyiyemis Damisah's group at Yale out in @natneuro.nature.com
www.nature.com/articles/s41...
They combined our gamified aversive learning task (www.nature.com/articles/s41...) with single unit recordings to show that claustrum neurons encode uncertainty
We can't wait to hear from Dr. Ryan Raut this week in our monthly online seminar series on traveling waves! Join us this Wednesday, October 7th at 12pm ET
The development of slow and fast theta oscillations in the human brain https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.09.27.754757v1

Growing evidence suggests traveling waves in the brain are central to how we process information. Thanks Quanta for shining a light on this emerging field. Honored to be featured alongside my wonderful collaborators @neurojosh.bsky.social, @neuroanup.bsky.social, @ermentrout.bsky.social, and more.
Excited to share a new discovery from @stanfordpntlab.bsky.social about the effects of neurostimulation on brain activity. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6...
With our colleagues at the University of Iowa, we explored how intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) changes neural excitability. A ๐งต

Another preprint! This one from my postdoc with @ignaciosaezphd.bsky.social and @xiaosigu.bsky.social.
Here we asked how the reward outcomes driving trial-by-error learning leave a lasting imprint on memory strength in the human brain.
We used iEEG/computational models of cognition to find:
Another postdoc piece out today in @natneuro.nature.com! ๐ง ๐ค
In unimpaired older adults, frontal tau pathology tracked with lonely NREM slow waves that fail to travel โ and these waves predicted worse overnight memory.

First preprint from the lab from postdoc Carlo Cerquetella! Demonstrating that neuronal spiking in the human medial temporal lobe and prefrontal cortex cohere into a redundant, low-dimensional neural correlate of visual attention (captured mostly by saccades) during naturalistic movie viewing.
Fall wave club resumes tomorrow!
