Electrophysiological dissociation of human posterior cingulate cortex contributions to value- and memory-based decision-making https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.08.12.744505v1

My lab at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is recruiting a full-time research coordinator! We study how human memory supports optimal decision making in both familiar contexts and new situations, using behavioral and neuroimaging data with model simulations. hamllab.org/positions/re... 🧠📈

Go work with an excellent scientist and all around star of a human being!

New preprint! We show low arousal states promote hippocampal ripple genesis in sleep and wake. This bridges rodent work, where ripples predominate during sleep, with human studies reporting ripples during active behavior, identifying low arousal as a common mechanism www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

We're recruiting postdocs to study how people build structured knowledge from experience & use it to act flexibly. Behavioral work, fMRI, computational & AI models, with a lifespan focus. You don't need experience with every method; fit & curiosity matter most. Please repost & share! 🧠

We’re hiring a full-time Research Coordinator in the Preston Lab at UT Austin (start May/June 2026). Work on behavioral + fMRI studies of how memory & decision-making develop from childhood to adulthood. Learn more & apply: preston.clm.utexas.edu/news/join-th... Please repost!

Exciting new preprint from the Rust lab led by Catrina. Important and practical progress in understanding the translational utility of "high-gamma" LFP activity.

Fantastic opportunity to work with an exceptional scientist and mentor!

🌟 Excited to share that I'm recruiting PhD students in Psychology for my new lab at Rice University this cycle (Signal boost appreciated!) To learn more, check out the Learning & Behavior Change Lab website: www.sinclairlab-rice.com Applications are due Dec 1st: psychology.rice.edu/graduate/pro...

The @cahbir.bsky.social and @rutgersbhi.bsky.social are hiring! Multiple open area and open rank faculty jobs, wonderful colleagues, amazing resources, and one of the largest communities of brain science research groups on the planet. Please apply and share widely. jobs.rutgers.edu/postings/209...

The University of Nevada, Las Vegas @unlv.edu is building a MRI center 🧠, and we are hiring! Join us and work with an amazing team of researchers and clinicians! nshe.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/UNLV-E...

My lab is hiring! We have an opening for a full-time RA to focus on computational modeling and fMRI analysis. Programming skills are required. Psych/cog/neuro experience not necessary but a big plus. A great fit for someone who wants lab experience before grad school. Details and job link below ⬇️

📣 Across the U.S., cuts to federal funding for health research are projected to cause losses of $16B and 68,500 jobs. How will YOUR area be impacted? Excited to share SCIMaP, a website that our team has created to communicate the impact of funding cuts. #PsychSciSky #MedicalSky scienceimpacts.org

“This is just a taste of what could be coming down the pipe for Penn,” one senior Trump administration official told Fox News.

If you identify as a Jewish member of the academic community, and are appalled by the actions being taken in the name of defending our community, please consider signing this letter (which can be done anonymously) and also sharing it with others: forms.gle/prnRbq69a6YN...

If, like me, you (a) oppose research funding cuts to US institutions and (b) are Jewish, please consider signing this open letter: forms.gle/prnRbq69a6YN...

We had a great crew this morning working on signs before they headed out to @standupforscience.bsky.social in Philly! STEM-related activities account for 40% of the US GDP and are a main economic driver for Philadelphia. Science makes America great.

Hey Philadelphia see you TOMORROW 11AM CITY HALL!!!! (And if you're a Penn person, @pennmindcore.bsky.social is hosting poster-making and donut-eating beforehand!!)

For the Indy Star in Indiana 🏎️, VJ Rubenstein wrote about losing a generation to the cuts to science funding: “I know of multiple promising students who have questioned their decisions to pursue scientific careers. We are on the verge of losing a cohort of transformative young scientists.” 🧪🏠

🚨 🧠 We have a new preprint out where we studied which brain networks are engaged during mental imagery and self-generated thought. We used a precision fMRI approach along with multidimensional experience sampling (mDES) to get trialwise self-reports from each participant about what they imagined.

Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings. But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%. I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

As if there wasn’t enough to worry about… It turns out the Salience (SAL) and Parietal Memory Networks (PMN) are the same thing! 😩😩😩 🧵

If you're at SfN and interested in memory reactivation during sleep, come check out my talk on Sunday morning! (8:45am, WCC 150) Part of an awesome nanosymposium on learning and memory led by @emilycowan.bsky.social #SfN23 #neuroskyence
