What makes a scent unlock a memory? 👃🧠
This #iScience study shows how #OlfactoryMemory emerges from emotion, familiarity, and #SemanticRichness, teasing apart recognition vs association 🌸✨

Schematic representation of key findings. Across high-frequency broadband (HFB) -locked and image-locked analyses, interregional connections were sparse and transient, demonstrating a cascade of dynamic network states during the successful encoding and retrieval of visual scenes. Of note, during encoding, connections between the PFC and MTL were locked to the timing of HFB peaks in prefrontal regions. During encoding and retrieval, the ACC exhibited connections in HFB-locked analyses only, suggesting that the ACC plays a purely internally-driven role in mnemonic processing.
#EpisodicMemory involves coordinating local processing & global organization. This study shows that it relies on brief, sparsely connected #brain states across MTL & PFC regions, with dynamic shifts in network directionality between encoding & retrieval @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4oYoxEU

Latent Learning and Episodic Memory Boost AI Generalization
Research shows latent learning — acquiring info not tied to the current task — limits AI flexibility, while episodic memory lets models retrieve past examples, easing the reversal curse. getnews.me/latent-learning-and-epis... #latentlearning #episodicmemory
Memory is not just in the head. It’s scaffolded by spatial structure.
This opens new doors in neuroarchitecture, design psychology, and the science of memory.

Graffiti on Unistr. Bochum. Depicting the bust of a girl. One half of her is drawn in black and white with flowing hair, a flower in her mouth, closed eyes. She is well dressed and groomed. The other half is in colour. The girls face is dirty her clothes are old and torn and her hair is messy. Photo credit: Sen Cheng

Meet our #NeuroSpeaker Luz Bavassi, PhD!
Dr. Bavassi is a postdoctoral researcher who investigated memory reconsolidation in humans using fMRI

We started this project in 2018. It is by far the biggest and longest project from my postdoc at @ptoncompmemlab.bsky.social with HassonLab and iEEG support by Adeen Flinker and NYU Langone. #episodicmemory #cognitiveneuroscience #iEEG #ECoG

Headshot of Johannes Mahr. Prof. of philosophy at York University, Canada.
Our PhD symposium at #GEM2025 gives ECR's a chance to network with their peers before the conference begins and everyone gets overwhelmed.
This year Johannes Mahr @jomahr.bsky.social, our keynote speaker, will also be on the panel at the symposium.

We are delighted to announce that registration for GEM 2025 is now open!
Head over to for2812.rub.de/gem2025 to check out the program. Limited spots available at our early career researcher events, so sign up early.

Ali Boyle @aliboyle.bsky.social will be a key note speaker at GEM 2025. We were so disappointed to miss her keynote in 2023 that we invited her back. Looking forward to it.

Recuerdos falsos y memoria colectiva.
Como tus recuerdos autobiográficos afectan tu identidad y la de los que te rodean.

Why am I so forgetful? A failing memory can be frustrating, but it may be a sign your brain is working exactly as it should.

I show my patient with #svPPA a pic of a pencil sharpener.
He says: "I remember seeing one of those in my desk's drawer. It's blue & tiny (makes a gesture with his thumb & index finger). What is it for?".
The marvels of #episodicmemory in the context of semantic breakdown.
