- Reposted by Jon RueckemannWe’re hiring! The Suthana Lab @ Duke is looking for a Research Assistant to join our team studying human memory & real-world 🧠 dynamics using wearable tech & intracranial recordings. Apply: careers.duke.edu/job/Durham-C... You can also email suthanalab@duke.edu with CV/questions. Please share!
- Reposted by Jon RueckemannCan humans & animals really use internal maps to take shortcuts? Tolman famously said yes - based largely on his Sunburst maze. Our new review & meta-analysis suggests evidence is far weaker than you might think. 🧵👇 doi.org/10.1111/ejn.... @uofgpsychneuro.bsky.social @ejneuroscience.bsky.social
- Our new preprint: The primate hippocampus parses experience into event-aligned neural states, creating a temporal scaffold for organizing behavior. At #SfN25 ? Come chat at my poster — Wednesday AM (PP14; 414.03).

- I’m also on the job market this year — happy to connect with anyone interested in hippocampal computation, comparative neurophysiology, or collaborative directions
- Reposted by Jon Rueckemann1/ 🚨 New preprint! 🚨 Excited and proud (& a little nervous 😅) to share our latest work on the importance of #theta-timescale spiking during #locomotion in #learning. If you care about how organisms learn, buckle up. 🧵👇 📄 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 💻 code + data 🔗 below 🤩 #neuroskyence

Yup, this happened to me: grant submitted in September, study section that should have discussed it in February was delayed until late March, then grant was withdrawn by NIH 3 days before the study section met because of lack of this document. I lost almost a year. Don't let this happen to you! - Reposted by Jon RueckemannIf you work with faculty whose ESI eligibility (NIH applications) ended/ends Oct 2024 to June 2025, they're getting an extension to Oct 2025. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide... h/t NORDP list
- Reposted by Jon RueckemannExciting news!! I’m joining the tenure-track faculty at University of Colorado Boulder this fall as an Assistant Professor of Psychology & Neuroscience! The Sosa Lab will study how memory is shaped by cognitive and physiological demands, including during pregnancy and the postpartum period. 🧵
- Reposted by Jon RueckemannIt’s an incredible feeling to see something you’ve poured your heart into come to life. This work was born from my curiosity about hippocampal “cognitive tuning.” Our interpretation of the environment depends on our actions, constantly evolving as we pursue our goals www.nature.com/articles/s41...

- Reposted by Jon Rueckemann"exhaust fumes" made it into the official abstract! hence completing the journey from an epiphenomenal shitpost blog to a full-blown review paper. all thanks to this cast of co-authors (esp. Sander), our TICS editor Lindsey Drayton, and two very engaged reviewers (@danielemarinazzo.bsky.social)
- Our review on the theoretical status of oscillations and field potentials is out! What are their effects, and what can electrophysiology signals reveal about how the brain works? w/ @dlevenstein.bsky.social @prokraustinator.bsky.social Bradley Voytek @rdgao.bsky.social www.cell.com/trends/cogni...
- Reposted by Jon RueckemannWhat do you get if you ask a recurrent network (like the PFC or Entorhinal cortex) to generalise a transition structure? Turns out different things depending on how intimate they are with an external memory (like Hippocampus). Elegant theory led by @jcrwhittington.bsky.social
