- Reposted by Rosanna OlsenHow do hippocampal pathways contribute to learning regularities and exceptions? To answer this, Melisa Gumus & @drmack.bsky.social use diffusion imaging to identify the endpoints of different hippocampal pathways, and then analyze functional activity within those "footprints". Super innovative!

- Super excited for this paper from postdoc @grahamflick.bsky.social who has used eye tracking and MEG to better understand how the timing of our eye movements can affect our visual perception and memory.

- Reposted by Rosanna Olsen🚨 New preprint alert! Excited to share our latest work on alpha/beta activity, eye movements, and memory. Across 4 experiments combining scalp EEG/iEEG with eye tracking, we show that alpha/beta activity directly reflects eye movements, and only indirectly relates to memory. 👇 Highlights (1/7):

- Reposted by Rosanna OlsenI think ultra-high field MRI will be shifting toward ~0.35 mm voxels, even in routine use. This isn't just sharper images. We now directly see cortical layers, veins... It’s a leap, not a tweak. A few already crossed this threshold, but now it's becoming practical. More: doi.org/10.1101/2025...
