Michael Hasselmo

I’m pleased to announce publication of Part 2 of our Hippocampus special issue on Scientific Histories of Hippocampal Research with articles by John O’Keefe and many other influential researchers. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/toc/10.100…

Congratulations to @buCSNneuro faculty member Prof. Mark Howe and his student Eleanor Brown and other lab members for their paper in @Nature, along with Prof. Brian DePasquale. Read here: nature.com/articles/s4158…

Congrats to BU scholars @BrianDePasquale & @MikeEconomo — both awarded #SloanFellow in recognition of their exceptional creativity and innovation. Their research offers hope for people with paralysis and sheds new light on ALS. #Neuroscience @buCSNeuro

Join us today at 12:15 PM for Attend or Ignore? Dopamine May Guide You — a talk on how dopamine shapes attention, decision-making, and action. #Neuroscience #Dopamine #DecisionMaking @KilachandCenter

This evening at 7 pm (Feb. 5) Prof. Ann McKee will be giving the BU University Lecture on chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Come hear about her pioneering work on CTE at 685 commonwealth Ave. bu.edu/provost/awards…

Enjoyed the excellent ⁦@BU_NPC⁩ symposium last Friday, with speakers including ⁦@attila_losonczy⁩, ⁦@ChenLabNeuro⁩, ⁦@MarkHowe72⁩ and ⁦@denisejcai⁩, with ⁦@AnnaDevor⁩

Tomorrow 12pm (ET) at the MIT Consciousness Club. Consciousness Emerges From Neural Dynamics - Earl K. Miller (hey, that's me!). Join us via Zoom. sites.google.com/view/mit-consc… #neuroscience

Come see the Hasselmo lab posters this morning at SFN! (posters RR6 to RR8) with Jenn Robinson ⁦@_JennCRobinson⁩, Ray Fang and ⁦@patrick_lachanc⁩

At SFN, great to see the successes of my former lab members, @lisa_giocomo at Stanford, @andyalexander.bsky.social at UCSB and @jamesgheys1 at Univ Utah and many others!

Enjoying the start of the SFN meeting with ⁦@KnierimJames⁩ ⁦@patrick_lachanc⁩ ⁦@adredish⁩ ⁦@Neuro_Physics⁩ and Noah Cowan

We are accepting new applications (deadline Jan. 20, 2026) for the Center for Systems Neuroscience Distinguished fellows program at BU @buCSNneuro. Applications must be submitted by a BU faculty member planning to work with the fellow.bu.edu/csn/opportunit…

Great to hear that @buCSNneuro distinguished fellows are meeting around the world! CSN fellow alumnus Prof. Eric Lowet @EricLowet from Erasmus MC in Rotterdam just spoke at Fudan University in Shanghai, hosted by another previous fellow, Prof. Jianguang Ni @JianguangN.

Steve Ramirez @okaysteve sat down with @FrankieRivera25 to discuss the inspiration behind the book, why he decided to write it partly as a memoir, and what he wants readers to take away from reading it. thetransmitter.org/memory/how-to-…

A captivating talk today @KilachandCenter (@buCSNneuro & Dept of Psychological & Brain Sciences) for Arthur Lee, PhD on theory-guided brain decoding—using neural data to understand decision-making. Takeaway: prediction is not enough—models must explain the mind behind the brain.

Thanks to Prof. Shantanu Jadhav (@BrandeisNeuro) for an excellent CSN Seminar @buCSNneuro! He shared insights on how hippocampal–prefrontal networks connect memory & decision-making, with place cells, replay & oscillations at the core. #Neuroscience #BrainResearch

Enjoyed seeing everyone at the Spring Hippocampus meeting! Including ⁦@LomiEleonora⁩ @colinlever @neilburgess10 ⁦@Poacher1⁩

Nachum Ulanovsky just published a book @mitpress!I’ve enjoyed seeing Nachum’s talks about his innovative research at the recent Cosyne meeting and at last years iNav meeting! His book is called: Natural Neuroscience mitpress.mit.edu/9780262044998/…

Yesterday our own Prof. Kamal Sen gave a great talk on “Cortical Circuits Underlying Complex Scene Analysis.” The seminar was jointly organized by @buCSNneuro and @BU_NPC. Thanks to Prof. David Boas (@BoasDavid) for hosting!

Enjoyed the Cosyne workshop on 20 years of grid cells! Many thanks to Dori ⁦@derdikman⁩ with ⁦⁦@EdvardMoser⁩ ⁦@NeilBurgess10⁩ ⁦@eabuffalo⁩ ⁦@markbrandonlab⁩ ⁦@FieteGroup⁩ ⁦@yoramburak⁩

Excited to share our latest paper: “Phase Precession Relative to Turning Angle in Theta-Modulated Head Direction Cells” together with @LomiEleonora (co-first author), Kate Jeffery, @annamitch28 @NeilBurgess10 doi.org/10.1002/hipo.7…
