Michael Hasselmo

Enjoyed speaking @CornellNBB, hosted by my former postdocs Prof. Christiane Linster and Prof. Thom Cleland @nyalki and seeing my former grad student Prof. Eve DeRosa now Dean of Faculty at Cornell, as well as Azahara Oliva and Antonio Fernandez-Ruiz @antferrui

The brain has an underappreciated communication system made of astrocytes that spreads electrical influences independently of spikes and synapses. Astrocytes connect specific brain regions through plastic networks nature.com/articles/s4158… #neuroscience

Great seminar today @KilachandCenter by @JoshHMcDermott from (@MIT) exploring how machine learning models capture real-world auditory perception, from sound recognition and localization to attention. #Neuroscience #MachineLearning @buCSNneuro

@buCSNneuro @KilachandCenter @JoshHMcDermott @MIT Great talk by Josh McDermott! As an undergrad he took my Neural Modeling course at Harvard 30 years ago!

Thanks to @emilyps14 for hosting today’s NPC/CSN Seminar @KilachandCenter Dr. @StefanoFusi2 from @Columbia shared new findings on how the brain encodes space using disentangled neural geometries—near-orthogonal representations that support generalization in new environments

Big news for @buCSNneuro Congratulations to Professors @PlamenChIvanov & @ACroninGolomb on being named 2025 AAAS Fellows (@aaas) – one of the highest honors in science. Proud moment for the BU community! tinyurl.com/yc4bsmsj #Neuroscience #Physics #Neuropsychology

Kate Nussenbaum (@katenuss) has been recognized by the Association for Psychological Science (@PsychScience) as an APS Rising Star—highlighting early-career researchers shaping the future of psychology. Excited to see where her work goes next! tinyurl.com/ye3fndh8

How does the brain stay flexible under changing demands? Join David Badre @BadreLab (@BrownUniversity) as he explores the neural architecture behind cognitive control—through fMRI & EEG insights. March 25 | 12:15 PM | RKC ( 101) #Neuroscience #CognitiveScience @buCSNneuro

The latest issue of the Neural Circuit Bulletin from @buCSNneuro is out! 🧠 This edition highlights new research discoveries, upcoming events, and the collaborations shaping our neuroscience community: lnkd.in/exNGfTR6 #Neuroscience #ScientificDiscovery #AcademicResearch

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…
