From cracking nuts to holding a smartphone while scrolling, manual actions shape attention, memory, and decision-making. @yoojchoo et al.’s new study provides elegant multimodal evidence for how action interacts with cognition. now @CognitionJourn
Cognition@CognitionJourn

From cracking nuts to holding a smartphone, simple actions like handgrip are evolutionarily conserved but not cognitively neutral. Physical exertion weakens inhibitory control, allowing irrelevant information to intrude into working memory, a key mental cost of physical effort.

When brain lesions blur memories, they sharpen our theories. @yoojchoo et al. show that hippocampal damage supports mixture models of visual working memory, highlighting the limits of simple one-parameter accounts in real neurological data. @Brain1878 doi.org/10.1093/brain/…

Please join me in congratulating @PSYCTerps Assistant Professor Weizhen “Zane” Xie on being named a 2025 Young Investigator of the @BBRFoundation! Excited to see the results of Zane's BBRF-funded work on a potentially non-invasive way to reduce anxiety ... go.umd.edu/xieBBRF25

Great timing as @Xinchi_Yu wraps up his PhD and prepares for the next chapter in Europe 🇪🇺🇫🇷. Sending him off the Maryland way—with crabcake and a dash of Old Bay 🦀🎓.

When faced with a cluttered desk—a stapler, banana, receipt, toy dinosaur—we often group things by meaning to make sense of the mess. @Xinchi_Yu's study shows this spontaneous semantic grouping boosts the efficiency of visual working memory. doi.org/10.1037/xhp000… @APA_Journals

What happens to visual memory when part of a visually selective brain region is removed? Patient VH, who lost part of his parahippocampal place area and struggled to consolidate scene memories overnight, offers some insights. Read more in Learning & Memory:shorturl.at/JYMu7

Kicking off the week with more great @bsosumd news: @PSYCTerps' Weizhen "Zane" Xie was named a 2025 Searle Scholar, awarding him $300K to build on his existing research on human memory & cognition with a new project concerning semantics. Congrats, Zane! go.umd.edu/xiesearle25

Yay! See you at this year's @VSSMtg! Excited to bring together my undergrad advisors (Yan Bao, Ernst Pöppel) and Zane @IconLaboratory in one project. With a fun set of abstract paintings by contemporary artist LaoZhu, we found that lower activation in DNNs predict higher beauty.

New evidence into how the medial temporal lobe contributes to visual short-term memory precision. Our latest study shows tDCS over bilateral temporal lobes modulates hippocampal-occipital connectivity, affecting visual memory quality. #hippocampus doi.org/10.1002/hipo.2…

We love simpler models, but when they fail to capture individual differences, we have to ask: does simplicity = adequacy? For memory representation, a mixture model often does better at accounting for individual differences. 🧠🔍 link.springer.com/article/10.375…

Excited to share an awesome study by former postbac @audreyphan_, now @HarvardMITmdphd, with her first first-authored paper! Audrey skillfully blends various analytical approaches to reveal the role of brain connectivity dynamics in human cognition. #NeuralCoding #HumanCognition
Audrey Phan@audreyphan_

incredibly excited to share my first, first-author paper in @NatureComms! how do dynamic changes in functional connectivity give rise to memory formation in humans? 🧠✨ nature.com/articles/s4146…

The human brain leverages multiple codes to efficiently represent information, such as by organizing the relative timing of neuronal firing within a population of neurons. Learn more about this in our upcoming research article in @Nature!
NINDS@NIH_NINDS

Our brain uses unique sequences of neurons firing over time within a population activity burst to correctly categorize visual cues. Learn more about it from a paper out today in Nature: nature.com/articles/s4158… #NeuralCoding #HumanCognition

Congrats to Max Lichtenfeld, a postbac from NIH/NINDS, for an outstanding #sfn2024 talk on how prior associative semantic knowledge contributes to visual change detection in the medial temporal lobe — a key issue to address for understanding human natural visual cognition.

One of the perks of Sanikaa’s first presentation at #SfN as a Trainee Professional Development Awardee — she also got to try hot pot for the first time!
