New manuscript published! ✍️👀 Concept neurons evolve from index neurons through overlapping memories. Check it out here: cell.com/trends/cogniti… 1/15

@scottlangeneck1 @PLOSBiology @SimonHanslmayr 3/3 Furthermore, Vertex has been shown to be a valid control site (Jung, Bungert, Bowtell, & Jackson, 2016, Brain stimulation, doi.org/10.1016/j.brs.…))

@scottlangeneck1 @PLOSBiology @SimonHanslmayr 2/3 However, based on the wider literature Vertex stimulation is unlikely to be the main driver since the DLPFCs involvement in memory is well established.

Improving memory. Encoding of episodic memories involves the left prefrontal cortex; @MirVDP @SimonHanslmayr &co find that applying 1-Hz #rTMS to this area improves memory performance by modulating neural activity in parietal regions #PLOSBiology plos.io/3ogGBO5

Couldn’t be happier that this is out today in @NatureComms (nature.com/articles/s4146…). With @ptoncompmemlab and @HassonLab we track naturalistic learning in ECoG. I also wrote a short blogpost about the paper (go.nature.com/3xXMMYz)
