Visit from Sachin Deshmukh
The lab was happy to welcome our friend, Sachin Deshmukh, for a visit after the SfN meeting in October. Sachin presented a talk entitled, “Objects, space, and memory: how the hippocampal cognitive map comes together”. The website for Sachin’s lab can be found here: http://www.cns.iisc.ernet.in/sachin/
NSF CAREER Award
The lab received an NSF CAREER award to study whether slow and fast gamma rhythms affect memory processing during sleep:
Congratulations to Dr. Kevin Bieri!
Kevin successfully defended his PhD dissertation, “Slow and fast gamma rhythms represent distinct memory processing states in the hippocampus”.
Chenguang’s paper accepted to Hippocampus
Chenguang’s paper about how slow and fast gamma frequencies change with running speed has been accepted to Hippocampus.
We are very excited about the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine!
Congratulations to May-Britt Moser, Edvard Moser, and John O’Keefe! Hooray for them and hooray for place cells and grid cells!
Received an R01 Grant From NIMH
The lab received an R01 grant from NIMH to study the roles of slow and fast gamma oscillations in memory processing.
