The study is published in the current issue of Hippocampus:

The lab published a new study in Journal of Neurophysiology showing that slow gamma rhythms in CA3 are entrained by slow gamma activity in the dentate gyrus:

The lab published a new study in eNeuro showing that fast gamma activity is enhanced as animals learn new associations between objects and places:

The lab had fun educating the public about brain rhythms at this year’s Memory Matters event.  We measured participants’ EEGs as they practiced enhancing their alpha rhythms!

Chenguang’s and Kevin’s paper on spatial sequence coding during slow and fast gamma rhythms is featured on the cover of the latest issue of Neuron:

Scientific American also covered the findings:

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/

The lab received an NSF CAREER award to study whether slow and fast gamma rhythms affect memory processing during sleep:
