Postdoc @ Rutishauser lab / interested in oscillations, single cells, working memory

Joined December 2018
I am very excited to share that our paper has now been published in @Nature. We describe a single-cell correlate of theta-gamma phase amplitude coupling and show how these cells are involved in the cognitive control of working memory storage processes. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

5/ Our findings suggest a single-neuron mechanism linking WM maintenance and LTM encoding. It sheds light on how working and long-term memory interact at a cellular level, revealing that WM maintenance serves as a gateway to memory formation in the hippocampus.

Germany tried this. It is a disaster. Pushes ppl out of research. The positions they are supposed to transition into don't exist. I can't keep my research team here because of arbitrary contract limits like this. Tragic and demoralizing for all of us. #WissZeitVG #IchbinHanna
Replying to @NIH
➡️Limiting the amount of time a postdoctoral scholar can be supported by NIH funds to five years to speed transition into research careers.

Check out our new preprint in which we show how single neuron activity of items stored in working memory in the hippocampus relates to the encoding of those items into long-term memory. The stronger the persistent activity during WM, the more successful the encoding into LTM.
