My main postdoc work, 4.5 years in the making, is now out as a preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. We (myself, Isabel Low, @cho_fs, and @lisa_giocomo) discovered task-relevant remote representations in entorhinal cortex independent of CA1. #tweeprint below! 1/13
In our first “Postdoc perspectives” essay, Christian Cazares and Maribel Patiño explain how grassroots organizations led by trainees are stepping up to provide career and mentorship guidance for neuroscience students from marginalized backgrounds. thetransmitter.org/community/as-f…
Excited to share our latest story! We found disentangled memory representations in the hippocampus that generalized across time and environments, despite the seemingly random drift and remapping of single cells. This code enabled the transfer of prior knowledge to solve new tasks
New paper officially out! Congratulations to Mari Sosa - amazing work - and just before she sets off to UC Boulder to start her own lab!
How does the brain map where rewards are found? Stanford researchers @lisa_giocomo & Mari Sosa found that mice form adaptable hippocampal maps that track reward locations—offering insight into how memory, dementia & addiction relate to place and reward. neuroscience.stanford.edu/news/locations…

One week left!
I'm hiring a lab tech! If you know any talented college seniors or recent grads who'd enjoy doing cool neuroscience in Baltimore, please encourage them to consider applying: umb.taleo.net/careersection/…
Were you postdoc on the faculty job market May 2024 - May 2025? Are you a new assistant professor who landed your position (any field!) in the past year? We want to hear from you about your experience on the faculty job market.
Aery Jones lab now has a website and logo! Come check us out here: aeryjoneslab.github.io. Logo drawn by the super talented Sky Shi in the Giocomo lab.

Please spread the word! This is a great effort to improve communication of science benefits and discoveries - they are looking for suggestions (and writing help if interested!) publicusaresearchbenefits.com
New lab alert!! 🚨 Emily heads off to start the Aery Jones lab! She’s a fantastic, creative and thoughtful scientist who is also an awesome mentor! If you have the opportunity to join her lab - don’t hesitate! I can’t recommend it enough!
I am thrilled to announce that the Aery Jones lab will be starting in January 2026 @UMBaltimore! I've accepted a position in the Department of Neurobiology and Medicine Institute for Neuroscience Discovery.

🚨Paper Alert🚨 Our paper on the mechanism of homeostatic control in PV interneuron activity is now online in Nature! A massive thanks to all the authors, including @clembrnrd, @FurshamH and @MarinLab. Read the paper at nature.com/articles/s4158….
1/10 Our latest research, led by @MartijnSelten, identifies a mechanism through which Parvalbumin (PV) interneurons regulate their activity in the #cortex. This is the story @Nature nature.com/articles/s4158… 🧵⬇︎ @dev_neuro @MRC_CNDD @KingsIoPPN @ERC_Research @RosetreesT
Pleased to announce the newest member of the Aery family: our 5 month old son, Kynan 👶! He's super curious and talkative, a champion sleeper, and a source of endless joy ❤️ I've been mostly MIA from social media since maternity leave, so I'm glad to finally share our good news
Yes, when you know your new discovery can't get published in a high-profile journal without 3 more years satisfying unnecessary reviewer demands. If you discover a flying pig, reviewers will force you to sequence the genome and do scRNAseq to understand how the wings developed.
Have changes in science over the past 50 years reduced the chances of trainees experiencing the joy of discovery?
I'm finally flying to the blue place 🦋. Find me there at bsky.app/profile/emilya…
Truly beautiful work 😍😍 thank you for designing it for the @BlackInNeuro annual report! 💖
This illustration was so fun to create. Finding the right balance of transparency to show the brain while also maintaining clarity and emphasis of the hairstyle was important to me because the hair is symbolic of Black culture and I wanted to honor that.🖤 @BlackInNeuro #sciart
Several positions open at UW (including in my lab) for this awesome program- importantly, students from nearby colleges/universities are welcome to apply (not just students at host schools)!
Applications are now open for the Shenoy Undergraduate Research Fellowship in Neuroscience (SURFiN) program for the 2025–26 academic year. The SURFiN program aims to spark and sustain interest in neuroscience among undergraduate students who have not had access to research…
Our latest research, led by @AntoineMadar, on what #SynapticPlasticity rules shape CA1 and CA3 representations in the hippocampus during familiarization has just been published in @NatureNeuro! Read here: nature.com/articles/s4159…
