1/14 How does sleep help memory? we developed closed-loop deep brain stimulation during sleep in human prefrontal cortex w/ timing based on hippocampal activity TLDR: boosting hippocampus-cortex coordination improves memory @NatureNeuro | rdcu.be/ddxxR
Cortical closed-loop electrical stimulation can prevent pathological hippocampal-cortical communication and preserve long-term memory in focal epilepsy @dk2955 @AhnafRHassan @UCIEngineering @NeuroE_C @UCIrvine @UCI_EpiCenter nature.com/articles/s4159…

Had a brilliant time at #SXSWLondon organized by @CNSfund discussing the future of sleep - issues ranging from monitoring health, through unique interventions, recording EEG via earbuds, to disengaging from ruminations falling asleep & lucid dreaming @lustenca @simon_joe50
So very proud of our own @OmerBenBarak1 who received the prestigious Sieratzki PhD scholarship for her research on pupillometry and gaze imaging in closed eye conditions, well done Omer!
Astrocytes.. we haven't been paying enough attention: science.org/doi/epdf/10.11…
Our latest work, published in @CellCellPress, identifies a rare soluble #tau species in human #Alzheimer’s brain that suppresses CA1 complex-spike bursting, a hippocampal neuronal firing pattern that is critical for learning and memory. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Our latest: SleepEEGpy - check it out !
Tired of spending months teaching every new student how to clean and analyze sleep EEG? 🧠💤 We were too. @LabNir That's why we built SleepEEGpy- a simple open-source pipeline to make sleep EEG research faster, easier, and standardized! 👇 doi.org/10.1016/j.comp…
Nachum's new book Natural Neuroscience is out! A fresh take on how brains work in the real world—well worth a read.

Celebrating spring holidays with lab yoga and picnic, thanks Revital Hershkovich for great lesson! Happy Passover
Fantastic #inTRACE conference in Parma, bridging neuroscience and clinic in intracranial recordings & stimulation, non-invasive measures, sleep, modeling. Attending with clinical partners Ido Strauss and Firas Fahoum, thx to organizers @andreapigorini Dr. Avanzini Nigruada team
