Cognitive Neuroscientist (PhD) interested in electrophysiology, emotional memory formation and retrieval.
🧠🎉Excited to announce our new paper out in @NatureComms rdcu.be/cYo0F. We describe amygdala-hippocampal oscillatory coupling during emotional memory formation in humans. Work done at the @The_Strange_Lab with @dieloz10 and wonderful international collaborators
Join us later this week in Madrid for the Human Memory Circuits: interdisciplinary meeting of the Spanish EBRAINS Node. Free registration! eventos.upm.es/112061/detail/…
In the lab, we have had plenty of discussions about how the amygdala theta activity we observe in human intracranial recordings in response to emotional stimuli is actually generated. This paper, just out in @SfNtweets, provides mechanistic insights jneurosci.org/content/44/17/…
New paper from the lab! After 2 decades of studying BOLD and LFP correlates of emotional memory, we are finally seeing what happens at the single unit (putative single neuron) level. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Happy International Women’s day! #8marzo2024. Watch this video to learn about the research the women in the lab are doing (in Spanish)
The Women in Science Day is approaching, here is my little contribution. Thanks to #voces11, #Cuentame11F for having me!
¡Queremos invitaros a que disfrutéis del episodio 4x03 de nuestro podcast #voces11F iitulado "Explorando la Mente: Emociones y Memoria" justo a la Dra. Manuela Costa 🧠 Descubre los rincones de nuestro cerebro ligados a emociones y memoria.
New preprint! Human intracranial recordings reveal that the retrieval of aversive memories is hippocampal-centered, with hippocampal activity patterns originated from the amygdala during encoding.@The_Strange_Lab @ERC_Research and wonderful collaborators. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…
Check out 👇 new video on our clinical trial for treatment-refractory PTSD. Hear from a patient in the trial now in remission, sharing their story. Recruitment is ongoing. Please help spread the word. #PTSDTreatment #ClinicalTrial vimeo.com/861807841
If you are interested in amygdala-hippocampus reactivated/transformed patterns between encoding and retrieval of aversive scenes stop by my poster today #71. @The_Strange_Lab, @IBROorg Enjoy this final day at this incredible conference #learnmem2023!

And if you really want to shake your conceptual foundations of MTL function, come and see @albaperisy explain differential gamma responses in human anterior vs posterior hippocampus and PHG vs PRh cortex to low vs high spatial frequency
Coming to #LEARNMEM2023? We are in LA and have something for everyone: Human intracranial potentials and single units, "Superager" brain perfusion, longitudinal MRI in dementia patients with post-mortem histopathology, and.... experimental psychology. Come and talk to us.
#Cuentame11F, Ya está online mi vídeo youtu.be/QG3wQHgfikA, una iniciativa para promover las mujeres y la ciencia. Se puede votar 👍 y compartir hasta el día 30 de abril! @The_Strange_Lab
@SANLabBielefeld Excited about our guest talks from @The_Strange_Lab Tue 1/31 at 4:15 pm Alba Peris: ‘Medial temporal lobe responses to spatial frequency manipulations‘ Manuela Costa: ‘How do we form aversive memories?‘ feel free to join uni-bielefeld.zoom.us/j/69577059543?…
Congratulations, @mcosta_17! We look forward to seeing you at #LEARNMEM2023! 🧠🏝
Learn from the past, prepare for the future. After an incredible experience at #SfN22, I’m now happy to share that I have been awarded an #IBROTravelGrant to attend the @LEARNMEM. Hope to see you there! #grant #award #neuroscience #IBRO

In The Translation Project @KnowingNeurons undergrad students @ UCLA translate articles as course work and conduct a Neuroscience outreach activity in Spanish, a great partnership between the sciences and humanities! Making Neuroscience accessible to more ppl worldwide 🧠
Congratulations to @ArielleHoganPhD, @albaperisy and @thepathphd on winning the Next Generation Award (Pre/Post Doctorate)
Join us tomorrow at the nanosymposium on human intracranial recording from 13h to 16h30. My talk will be at 15h15 #SfN22, abstractsonline.com/pp8/#!/10619/s…, organized by @QasimEtal and @KBijanki.
🎉 If you're at #sfn22, stop by my poster today 1-5pm XX37 to learn about how human hippocampal ripples tune cortical activity in uncertain contexts
Drop by my poster today (#1-9 Long-term memory) to see our results on human electrophysiology and emotional memory retrieval. Work done with @The_Strange_Lab. Today attending the Human single neuron meeting in L.A.
