Check out our review on how the prefrontal cortex integrates memory systems across timescales to guide adaptive behavior! And we detail the many plastic changes observed in PFC with learning and training, from single neurons to brain-wide activity patterns

If you’re in Seoul for #OHBM2024 and don’t want the brain mapping and neuroscience fun to end, I’m excited to be presenting in this symposium at @SeoulNatlUni tomorrow! Come check it out 🧠

I'm recruiting a Ph.D. student for the upcoming school year (Fall 2025). If you are interested in studying the neural bases of attention and working memory, I would love to hear from you! You can submit an application from now through Dec 1, 2024.

At #SfN24? I'll be presenting work w/ @johndmurray on Sat. 1pm at poster N34 on contingency representations in PFC unifying goal-directed planning and WM. And, I'll be recruiting for my new lab (jam-lab.org) starting Jan '25 at @UMiamiPsych - feel free to reach out!
Check out our work on the circuitry of WM-action interplay, led by the amazing @kiyonoggin! Two distinct TMS protocols to lPFC differentially interfered with proactive vs. reactive control mechanisms between WM and action goals, suggesting multiple timescales of adaptive control

Join us as a colleague! The Psychology Department @UMiamiPsych at University of Miami has two faculty positions (areas of focus are open). One in the Adult Division: umiami.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/UMFaculty/job/… and one in the Health Division: umiami.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/UMFacult…
So, IT IS HAPPENING TOMORROW! WMS2024 will kick off tomorrow at 9am CDT. Working memory researchers of all ages across the globe are welcome to attend to listen to and join the discussions on the cutting-edge WM research conducted by the ECRs! For more info, see below!
Our schedule and program for WMS2024 (#WMS2024) is now live at wmsymposium.org/program! We have 66 wonderful talks by early-career scientists on their current working memory projects, lined up over what will be a fun-filled four days – see you soon!

A #postdoc position careers.miami.edu/us/en/job/R100… in my lab (cailab-miami.org) at @UMiamiPsych on an exiting project of decoding spontaneous thoughts! Rich fMRI dataset, extention to basic or clinical directions, collaboration with @nico_schuck and @docqhuys! #compneuro #fMRI
Friendly reminder: Abstract submission for WMS2024 (July 9-12) is closing in a week (June 1)! Please submit your abstract following the link below if you haven't! wmsymposium.org We look forward to seeing you all and your cool work!
Come to Yale! 🧠My lab is looking for a new full-time RA/Post-Bac🧠 All psych- & neuro-related scientific backgrounds welcome, experience with behavioral methods and/or EEG/fMRI a plus! Contact me here if interested (and please RT!) -> actcompthink.org/contact.html
🚨🎉Submissions are now open for #WMS2024🎉🚨 You'll find the submission link on our home-page: wmsymposium.org
Ever wonder how people's brains differ from one another? ➡️ Individual differences in 🧠 organization commonly come in 2 forms: shifts in borders & 'ectopic intrusions' far from expected locations Now out in @NatureNeuro, led by @allydworetsky rdcu.be/dGeIp 🧵soon!
We have some exciting WMS announcements! First, the *5th* Annual Working Memory Symposium is happening July 9-12, 2024! (Submissions will open May 1) Second, we're excited to welcome two new organizers: Anastasia Kiyonaga (@kiyonoggin) and Marlene Rösner (@MarleneRosner)!
Excited to announce I'll be joining the University of Miami Psychology Dept. @UMiamiPsych as an asst. professor in Jan '25! My lab will study working memory, cognition, and PFC functional architecture using precision neuroimaging. Stay tuned for recruiting news and more!


Latest preprint from the lab! "Personalized circuit modeling captures variation in cortical functional connectivity" biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We apply whole-brain modeling at the individual-subject level & relate model expressivity to population modes of individual variation.
The Working Memory Symposium will return in 2024! We are now seeking a new post-doc organizer to join our organizing team. To apply, fill out the google form linked on our home page by February 26: wmsymposium.org/home
