Not something you get to experience on every university visit: My visit to Tsukuba University coincides with the annual ceremony to console the soul of experimental animals. Everyone lined up will place a flower and bow to honour the animals.

- Celebrating induction as fellows of the royal society of Canada (2020 style)
- A new paper from our lab: “Memory formation in the absence of experience”. This work was led by Gisella Vetere (@InAnOther ). If you’re interested in learning more there’s a thread below. nature.com/articles/s4159…
- RIP my departmental colleague, Endel Tulving (1927-2023). Such a profound impact on the science of memory in the 20th and 21st centuries. His theoretical contributions will surely endure.
- We have a (faculty) position at SickKids in _any_ area of neuroscience (e.g., developmental neuroscience, systems neuroscience, molecular and cellular neuroscience, neural signalling/dynamics). Please retweet! career.sickkids.ca:8001/psc/CRPRD/CARE…
- A new paper from our lab: Dentate gyrus ensembles gate context-dependent neural states and memory retrieval | Science Advances science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… This work was led by Cesar Coelho (postdoc in my lab) and Andrew Mocle (postdoc in @sjo09 lab). A brief 🧵. 1/n
- A new paper from our lab: Disruption of Oligodendrogenesis Impairs Memory Consolidation in Adult Mice cell.com/neuron/fulltex… If you're interested, there's a short thread below 1/n
- Amazing turn out for the climate change march in Toronto (view looking up Bay St from SickKids research tower)
00:00 - And so the pendulum swings back... barely three weeks after this nature.com/articles/natur… , there is this: Human Hippocampal Neurogenesis Persists throughout Aging cell.com/cell-stem-cell…
- Just received this from @JustinTrudeau! Honoured to be named a Canada Research Chair in Memory Research!
- A new paper from our lab: recovery of 'lost' infant memories in mice. This work was led by @AxelGuskjolen (pictured) and is published in @CurrentBiology: cell.com/current-biolog… If you're interested in this work, this thread has some more background. 1/7
- Remembering retrieval: Our new review on the neurobiology of memory retrieval, with @sjo09 and twitterless Stefan Kohler Here's a link to the pdf: rdcu.be/bRNoL
