Happy 105th (!) birthday to @GairdnerAwards oldest living Laureate, Brenda Milner. Born on this day in in **1918**! In 2005, she was honoured "For pioneering research in the understanding of memory". Truly inspiring!

Excited to share our new results! We (huge team effort led by post-doc extraordinaire @SLLesuis) examined the effects of acute stress on threat memory generalization and engram ensemble architecture. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

So what's new? i always hate that question. But when @NatRevNeurosci asks for my reflections on neuroscience to celebrate its 20th anniversary, I reflect. Here are said reflections from me and loads of wonderful neuroscientists. Interesting read! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Excited to share a new review on all things Engram Susumu Tonegawa (@MIT_Picower) and I wrote Memory engrams: Recalling the past and imagining the future science.sciencemag.org/content/367/64… 1/3

Memory engrams: Recalling the past and imagining the future

The ability to form memory is an essential trait that allows learning and the accumulation of knowledge. But what is a memory? There has been a long history of searching for the neuronal substrate...

Wow! @DrNadiaChaudhri’s work featured in Canadian paintings (an account that brings me peace during covid times). Quite an honour Professor Chaudhri!

From the vault! @kkariko (left, Gairdner medal) taking the time to talk to me (right, $15 sparkly necklace) about my science. Her advice: not to follow trends in science, ask what i believe are important questions & never be deterred by uninformed critics. @GairdnerAwards

Excited to share a new paper from the lab. Examined memory linking + generalization at the neuronal engram ensemble level. IEG-based activity tagging systems lacked temporal specificity we needed, so we used scFLARE2 from @aliceyting's grp. cell.com/cell-reports/f… 1/5

Some good news. A wonderful postdoc in the lab landed her dream job! And that means we are looking for postdocs!

Excited to share our findings probing how engram ensembles are formed endogenously! tldr? Both neuronal excitability in min-h before an event & pre-existing functional connectivity help determine which neurons are allocated to an engram ensemble. tinyurl.com/y67mbvuv 1/6

Excited to share our latest (tinyurl.com/2rpjb4az) examining neurosci basis of a classic psychology finding. Endel Tulving's Encoding specificity hypothesis of memory (late 60s). Basically, high match between encoding and retrieval conditions = successful memory recall. 1/8
