In a recent issue of Nature Communications, we show that suppressing past events induces an “amnesic shadow” for experiences near in time to suppression, consistent with a global disruption to hippocampal function. The work has been featured in the Guardian and other press outlets, highlighted in Nature and by the Cognitive Neuroscience Society, and discussed in numerous science blogs.

If you look closely at the EEG signal, you’ll see the neural signature of the lab’s crack team of undergraduate research assistants thinking, “Hello, World!”

Great things are happening! Stay tuned for more as the school year gets underway.
