The U of Utah is an amazing place to push the boundaries of knowledge and to live! If you ever wished to essentially live inside a National Park and study the human brain, this is your chance.

In this work, we showed that stimulation enhanced long-term memory for object but not scene images. Furthermore, BLA stimulation elicited stronger evoked responses in the anterior vs. posterior medial temporal lobe (MTL), regions that preferentially process objects versus scenes.

This work was led by our awesome postdoc, now professor at Hartwick College, Dr. Krista Wahlstrom, in collaboration with our wonderful colleagues at WashU and Emory, Drs. Jon Willie, Peter Brunner, and Joe Manns. This project also involved a lot of incredible students! TY all!

I recently spoke at a Congressional briefing with a military veteran from our PTSD clinical trial on the life-changing impact of the NIH Brain Initiative. Watch here👇 braininitiative.nih.gov/news… The BRAIN Initiative is now facing a 20% cut on top of the 40% last yr…

I need people to understand how difficult it is to get an NIH grant. You spend months writing a proposal, following strict guidelines that include a detailed multiyear budget, bios of everyone on your team, plans for participant safety & ethical conduct. Then you send it off -1/n

Raise your hand if you’re an assistant professor who has now had to journey through a global pandemic AND a constitutional crisis, all while trying to obtain tenure 🙋🏻‍♀️ I’m tired.

Scientists are feeling very powerless right now. We need state politicians to help...@PresidentUofU @SenJohnCurtis @GovCox @BobCarterMD. Our state prides itself on innovation, but one of the engines of innovation (university labs) is all in jeopardy if federal funding stops

Very honored to have received this award!

Through struggle and discipline, persistence and faith, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. helped move this country forward. As we honor his legacy today, let’s remember the lesson he taught us: that even in the face of impossible odds, people who love this country can help change it. In honor of #MLKDay, I hope you’ll do what you can in your community to create a better future for us all.

Four years ago, in the middle of a pandemic, we needed a leader with the character to put politics aside and do what was right. That’s what @JoeBiden did.   At a time when our economy was reeling, he drove what would become the world’s strongest recovery – with 17 million new jobs, historic wage gains, and lower health care costs. He passed landmark legislation to rebuild our nation’s infrastructure and address the threat of climate change.    I’m grateful to Joe for his leadership, his friendship, and his lifetime of service to this country we love.

The Special Counsel’s 1/6 Report, made public last night, confirms the unavoidable facts of 1/6 yet again. DOJ’s exhaustive and independent investigation reached the same essential conclusions as the Select Committee. All this DOJ evidence must be preserved. But most important now, as the Senate considers confirming Trump’s Justice Department nominees: if those nominees cooperated with Trump’s deceit to overturn the 2020 election, they cannot now be entrusted with the responsibility to preserve the rule of law and protect our Republic. As our framers knew, our institutions only hold when those in office are not compromised by personal loyalty to a tyrant. So this question is now paramount for Republicans: Will you faithfully perform the duties the framers assigned to you and do what the Constitution requires? Or do you lack the courage?

This is (to my knowledge) one of the first intracranial electrophysiological demonstrations that TMS to the dlPFC reaches the subgenual cingulate cortex! More to come in this space soon 🧠⚡️ @boeslab @jingjiang_psy @NickTrapp13 @StanfordBrain

Rest in Peace, President Carter! I was honored to ask President Carter a question at a symposium on Fairness at Emory. I wish he had more time leading our country.

BREAKING: Jimmy Carter, whose tireless humanitarian efforts made him one of the most respected former presidents in U.S. history, has died. He was 100. Read more about his life and legacy: abcnews.link/RrOph08
