The global market for memory chips, particularly DRAM and NAND Flash, is experiencing significant price increases, primarily attributed to the explosive demand from operators of AI, who are buying up these essential components in enormous quantities.

🧠 New paper by Huang et al.: By using #pharmacological #fMRI and dynamic #connectome-based #PredictiveModeling, they show how #cortisol reshapes whole-brain #NetworkDynamics during emotional memory encoding. Trial-level analyses reveal distinct but increasingly integrated #arousal and #memory networks under #stress, supporting a hormonally driven "memory formation mode".

How do you think the brain "stores" our personal memories? 🧠
This is a question for everyone out there, especially for non-neuroscientists and regardless of education level or familiarity with biology.
I'd just like to hear all your ideas and theories, however crazy they may sound. Be as specific or vague as you like. Please do not look at the answers before giving yours so you are not influenced.
More specifically:
- What do you think happens (in the brain) at the time of experiencing something that we will end up remembering?
- What do you think happens (in the brain) when, later, we remember that thing?
Boosts welcome but answers even more welcome!
🗣 The call for papers for the international conference ‘Crossing Oceans: Digital Humanities in Dialogue’ has been extended until 26 January 2026. The aim of the conference is to open up dialogue on how #DigitalHumanities can drive pluralistic approaches to #history, #memory, #heritage and #creativity.
📍 It will take place at the University of Évora (and online) on 26 and 27 February 2026.

@pixeltracker I've had that happen before when clicking publishers' doi links, maybe the doi organization takes a little longer to push changes than large journals like Cell.
This paper is really cool though. A nonlinear model of how the cortex and hippocampus continuously interact to co-create and reinstate memories helps flesh out some of my understanding on how perception-memory-cognition is a dynamic interdependent network.
I wish the state space idea was more detailed as a model though, like mathematically. That could be done in "further research" I'm sure. Also I want to go through @adredish 's 1999 book "Beyond the Cognitive Map" http://redishlab.neuroscience.umn.edu/Papers/1999%20ByCM.pdf again with this paper by AJ Horner, because in it he lays out theoretical frameworks for hippocampal place cells like switching between multiple cognitive maps and attractor networks, then mentions near the end how episodic memory could use similar mechanisms
@axoaxonic @adredish Fully agree 👍 Horner's framework really begs for a formal dynamical model: defining trajectories, #attractors, and #manifolds within that 3D space. Something that could turn his conceptual #StateSpace into a genuine #computational theory of #memory dynamics.
I didn’t know Redish's book ("Beyond the Cognitive Map") before your comment! Sounds highly relevant and I’ll definitely put it on my reading list 👌
