by Clinical Neuropsychologist Online | Monday, September 14, 2026 | Neuroscience

Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 14 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41593-026-02435-5Fear learning increases the similarity of threatening and neutral context representations in ventral CA1, which may enable faster reinstatement of threat memories, compared to...

Human tau pathology is associated with lonely, nontraveling slow waves linked to memory impairment

by Clinical Neuropsychologist Online | Friday, September 11, 2026 | Neuroscience

Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 11 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41593-026-02415-9Frontal cortical tau pathology in aging humans is associated with reduced slow-wave travel during sleep. This reduced propagation is associated with poorer overnight memory...

Representational learning by optimization of neural manifolds in an olfactory memory network

by Clinical Neuropsychologist Online | Thursday, September 10, 2026 | Neuroscience

Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 10 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41593-026-02429-3Using experiments and theory, the authors examine how olfactory memories are encoded in the zebrafish olfactory cortex. They find that experience reshapes the internal map of odor...
