How is the semantic content of a movie processed by our brains? 🧠🎬
We decode characters, events, & other features and investigate how populations and single neurons represent movie features. Check my poster @sfn.org #sfn25!

I’m really excited to be part of this collaboration that started with a chat at the poster of @treber.bsky.social and @humansingleneuron.bsky.social at SfN in 2018 (!) Katharina and everyone involved did a really fantastic job at using adaptive sampling to learn about semantic tuning in human MTL.
🚨Preprint: Semantic Tuning of Single Neurons in the Human Medial Temporal Lobe

1/8: How do human neurons encode meaning?
In this work, led by Katharina Karkowski, we recorded hundreds of human MTL neurons to study semantic coding in the human brain:

Semantic Tuning of Single Neurons in the Human Medial Temporal Lobe
The Medial Temporal Lobe (MTL) is key to human cognition, supporting memory, emotional processing, navigation, and semantic coding. Rare direct human MTL recordings revealed concept cells, which were ...

Neurons in the medial temporal lobe do not fire in sequence to object presentation. A working memory experiment revealed theta-locked firing without item order. RNNs mirror this pattern, suggesting memory relies on phase coding, not replay.

Phase of firing does not reflect temporal order in sequence memory of humans and recurrent neural networks - Nature Neuroscience
The temporal order of events in working memory is thought to be reflected by ordered neuronal firing at different phases. Here the authors show that this is not the case and that phase order is linked...

Science Alert 🚨: Our paper is now out in @natureneuro.bsky.social - We show that the firing phase of neurons in human MTL doesn’t reflect the order of events, challenging a long-standing theory of human memory.

Paper Alert 🚨: New work from our own loopie @stefanieliebe.bsky.social & @humansingleneuron.bsky.social in Nature Neuroscience!

They show that neuron firing phase in human MTL does not reflect event order challenging a key memory theory.
