Abba White, MS
3rd Annual Department Away Day! 36 participants. 4 teams. All for Championship Ring glory.
[Human Hungry Hungry Hippo was the winning event of the day...]
Abba crushes it at her master's thesis defense!! Project entitled Exercise and Inhibition in Deep Brain Regions. Congrats to Abba!
👏🤸
Also excited that Abba will start her PhD in the lab in Fall 2025!
Department Awards Banquet! Anke wins Graduate Student of the Year; Abba wins Faculty Choice Award; and Ainsley recipient of the Bronson Research Fellowship! Congrats to all! 👏🎉🥳
Anke successfully defends her dissertation entitled Behavioral and Neural Correlates of Motor Sequence Learning and Memory Consolidation in Children.
Congrats Anke!! 🎉. 👏. 🍻
Owen crushes everyone in axe throwing. 🏆
But Anne heads back to the Netherlands. 😥
We are excited to serve as a local (Salt Lake City) hub for the International Sleep Replay Workshop.
New preprint in the lab - Impaired online and enhanced offline motor sequence learning in individuals with Parkinson's disease
Brad visits Rowland Hall High School to discuss the importance of sleep for health as well as learning & memory
Raclette party! 🧀 🍷
Excited to host Dr. Ian Greenhouse from The Action Control Lab at the University of Oregon for a few days at the U!
Abba successfully proposes her master's thesis entitled Exercise and Inhibition in Deep Brain Regions. Well done Abba!
New paper in Journal of Neuroscience - The hippocampus represents information about movements in their temporal position in a learned motor sequence
Check out preprint from our close collaborators in the Sleep and Motor Memory Lab. The capacity of the medial temporal lobe to represent memory items in their ordinal position in a sequence is domain general.
Owen and Emily join the LMN!!!
Ryder presents his poster at the 2024 Undergraduate Research Symposium!
Brad presents at DCD15-IMDRC6, a joint conference of the International Motor Development Research Consortium and the International Society of Research and Advocacy for Developmental Coordination Disorder in Ghent, Belgium.
2nd Annual Departmental Research Away Day was a tremendous success!!
Obvious winner of the day was the dizzy bat..
Anke's first paper from her PhD research is published in Communcations Psychology. Children exhibit a developmental advantage in the offline processing of a learned motor sequence.
