Is optimism socially transmissible?
Our new study shows it propagates via social prediction errors. When we "imagine together," simulation discrepancies drive an update in expectations to align with the group. A dynamic resource shaped by social interaction.

1/2 Just like social groups, human memory is organized in interconnected patterns. Activating one memory can trigger related ones, similar to how information spreads through a community. Could social sharing shape how memories are formed?

It looks super interesting. Unfortunately, I don't have access to it. May you send me the manuscript copy? Thank you in advance

It describes an optimal time window, shortly after memory formation, that enables substantial structural adjustments. With repeated reactivations, the network stabilizes, enhancing resistance to change and safeguarding essential information.
The Segregation-to-Integration Transformation (SIT) model proposes a framework for memory transformation via neural network changes. Memories shift from highly modular to less modular forms over time, guided by neural reactivations and plasticity rules.
Finally out! New paper in Network Neuroscience with

The model pinpoints a specific timeframe during which memories exhibit the highest susceptibility to change. Preprint here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
The SIT model provides a theoretical framework for understanding the evolution of memories over time. SIT shows that memories transition from segregated to intricately integrated network structures, reflecting the dynamic aspect of memory evolution.
Very excited to share the “The Segregation-To-Integration Transformation (SIT) Model of Memory Evolution”, with @fuentemilla.bsky.social
