The team of the intercampus project “From Search to Analysis: A Complete Guide to Work with Scientific Literature” is launching a series of seminars to help the academic community of our university effectively navigate the rapidly changing world of scientific information. During October, leading experts from the Higher School of Economics will give 5 open lectures to a wide audience on the use of bibliometric and digital tools for literature search and analysis.

From August 26–29, 2025, the largest annual linguistics conference, Societas Linguistica Europaea, took place in Bordeaux, France. Doctoral students and researchers from HSE University took part in the event. The paper ‘Lability Drift in Modern Aramaic languages’ by Elena Shvedova was highly praised by the expert community and took first place among PhD student presentations. In an interview with the HSE News Service, Elena Shvedova spoke about her research and the conference itself.

The annual Interdisciplinary Forum "Bioinformatics and Cardiogenetics: Realities of 2025" was held on September 8-9. It focused on the project "Machine Learning Technologies in Predicting Outcomes of Acute Coronary Syndrome," which is being implemented within the Mirror Lab.

An international team, including scientists from HSE University, has demonstrated for the first time that the anterior and posterior portions of the human hippocampus have distinct roles in associative memory. Using stereo-EEG recordings, the researchers found that the rostral (anterior) portion of the human hippocampus is activated during encoding and object recognition, while the caudal (posterior) portion is involved in associative recall, restoring connections between the object and its context. These findings contribute to our understanding of the structure of human memory and may inform clinical practice. A paper with the study findings has been published in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience.
