Very excited to post our lab’s first paper where we propose a new theory of learning and dopamine function science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…. Here’s a few folks in our lab being taught by my daughter to dance to a “dopamine” song to celebrate 1/30

Amazing profile on my boss and mentor! I'm incredibly fortunate that Dr. Manley took a chance on me both as a fellow and junior faculty member @NeurosurgUCSF! Geoffrey Manley: TBI guy thelancet.com/journals/laneu…

New paper from the lab is on Biorxiv. In this tour de force Jing shows that transient exposure in development to pathogenic autoantibodies to the NMDAR cause long-lasting anatomic and behavioral defects in motor function. A ton of work from a big team! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Too many scientific highlights to name, but student, postdoc, faculty karaoke was tons of fun and a great bonfire on the beach.

Super to be back for our first in person retreat at Asilomar in 3 years! Thanks to @JoJoLab5 and Riken students for visiting and looking forward to seminar by @JoJoLab5 tomorrow back on campus. 3 of our students and @KaruneshGanguly will be guests at Riken’s retreat this year
