Our new work is out in Science Advances. We show that neural activity in the striatum reflects not just cortical inputs, but also often-underappreciated thalamic inputs. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Excited to share our new preprint on olfactory bulb dynamics 🎉! Huge thanks to @AlexKoulakov @navlakha_lab and to our collaborator Bin @BioIntelligeNet 👉🏼 biorxiv.org/content/10.648… to read more about adaptation, representational drift, and odor manifolds 🔵🔴

🧵1/ Excited to share our new paper: "Brain Region-Specific Epigenomic Reorganization and Altered Cell States in Alzheimer’s Disease" We built a single-cell multi-omic atlas (DNA methylation + 3D genome) from AD and control brains. Paper: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share that the main part of my PhD thesis is now published in @ScienceMagazine! I am grateful for my amazing mentor’s @takaki_komiyama guidance and the contributions of all co-authors!

Today in @ScienceMagazine: How do our brains bring our attention on one sense over another? UC San Diego researchers have discovered the group of neurons responsible, with implications for various health disorders and AI research.science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

@alexbchen Congrats!

Excited to share that the astrocyte-centered half of my thesis work is now out @ScienceMagazine! With @MishaAhrens @marcduque3 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 1/8

Thrilled to share my postdoc work from @takaki_komiyama lab, showing how motor learning reshapes thalamic influence on motor cortex to enable learned movements. Hats off to our collaborators and co-authors for their incredible contributions! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Our new paper is out in Science. What is the synaptic plasticity rule in the brain, we asked. It turns out there are multiple, even within individual neurons. Congrats Jake! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

New paper led by @S_Blumenstock shows that targeted stimulation of a subtype of cortical inhibitory neurons can ameliorate motor deficits in Huntington’s disease mice. A great collab with @IrinaDudanova biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

663 days since the senseless tragedy that took An, we present a manuscript that reports some of the discoveries that she left us. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

University of Washington biochemist David Baker has won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his pioneering work designing new proteins that can neutralize viruses, target cancer cells, and more. Read more from @uwmedicine: go.uw.edu/2024NobelPrize #NobelPrize #GoHuskies

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.”

Come say hi to us in Chicago! #sfn2024

I am excited to announce that a part of my thesis work with @takaki_komiyama is out on bioRxiv! Summary 🧵⬇️. Thanks to all the co-authors' contributions!

@XinyueCui Congrats!

My PhD paper is out! We imaged gut neuron activity in living, eating flies (first time in history!), and found a Gut-Brain-Gut neural circuit loop that allows fruit flies to adjust their ingestion bouts based on the sucrose concentration of the food! (1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share our latest research published in @Nature! We explored how working memory representations evolve and stabilize with practice, using simultaneous volumetric imaging of more than 73,000 neurons. Big thanks to my amazing team and collaborators! Special appreciation to @pgolshani and Alipasha Vaziri for their invaluable contributions. Let’s dive into the highlights! #Neuroscience #Research #Memory #Science #NeuralDynamics 🌟🔬🧠

@arashbe @Nature Congrats!!

@BrainMadelyn Congrats!

Excited to share our methods work out in #Neurophotonics today! We coupled a new microprism design with a long working distance objective to track thousands of cells across days in the striatum. doi.org/10.1117/1.NPh.…

A bit late announcement on twitter: I will move to 🏝️Florida🐊 next month to open my lab as an assistant professor @UFScripps My lab will study decision making, RL, number sense, autism using VR tasks for mice. I am recruiting postdoc/student/tech!!! Email or DM me if interested.

Super proud to share that Oscar Arroyo, a @UNC_GMB PhD student in my lab has been awarded a prestigious HHMI Gilliam fellowship. We are both looking forward to working with #GilliamFellows program to promote inclusive graduate training. Congratulations, Oscar!!
