My PhD work is out! How do mothers balance tending to their own needs, such as eating, and taking care of their offspring? We examined the link between feeding and parenting neural circuits and how they are modulated postpartum in mice 🧵 (1/9) PREPRINT: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

What a treat to start the new year with a new paper from the lab, with @azayhara ! Hongyu_Chang and Wenbo Tang found that pupil dynamics in naturally sleeping mice uncover a microstructure of sleep that organizes different types of memory replay: nature.com/articles/s4158…

I am pleased to announce the publication of our special issue on scientific histories of hippocampal research in the journal Hippocampus! This special issue contains articles by many influential contributors to our field. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/toc/10.100…

Super concerned about those who have NIH diversity related funding who are left in limbo. Let alone the dismantling of offices that have grown amazing programs over the years like at NINDS

Trump's proposal is ILLEGAL & amounts to an indiscriminate funding cut for research centers of all sizes, NOT just Ivies. It will mean shuttering labs across the country, layoffs in red & blue states, & derailing lifesaving research on everything from cancer to opioid addiction.

This would cripple biomedical research at public institutions like University of Utah, threatening life-saving treatments for cancer, Alzheimers, and Parkinsons. I urge our representatives to act now to protect the funding that makes this research possible. John Curtis Governor Cox Celeste Maloy

I, and every scientist I've talked to, believe the end result of this devastating cut will be that Universities will simply pass on the buck to investigators. Many of us fervently agree that university administrations & bureaucracy should be downsized and reformed. This maneuver

For the past decade all I’ve heard from the GOP is how the constitution is under attack. Free speech. Guns. Yet, when the fundamental fabric of the constitution is being destroyed by an unelected billionaire…radio silence. There’s no spine.

Just spent 30 hours reviewing for an NIH study section set for Thurs—now postponed indefinitely. 20 other scientists did the same X multiple sections. Huge waste of time, resources, and funding, with real costs for science and economy. Donald J. Trump admin is bad for everyone.

Very excited that this cute study is finally out as a preprint. It began in Neurobridges 2023 when Tal Nahari approached me after my lecture on foraging theory wondering : " I have some saccadic eye movement data that looks like your patch foraging model" . Here we are, two

Our latest research, led by Antoine Madar, on what #SynapticPlasticity rules shape CA1 and CA3 representations in the hippocampus during familiarization has just been published in Nature Neuroscience! Read here: nature.com/articles/s4159…

Heading to #COSYNE2025? Don't miss our latest work, led by Jack Bowler, on curriculum learning! We've uncovered how recurrent networks in the entorhinal cortex and RNNs develop specific dynamical mechanisms for abstract learning, depending on how they are trained. Poster #1-058

Interesting set of questions at the interface of AI and neuroscience, and a fantastic cast of scientists to offer their ideas. Looks like another great transmitter article!

I’m excited to share a new paper from the lab. The study led by Xiaowei Gu reveals how the mPFC encodes complex emotional memories, using an internal model to infer emotional associations and memories via projections to the amygdala rdcu.be/el19t nature.com/articles/s4158…
