Wassup y’all, my first manuscript from the Aoto Lab is out! Despite being discovered over 30 years ago, α-Nrxn influence on synapses remain enigmatic. Here, we investigate how different mutations in Nrx3α affects synaptic properties. Check out this study— jneurosci.org/content/44/41/…

We have a postdoc opening at DANDRITE Nordic EMBL P'ship Deadline: Nov 20th, 2024.

2p micromirror-scanned functional imaging and holographic optogenetics...in freely moving animals! Wonder where we'll be in 20 years. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 👀

Recording synaptic minis (mEPSCs)? We have a new paper trying to better understand how recorded datasets match synaptic changes. In short, they don't.. More info and the preprint below:

The Dendrites GRC/S is a consistently fantastic meeting - highly recommend!

Happy to share our new paper ⁦Nature Neuroscience⁩ “Formation of long-term memory without short-term memory revealed by CaMKII inhibition | Nature Neuroscience” nature.com/articles/s4159…

The director of the U.S. National Institutes of Health calls BRAIN a “high priority” but acknowledges that difficult decisions lie ahead if federal budgets remain flat. Learn more: bit.ly/4fiBLqD

Sous vide slices, anyone? #ephys #hautecuisine

I am super excited to share our article addressing a longstanding question in neurobiology: how Ca²⁺ signaling cascades initiated at dendritic spines operate at a distance. Check it out here: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S00… Cell

It’s an incredible feeling to see something you’ve poured your heart into come to life. I’m so proud of this work, born from my curiosity about hippocampal “cognitive tuning.” Our environment reflects our actions, evolving as we pursue our goals.

Nonpartisan factoid: 60% indirect cost on an NIH grant means 37.5% overhead, not 60%. 0.6 / 1.6 = 0.375. How much is necessary? Above my pay grade and will vary between institutions. But the misperception highlighted above is hurting potentially constructive dialogue.

The Department of Pharmacology is #Hiring an IT Senior Professional! Minimum qualifications: - A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field. - At least 2 years of professional-level experience, including research or educational experience.

Congratulations to winners of The Brain Prize 2025! Professors Michelle Monje🎗️ 🟦, Stanford Medicine and HHMI Investigator, and Frank Winkler, Heidelberg University Hospital, have pioneered the field of Cancer Neuroscience. They have revealed a profound connection between cancer and

Happy to share a new publication from my postdoc days, shedding light on how distal tuft dendrites participate in hippocampal place field formation while mice learn to navigate: cell.com/neuron/fulltex… Thank you to Columbia University's Zuckerman Institute Communications for the great write-up!

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…

One more: this is a really fun and interesting paper. In short, simply recalling a memory of a cold place can trigger a metabolic response! nature.com/articles/s4158…

New collaborative preprint with Attila Losonczy Lab and Polleux Lab! How does synaptic organization shape place fields in CA1 Pyramidal Neurons? We mapped thousands of synapses & showed that clustering of excitatory inputs is key for tuning. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #Neuroscience
