Our new paper is out in Current Biology! We learn many things in parallel, and brain circuits are constantly rewiring across brain areas. It is notoriously difficult to understand which rewiring events are responsible for which type of learning. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Our new paper is out in Neuron! cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S08… How does the brain decide how much of the past to use when making decisions? In rapidly changing environments, recent experiences matter more; in stable environments, longer histories are useful.

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/scia…

🧵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/10.1101/…

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!
Our new paper is out in Science. We identified a subgroup of cholinergic neurons that mediate sensory modality-specific attention. They change their funcitonal properties within secs of behavioral context change. Congrats to Bin and the team! science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

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 🌟🔬🧠

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.
