Our research is now published in @Nature! This work, the culmination of my graduate work with @jasonyensunlee and @kei_m_igarashi, investigates item-outcome associative learning in the context of prefrontal-entorhinal cortical circuit.

3/n: Given the entorhinal cortex's role as an interface between cortical regions and the hippocampus, we hope this finding further highlights the importance of the entorhinal-prefrontal circuit in learning and memory...

4/n: and help us better understand how dichotomous representation evolves in these regions during associative learning.

The Igarashi lab at UC Irvine is recruiting postdocs.
We investigate neural circuit mechanisms for "what" memory (item memory) and how these circuits impair in Alzheimer's disease.
There are so many open questions left in our research - pls msg me for potential projects!

Delighted to share our latest collaboration work with Hitachi group. Here we found impaired sharp-wave ripple coordination between medial entorhinal cortex and CA1 in APP knock-in mice. Thanks for amazing support and work everyone! @kei_m_igarashi

The U.S. is an outlier in its low levels of financial support for young children’s care — something Democrats, with their safety net spending bill, are trying to change. nyti.ms/3DfrN6D

Are you using AAV to deliver genes to the nervous system? Good news / bad news. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…
First the bad news: we found AAV can shrink dendrites and disrupt synaptic transmission. The good news? We figured out why it happens, and can tell you how to avoid it. (1/n)

I’m delighted to share our project published in @Nature. It has been a great pleasure/honor working with @jasonyensunlee, Shogo and Tom to explore dopamine’s role in associative memory encoding of fan cells in the lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC).

We hope our findings shed a new perspective on the function of LEC and help advance learning and memory research field.

Our paper finally out in Nature!!!
@Nature
We found that dopamine facilitates associative memory encoding of fan cells in the lateral entorhinal cortex.
