Mark Dombrovski, PhD

This 3-minute video, produced by @scitube_social, shares the core of what I have been working on over the past six years at @dgsomucla, and what I plan to keep further exploring at @CUBoulderMCDB: how specific connections form in the brain, and how they shape behavior. 📄 Recent…

Grateful to work with such creative and collaborative colleagues as @_Alina_Sergeeva from @ZuckermanBrain and John Lee from @dgsomucla. Take a look at their elegant work at @Nature showing how astrocytes use molecular self-recognition to shape their structure.

Delighted to receive a K99 award from the #NIH #NEI that will fund my independent work on molecular determinants of brain wiring for the next 5 years

Great talk by @DombrovskiMark, who visited the Weizmann Institute during these crazy times. Mark talked about visuomotor transformation - or in other words, how the fly brain translates vision into action. Super cool science using top-notch tools! Thanks Mark

Excited to share our new paper with Michael Hallquist @kaihwang12 and @bealuna55, bridging working memory and RL accounts of how rewards resolve option competition within parietal maps as one shifts from exploration to exploitation. science.org/doi/full/10.11…

Delighted to be back at the @uvabio to give the Fleming Lecture and meet old friends.
