我的实验室正式在北师大开张了!现在急需招聘博士后1-2 名。 我的研究经费充足,马上要启动几个很先进的项目。欢迎有志之士回国与我一起干、大、事!💪 brain.bnu.edu.cn/English/Facult…

北京时间6月29日早上10点,我们邀请了UCSD的@LeWang74810712 博士来介绍他最新发表在Nature Metabolism上的研究成果。主持人为@ZhenggangZhu。欢迎大家参加~

The long gestating final chapter of my thesis is out in @SfNJournals this week as a featured cover article. Thanks to all my coauthors @GorisLab @gabrielmstine @EeroSimoncelli @TonyMovshon and Richard Perez. Short preview below 1/7: doi.org/10.1523/JNEURO…

Check out @CostaNeuroLab posters (now @EmoryUniversity) at #SfN2024 from @k_rothenhoefer & @MicTott in collab w/ @martinowk/@stephaniehicks! We've made a big push to use molecular tools to study amygdala function in nonhuman primates @NPRCnews. Looking forward to feedback!
I will present a poster at #sfn2024, to show how reinforcement learning induces neural circuit plasticity. It is a follow-up study of our recently published work cell.com/neuron/fulltex…. If you liked the paper, you would enjoy the poster too. Please stop by if you are interested~

It's finally out, on Joe's last day in the lab before heading off to postdoc! We asked whether a putative "social" brain area does anything unique with social cues when they're not used for any social reasoning. Turns out it does! nature.com/articles/s4146…
Our article with @neurojacob on the timescales of learning in the prefrontal cortex ended up being featured in the cover of the journal nature.com/articles/s4158…
I will present this work tomorrow morning at the AMS meeting in DC. Please stop by if you are also attending the symposium. 😄
