Neurobiologist seeking explanations for how it all begins, how it all ends, and everything in-between. Associate Professor at Seoul National Univ.
A drop of milkshake takes a wild ride after it is swallowed. Rachel and Kiersten came up with cool strategies for visualizing food passing through the mouse GI tract and mapping the activity of the same 100s of brainstem neurons across weeks during feeding and other behaviors.
I’m so excited to share our preprint on how brainstem neurons sense and integrate multiple body signals during food consumption. We imaged 1000s of neurons across the lateral parabrachial nucleus (LPBN) in behaving mice. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
What an incredible inaugural meeting—I truly hope this becomes a regular event in the future! So many great memories, not just at Janelia but also on Seldon Island—running while discussing science with @RibeiroCarlitos! 🏃♂️🔬
Big thanks to @zaknight, @danamsmall, @KaraLMarshall, and @HHMIJanelia for an incredible meeting on the sensory biology of ingestion! 🍔🧠👃🏼👅Inspiring, insightful, and a true highlight🤩! Hoping this is the first of many🤞🏼! #feeding #sensorybiology
So great to reunite after 10 years! Thanks for the inspiring talk and discussions, @Teru_Okuyama. It's amazing to see the incredible work you're doing and how you're shaping the next generation in Tokyo!
I can't believe it’s already been 10 years since we were postdocs on the 5th floor at MIT. I'm deeply grateful to Sung-Yon @syk_net for inviting me to Korea!!
I highly recommend anyone who’s interested in brain-body axis to go work with @syk_net Smart, knowlegable, and nice, a rare combination. Cool mentor✅ Cool science ✅ Cool city✅ sungyonkimlab.org instagram.com/p/DJ5uNrUyouc/
A magical day celebrating @KarlDeisseroth's Asan Award in Medicine! 🇰🇷🎉 Watch this great video illustrating his achievements: youtube.com/watch?v=tOzKu8… Deeply grateful and inspired. Congrats again, Karl! #AsanAward #Optogenetics #Neuroscience
Explored Gyeongju, the thousand-year capital of the Shilla dynasty, with some of the brightest minds in the field. Stimulating discussions throughout the day! #ksbns2024 #SSIBlingsInTheWild @SSIBsociety
Grateful for the chance to present our work and connect with amazing minds. Huge thanks to @FelixFelxfel for organizing an incredible event! Also gained a deep appreciation for Spain’s rich history and culture—what a beautiful country! 🇪🇸 #socialbehavior #Spain
The Social Brain workshop has wrapped up after 3.5 days in beautiful Baeza, Spain! A fantastic learning experience supported by @UNIAuniversidad and led by @FelixFelxfel & @camillabellone A wonderful opportunity for personal &social connection. Huge thanks to everyone involved!
Neuro-brotherhood in Suzhou! Lectured at @CSHANews and reunited with the renowned @81yufu. One of the best perks of being a scientist is traveling to meet fellow researchers, discussing and learning together, and making friends worldwide! 🌏🔬
Thanks again to chairs @OferYizhar @bjmarlin @okaysteve for organizing such a great conference @OptoGRC !🎉
Always great to reunite with the homies...!
Beautiful mini D-lab reunion at OptoGRC
Day 1 of #optogrc2024, and my colleagues were right—Tuscany is the perfect GRC site! @ilanawitten and @denisejcai already kicked things off with stellar lectures. Excited for the rest of the conference!🌟@OptoGRC
See the mind-body connection in a whole new light at this #OptoGRC2024 session! 🏃🧠 Learn about taking opto out of the brain and into the heart & gut with DL @anna_beyeler & featuring @syk_net, @ritchie_chen, @Yoav_Livneh, @NadineGogolla, @sarah_stern & @minelarinel!
The 2nd #CSHAsia Summer School on Modern Techniques in #Neuroscience: #Probes, Detections and Discoveries will be held in August. Anyone with a keen interest in neuroscience are heartily encouraged to submit the application (csh-asia.org/?content/2402). Hope to see you in Suzhou!
