@UCSDneuro Professor.
Today in @Nature: Researchers led by the @takaki_komiyama lab have ID'd a bridge between the thalamus and cortex as the key area that is modified during motor learning. They found that such learning sculpts circuit wiring, reshaping brain regions. go.ucsd.edu/4keH5hD
Come hang with us in Ventura!
Thrilled to be participating as a mentorship panelist with @CGrienberger, @takaki_komiyama, @BJunDing, for the GRS/GRC @GordonConfmeeting on Dendritic Mechanisms inNeuronal, Circuit, and Systems Computations. Hoping to see a lot of my retina friends there!

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/sc…
This YouTube video is a brilliant digest of our recent Science paper. Thank you!
Turns out apical and basal dendrites learn differently! In the newest video i explore an amazing recent paper by William Wright, @Nathan_the_Gray and @takaki_komiyama on different plasticity rules in dendritic compartments 🧠: youtu.be/9StHNcGs-JM?si…
In June 2001, I arrived in SFO with a suitcase, a student visa, and disproportionate dreams. My life since has been nothing but a dream. My heart is with the international students in the US today.
Our new paper is out in Nature today. Congrats to Assaf, Felix, Marcus, and all the authors!
Thrilled to share my postdoc work from @takaki_komiyama lab, showing how motor learning reshapes thalamic influence on motor cortex to enable learned movements. Hats off to our collaborators and co-authors for their incredible contributions! nature.com/articles/s4158…
A very thoughtful Perspective on our recent paper by Ayelén Groisman and Johannes Letzkus. Thank you! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Today in @ScienceMagazine: How do we learn new things? Using cutting-edge visualization techniques, researchers revealed how changes across our synapses and neurons unfold. The findings offer insights for neurological disorders and brain-like AI systems. go.ucsd.edu/4cGnUur
Our new paper is out in Science. What is the synaptic plasticity rule in the brain, we asked. It turns out there are multiple, even within individual neurons. Congrats Jake! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Applications are now open for the Shenoy Undergraduate Research Fellowship in Neuroscience (SURFiN) program for the 2025–26 academic year. The SURFiN program aims to spark and sustain interest in neuroscience among undergraduate students who have not had access to research…
How do different cortical neuron types contribute to circuit dysfunction in #Huntington’s disease? Check out our new collaborative study with @takaki_komiyama, now out as a preprint. A tour de force by @S_Blumenstock. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
New paper led by @S_Blumenstock shows that targeted stimulation of a subtype of cortical inhibitory neurons can ameliorate motor deficits in Huntington’s disease mice. A great collab with @IrinaDudanova biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Is this arrogance? It is right?? MIT’s reference letter upload cite.
