"I’ve recommended Stellate to hundreds of colleagues... If you're running a lab, organizing a conference, or just looking to make your science shine — Stellate is the move. It’s like having a tech-savvy lab member who knows everything that you don't." - @okaysteve.bsky.social

What’s better than a one-channel #Miniscope? 🥁 A TWO-CHANNEL Miniscope!

Our new Miniscope2C is a dual-channel, open-source Miniscope that lets you record 2 fluorescent signals simultaneously in freely moving animals.

A State-Dependent Drift Diffusion Model Reveals Mice Actively Explore A Speed–Accuracy Continuum During Decision-Making Understanding how animals shift between different decision-making strategies is critical for bridging normative models with naturalistic behavior. While drift diffusion models (DDMs) provide a powerfu...

🚨PREPRINT ALERT🚨

"A State–Dependent Drift Diffusion Model Reveals Mice Actively Explore A Speed–Accuracy Continuum During Decision-Making" is now available on biorxiv! Check it out below 👇

In this work we find that mice are not just static mindless decision makers.

I called my senators about the NIH and NSF cuts this morning (made easy with @5calls.org)! I'll be calling every day this week and encouraging friends & family to do the same

Check out our latest! Studies led by the amazing Megan Brickner - she finds really interesting patterns of dopamine signaling in the basolateral amygdala that report the emotional salience of sensory state transitions. These are largely non-associative, value-free signals, in contrast to classic DA.

Hippocampal ensembles regulate circuit-induced relapse of extinguished fear Molecular Psychiatry - Hippocampal ensembles regulate circuit-induced relapse of extinguished fear

🚨New paper alert! 🚨 Inactivation of the nucleus reuniens causes relapse of extinguished fear. Here we show this “circuit-induced relapse” depends on hippocampal fear memories and is mediated by hippocampal engrams. Congrats to the team!

📆 Mark your calendars: #OptoGRC2026 is headed back to Tuscany, May 10-15, 2026!

We look forward to reuniting with our amazing community for a week of great science, thoughtful discussions & shared time with colleagues.

More details coming soon👇🏽

I'm delighted to be in Verona for this year's Spring Hippocampal Research Conference. So many inspiring talks and exciting #Neuroscience research being done! I have some pretty cool colleagues 🧠 #Neuroskyence

Systems consolidation reorganizes hippocampal engram circuitry Nature - A study shows that loss of memory precision associated with systems consolidation can be explained by neurogenesis-dependent reorganization of engram circuitry within the hippocampus over...

Sharing a new paper from the lab. This paper, led by Sangyoon Ko, represents a merging of two longstanding research themes in the lab-- adult neurogenesis and systems consolidation.

New paper out! Huge thanks as always to my mentor @drchristineannd.bsky.social and the rest of the team!

My lab has several postdoctoral fellow and software engineering positions available. Please email me if you’re interested.

Super excited to share my PhD work, out now in @Nature. Here, my fantastic coauthors and I delved into whether mice could form memories of temperature experiences. 🐭💭❄️

our "untangling the mind" tour has begun! #NationalGeographic

come explore the foundations of thoughts, emotions, and memories - all the things that make you, you - through the lens of modern neuroscience 🧠

by learning and working together, we have the power to make an era of discovery flourish🔬

in our new lab work, we find that:

natural forgetting & induced amnesia share common impaired neural dynamics

this work was funded by multiple #NIH grants that supported students, postdocs, & the science, all with the goal of healing disorders of memory & the brain

Science can transcend all that divides us by discovering truths that help, heal, and unite 🦾
