90% of neuroscience papers are one of:
1. it turns out what we thought was generally true was actually just a special case
2. the thing we think is true contains smaller things that we can measure
3. what we thought was true is still true, but now with lasers pew pew

This is why science funding matters.

We uncovered a hidden signaling system in the brain—one that responds to maternal environment, even to drugs like LSD during pregnancy.

It took 5 years, a brilliant team, and public funding to get here.

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.

Shared some of my recent experiences and thoughts with @callimcflurry.bsky.social of @thetransmitter.bsky.social. In these chaotic times, it’s important that there’s an ability for voices to be heard. I’m very thankful to Calli and The Transmitter for the opportunity.

Early-life stress induces persistent astrocyte dysfunction associated with fear generalisation Early-life stress can have lifelong consequences, enhancing stress susceptibility and resulting in behavioural and cognitive deficits. While the effects of early-life stress on neuronal function have ...

Delighted to share an update to our preprint, reviewed at @elife.bsky.social, and now sent back for re-review.
Colossal work by the team and driven home by @mathiasgua.bsky.social
