My Own Lab at Westlake University is OPEN! We are recruiting cool people at all levels NOW! By tinkering behaviors and neural circuits in distinct animal species (mouse, sugar glider, etc), we are exploring new ways of doing social neuroscience in vivo, in silico and at home!

(1/3) Excited to introduce our new GRAB sensors for a series of steroid hormones! These tools enable real-time detection of steroid hormone dynamics in vivo🐭🧠.Happy to share these sensors and welcome any feedback!Please contact [email protected] for information.

🎉 Excited to share that my PhD work is now published in Nature! We used embryonic development to implant ultrasoft electronics into the brain—enabling non-invasive, stable, high-res neural recording throughout development. 📄 nature.com/articles/s41586-0… (Fig. 1-4 posted here)

1/ Doing bioinformatics is not just crunching numbers. It’s running experiments—just like a wet lab scientist does. But with code.

Some scientists in the United States have told Nature that they are considering leaving the country in the wake of widespread disruption to research brought in by the Trump administration Are you thinking about leaving? go.nature.com/41sQ470

I'm really excited to introduce our new paper @DulacLab on the neurobiological original of "sociality" (the need of being together), recently published in Nature (see detailed digest below). nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

It’s time to work WITH memory! New work from our lab is out: Extra temporary subspace is necessary for information exchange or asynchronous programming. Mental programming of spatial sequences in working memory in the macaque frontal cortex | Science science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Beyond grateful to share two co-first author papers that came out in @Nature!! With @AmitVinograd, we provide causal evidence for a line attractor in the mammalian brain! And with @MengyuLiu96, we show that line attractors might be a common mechanism for emotions beyond anger!
