An incredible force of nature in our lab Lindsay Karaba and the best interneuron hunter Heath Robinson, PhD, along with collaborators, amazing Ryan Harvey and Weiwei Chen, made some cool findings: during sleep, our brain consolidates but aso reset memories. AntonioFR science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

I’m thrilled to share our paper published online today in Science Magazine ! I appreciate my mentor, Dr.Fujisawa, for running through this project with me. We discovered the new type of grid cells that have grid field for future projected locations. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Where in the brain is abstract map generated? It is the lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC) and the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), working together!! Here is our new finding published in nature Prefrontal and lateral entorhinal neurons co-dependently learn item–outcome rules

I'm excited to announce a new paper published by my post-doctoral fellow, Dr. Jennifer Robinson Jennifer Robinson: Optogenetic silencing of medial septal GABAergic neurons disrupts grid cell spatial and temporal coding in the medi… pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39163200/

Please share! The applications are open for this year's BRITE postdoctoral seminar series! We are excited to host three postdoctoral researchers to present their work with us here at SBU.

Highly recommend applying! I got to be a BRITE speaker last year and it was a wonderful experience.
