Today was the final day of my three-month stay in Paul and Sheena’s lab.

It was short, but filled with unforgettable moments. I love the lab, the people, and this city.

I can’t put into words how grateful I am for everything. Thank you so much, @franklandlab.bsky.social and @sjo09.bsky.social

New paper from the lab 🚨
Led by Ali Golbabaei, this study explores the how the composition of prefrontal cortical engrams changes with memory age:

Excited to share our new preprint:
Blockade of associative spine enlargement impairs awake cortical function

Excited to announce that I'll be moving to the Univ of California Irvine @ucirvine.bsky.social next Spring!🌴

Happily, this is not goodbye to Japan as I'll continue my lab @RIKEN_CBS for some time.

Help spread the word: the new UCI lab will be hiring, DM or email ([email protected]) if interested!

Arrived in Toronto!!

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.

I’m excited to share my first review! I explore diverse synaptic mechanisms underlying episodic memory, with a special focus on an optogenetic tool for canceling LTP induction, established by my wonderful mentors. I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
