Happy to share our latest study from the @BJunDing lab recently published in @NeuroCellPress! We show that motor learning selectively induces synaptic plasticity at inputs and outputs of behavior-relevant neurons in motor cortex. cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S08…

Proud to be on Team Dual Role of Neural Activity with @NelsonLabUCSF @KhaliqLab, Robert Edwards, Ken Nakamura, Chris Ford, and Glenda Halliday
Excited to announce that 14 new teams will be joining the ASAP Collab Research Network (#ASAP_CRN) with a focus on #circuitry and brain-body interactions connected to #Parkinson's. Meet the #ASAPGrantees! parkinsonsroadmap.org/resear…

Amazing initiative! We're thrilled to be #ASAPGrantees working with Team Edwards (Rob Edwards, @KiraPoskanzer, @NelsonLabUCSF, Ken Nakamura, Chris Ford, Glenda Halliday) to study the Role of Neural Activity in the onset and early progression of #Parkinsons. Fantastic opportunity!

Our group kiraposkanzerlab.org/ is hiring at the postdoc, staff scientist, and technician levels to study physiology of astrocytes and neurons. We want to hear from people with a wide variety of backgrounds and expertise, including those who haven’t studied glia before. 1/2
