Functional Compartmentalization of Dendritic Voltage Dynamics During Spatial Learning
My work investigates how dendrites organize memory-related information within individual hippocampal neurons. Using in vivo voltage imaging in behaving mice, I show that dendritic compartments do not simply…
Read MoreToward using large-scale, cross-brain neuronal recordings to identify the brain’s internal signals
Neuroscience studies often link neural signals to external referents such as sensory stimuli or overt motor acts.Simultaneous recordings across neurons and brain regions open the possibility of examining…

Read MoreDeciphering Human-Specific Mechanisms of Cortical Development
The human cerebral cortex has undergone rapid expansion and increased complexity during recent human lineage evolution. One striking feature of human corticogenesis is that it is highly protracted…
Read MoreThe Neural Genesis of Reward Timing and a Theory on Intertemporal Decision Making
A central function of the brain is the ability to predict the timing of future events of behavioral importance based on past experience. By relating predictive neural activity…
