1st 3 PhD yrs w @kei_m_igarashi lab, learning from Shogo+Tom and grinding w @jun_heechul , my first publication is out in @Nature . Using invivo ephys, optogenetics, tracing, behavior and more we found dopamine’s role in LEC fan cells/memory formation.

After getting swiped last minute on the first attempt for *not having candidacy yet*, I have convinced the NIA to throw some bucks at our project on AD memory circuit dysfunction. #F31 #NRSA

In which we talk the current trend of abstract cognitive map-like neuronal activity being uncovered in hippocampus, PFC, and recently from our lab, the LEC.

And here it is. Been an honor teaming up with @jun_heechul to carry on the efforts of Drs. Soma and Nakazono in the Igarashi lab, and finally getting it out to the world

For this very special #SfN2021 I’m presenting the recently published work on dopamine and fan cells supporting associative memory in the LEC. My session is Cortical Networks I on Tuesday, 8:45am PDT. See you there!

Bit late as I just joined Sci-Twitter, but my PhD lab’s first publication is out. We claim the first major study of entorhinal-hippocampal dynamics in Alzheimer’s model mice. Epic work by the homie @jun_heechul (And hey, my name’s in science finally... acknowledgements lol)

Our new paper is out in Neuron @NeuroCellPress We found that "remapping" of hippocampus place cells is disrupted in Alzheimer's disease model, suggesting a circuit mechanism causing spatial memory impairment in AD. 3yr-work by Heechul Jun @jun_heechul !

Last week, NYT published a major story that suggested falsely that police prevent murder and that one reason for increased murders during a global pandemic was civil rights criticism of police! The NYT did not disclose that the reporter was former CIA/Palantir/police/DA paid.
