Excited for this project to be published, thanks to Anatol, our collaborator Louis Ptacek, and Nelson Lab alumna Ally Girasole!

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

We are excited to announce the 2025 Parkinson's Gordon Conference, which will be held in June 2025 in New Hampshire! Our speakers will touch on pathogenesis and pathophysiology, at cellular/molecular and circuit levels. We hope to see you there! grc.org/parkinson-s-di…

If you are a student or postdoc, we encourage you to also apply to the associated Parkinson's Gordon Seminar (GRS). Held the day before the conference, the GRS helps trainees learn more about the field and network to gear up for the main meeting.grc.org/parkinson-s-di…

In this new preprint, Emily Twedell (PhD student) and colleagues identify a functional role for the inhibitory synapses between striatal projection neurons -- shaping striatal ensembles to promote healthy action selection. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
