Looking forward to this!
Very happy to share our new preprint (with Alex Pan-Vazquez) about how dopamine generates representations of value in the striatum!
Research in our lab will bring together tools and perspectives — from systems and computational neuroscience, physiology, genomics, and biochemistry — to study how animals learn from feedback from the gut (and other organ systems). I will be recruiting lab members at all levels!
This is a great opportunity for aspiring neuroscientists! Recent RAs in the Witten lab have gone on to fantastic PhD programs (Pitt, Penn, Colorado, Princeton, Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon).
I’m very excited to share that I will join the University of Utah Department of Neurobiology as an Assistant Professor in Jan 2026!! 🎉🏔️🏜️
My lab will focus on body–brain interactions in learning & memory — how do signals from our internal organs remodel the brain & behavior?
