Great Bita
I am deeply grateful to the Bloomberg Endowment for supporting both our research and broader vision! We hope that our work will contribute to next generation of psychiatry treatments, bci, and ai development.
back at revising this beast on astrocytes and learning....
happy 2 see Dr Okihide Hikosaka elected to NAS
Okihide has done an amazing amount of true discovery
Think big contributions to understanding of mechanisms of saccadic control, chunking and skill formation, reinforcement learning, and more!
Also a great mentor and friend.

This has had clear implications for ML and neuroscience (albeit from different angles), and we continue this work in both disciplines….
How do non-neuronal CNS cells called astrocytes contribute to cognition & computation?
See our preprint
Headed by my students Julia Pai and Fatih Sogukpinar, also working with Hiratani, Pignatelli, Papouin, Frank, and Ching labs. This was a huge effort

! New paper from the lab !
How does novelty impact value-based decision making ?
What are the circuits and what mechanisms do they implement?
Congratulations to Dr. Takaya Ogasawara and team
