Neuroscientist/Neurologist at UCSF. Our lab investigates the cellular and circuit mechanisms of motor control, and how they go awry in movement disorders.
Happy to share our latest study from the @BJunDing lab recently published in @NeuroCellPress! We show that motor learning selectively induces synaptic plasticity at inputs and outputs of behavior-relevant neurons in motor cortex.

Amazing initiative! We're thrilled to be #ASAPGrantees working with Team Edwards (Rob Edwards, @KiraPoskanzer, @NelsonLabUCSF, Ken Nakamura, Chris Ford, Glenda Halliday) to study the Role of Neural Activity in the onset and early progression of #Parkinsons. Fantastic opportunity!
Our group kiraposkanzerlab.org/ is hiring at the postdoc, staff scientist, and technician levels to study physiology of astrocytes and neurons. We want to hear from people with a wide variety of backgrounds and expertise, including those who haven’t studied glia before. 1/2
