My Own Lab at Westlake University is OPEN! We are recruiting cool people at all levels NOW!
By tinkering behaviors and neural circuits in distinct animal species (mouse, sugar glider, etc), we are exploring new ways of doing social neuroscience in vivo, in silico and at home!
(1/3) Excited to introduce our new GRAB sensors for a series of steroid hormones! These tools enable real-time detection of steroid hormone dynamics in vivo🐭🧠.Happy to share these sensors and welcome any feedback!Please contact yulonglilab2018@gmail.com for information.
🎉 Excited to share that my PhD work is now published in Nature!
We used embryonic development to implant ultrasoft electronics into the brain—enabling non-invasive, stable, high-res neural recording throughout development.

1\ 🧠How do dynamic processes shape behavior in a changing world? Join our #cosyne2025 workshop, The Dynamic Brain: Modeling Time-Varying Computations Underlying Natural and Innate Behaviors! Co-organized with @neuronair@BaselessPursuit@scott_linderman and David Anderson
Some scientists in the United States have told Nature that they are considering leaving the country in the wake of widespread disruption to research brought in by the Trump administration
Are you thinking about leaving?

I'm really excited to introduce our new paper @DulacLab on the neurobiological original of "sociality" (the need of being together), recently published in Nature (see detailed digest below).

Thank all the collaborators and lab members for their contribution and superb teamwork:
@naoshigeuchida, @ Mitsuko Watabe-Uchida, @ Ryunosuke Amo, @ Iku Tsutsui-Kimura, @ David Ginty,
@SSebastianChoi, @IshmailSaboor.
663 days since the senseless tragedy that took An, we present a manuscript that reports some of the discoveries that she left us.

It’s time to work WITH memory!
New work from our lab is out: Extra temporary subspace is necessary for information exchange or asynchronous programming.

Beyond grateful to share two co-first author papers that came out in @Nature!! With @AmitVinograd, we provide causal evidence for a line attractor in the mammalian brain! And with @MengyuLiu96, we show that line attractors might be a common mechanism for emotions beyond anger!
Our new paper is out today in @Nature , showing that bumblebees possess the cognitive capacity for some of the key ingredients of cumulative culture, previously though to be unique to humans
