My perspective in @_TheTransmitter on why emotion research feels stuck and how we might move forward—by focusing on how the brain uses internal brain models to shape emotional processing across species. https://t.co/OFgPl39OPj

New paper from @YKNeuroRes in our lab 📢
We show body size predicts defensive behavioral strategy; smaller animals adopt active avoidance, larger ones favor freezing, while sex and age don’t drive the effect. A clear demonstration that traits matter.

EE4 - A functional input-output organization in the amygdala for emotional learning and memory

[Joshua P Johansen @JoJoLab5]

I’m excited to share a new paper from the lab. The study led by Xiaowei Gu reveals how the mPFC encodes complex emotional memories, using an internal model to infer emotional associations and memories via projections to the amygdala

Attending #SfN24 as a JNS-SfN travel award awardee to present my poster!

Title: “A neural circuit targeting technique for investigating functional input-output organization in the nervous system”

10/9(Wed) 8:00-12:00 (CDT)
Optogenetic Tools session
Board no. X35

[Yusuke Kasuga @YKNeuroRes]

We developed new tools to target input and output projection-defined populations in neural circuits. If you’re curious what we found please stop by!

We’re also happy to share our new tools (virus/plasmids) so please reach me if you’re interested in using these tools!

@HansolLim1 @NatureComms @MPIforBI @cpetersperez @JohannaLuiseM Congratulations🎉 Can’t wait to read it!

[Yusuke Kasuga @YKNeuroRes]

Very excited to give a talk about my project in @OptoGRC associated GRS this weekend! I will talk and present a poster about our investigation of the functional input-output organization in the amygdala.

Talk: 5.30-5.45pm (GMT+2), Sat July 20

@SuppAnya @Nature @realRihellab @uclcdb This is really amazing!! Congratulations Anya!

[Yusuke Kasuga @YKNeuroRes]

@xuzhang95 Congrats Dr Xu!

[Yusuke Kasuga @YKNeuroRes]

I especially appreciate @Kurt_Fraser and @ayesha_sengupta for great leadership and organizing this amazing GRS event! (Apologies for late acknowledgement🙇🏻) This conference will become a milestone in my career. 🪨👨🏻‍🔬

[Yusuke Kasuga @YKNeuroRes]

Gave a talk in GRS at #GRCAmygdala #AmygdalaGRC. All the questions, comments and advices were so valuable for me. Thanks a lot organizers and attendees for giving me such great opportunity!🧠

[Yusuke Kasuga @YKNeuroRes]

@bluemoon_yuichi @avstempel @MpiBrain I’m happy to hear this news! Ganbatte!
