Can synapses in the brain switch their signs between excitatory and inhibitory during learning🚦? Can they act more like weights in artificial neural networks, able to switch signs based on experience 🔃? Excited to share my thesis work in @blsabatini lab! 🧵 ⬇️ (1/13)

It’s been a rewarding journey studying sleep as a postdoc, and I’m now exploring faculty positions in neuroscience. My latest work uncovers a neural circuit mechanism for homeostatic sleep. Open to opportunities and always happy to chat! 🔗 linkedin.com/in/sang-soo-le…
