Associate professor in the Department of Biological Sciences @KAIST. Studying how astrocytes and microglia interact with synapses and vasculatures
South Korea, Daejeon
Joined July 2010
Just out! “The astrocytic ensemble acts as a multiday trace to stabilize memory.” We identified astrocytic ensembles that link experiences across days to stabilize memory https://t.co/po9zIlZvPb. New astrocyte tools are openly available at Addgene: https://t.co/OXCmcYSleI. 1/8
