If you are a student or postdoc, we encourage you to also apply to the associated Parkinson's Gordon Seminar (GRS). Held the day before the conference, the GRS helps trainees learn more about the field and network to gear up for the main meeting.grc.org/parkinson-s-di…
We are excited to announce the 2025 Parkinson's Gordon Conference, which will be held in June 2025 in New Hampshire! Our speakers will touch on pathogenesis and pathophysiology, at cellular/molecular and circuit levels. We hope to see you there! grc.org/parkinson-s-di…
ASAP Team Edwards gathered at UC San Francisco to share our science and plan the next steps for our team! @KhaliqLab @LernerLab @ASAP_Research
UCSF is hiring new Neuroscience faculty! If you study addiction, neuromodulation, or related brain circuitry, we'd love to see your application for this position: aprecruit.ucsf.edu/JPF04147
Join us for the 2023 Parkinson's GRC! Our program of amazing speakers from all over the world is now posted, and we encourage scientists interested in the basal ganglia and Parkinson's disease to apply: grc.org/parkinson-s-di…
Congratulations to Selin, Kevin, and Jennifer on their exciting new preprint on how antipsychotic medications might work!
Proud to be working with @MaluTansey organizing the 2023 Parkinson's GRC in Switzerland! Excited to have many junior scientists join us, share their amazing work, and network. Sign up soon and submit an abstract!

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. cell.com/neuron/fulltex…
Excited for this project to be published, thanks to Anatol, our collaborator Louis Ptacek, and Nelson Lab alumna Ally Girasole!
