Daniel Aharoni is assistant professor of neurology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). He received his Ph.D. in physics from UCLA, where he worked in high- and low-energy particle physics before shifting his focus to neurophysics. Aharoni stayed at UCLA for a postdoctoral fellowship under Baljit Khakh, Alcino Silva and Peyman Golshani, spearheading the technical development of the open-source UCLA Miniscope Project. Aharoni’s lab integrates engineering, neuroscience and physics to create innovative tools that address complex challenges in neuroscience. His research aims to enhance our understanding of neural circuits, advance tool design for neuroscience, and ensure equitable access to pioneering technologies.

Cerebellum responds to language like cortical areas
One of four language-responsive cerebellar regions may encode meaningful information, much like the cortical language network in the left hemisphere, according to a new study.

Neuro’s ark: Understanding fast foraging with star-nosed moles
“MacArthur genius” Kenneth Catania outlined the physiology behind the moles’ stellar foraging skills two decades ago. Next, he wants to better characterize their food-seeking behavior.
