Postdoctoral researcher
University of California, Los Angeles
Michael Ryan is a postdoctoral researcher in Anne Churchland’s lab at the University of California, Los Angeles. His postdoctoral work uses computational modeling, behavior, and large-scale neural recordings to understand how decision-making changes across the lifespan.
Ryan completed his Ph.D. in 2020 in Alexandra Nelson’s lab at the University of California, San Francisco, where he studied how movements are altered in age-related neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease.
Many well-known perimenopause symptoms arise in the brain, but we still know little about the specific mechanisms at play. More research—in both animals and humans—is essential.

More than 50 scientists came together to identify the key missing data needed to rigorously test theoretical models.

In his new book, published today, philosopher Walter Glannon examines the ethics of six areas of neuroscience. In Chapter 4, a portion of which appears below, he tackles the ethical considerations of using brain organoids in research.
