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.
The order provides a potential path to remove some psychedelic drugs from the strictest regulatory category, yet it “may not be the breakthrough the basic research community has been looking for,” says neuroscientist Shawn Lockery.

Face patch cells in macaque monkeys initially respond to images of any object but rapidly transition to attend to faces exclusively, a new study finds.

De la Prida's work analyzing the varieties of sharp wave ripples in the hippocampus led to her discovery that specific types of neurons control the properties of neural manifolds.
