Postdoc at NYU | Previously grad student at UCSD | Studying entorhinal and hippocampal circuits that support spatial memory.

New York, NY
Replying to @IpshitaZ
I am on the job market this year! My lab will study how the brain creates a internal model of the external world that is flexible and matches fluctuating behavioral goals. Visit my website at ipshitazutshi.com/ for more details (and videos of mice doing cool tasks).

Excited for my visit!
On Friday, January 24, 3 PM, JOIN #MSNseminars when hosts Drs. @jainparul321 & @GiadaDirupo welcome @nyuniversity's Dr. Ipshita Zutshi @IpshitaZ who will present “Hippocampal neuronal activity is aligned with action plans". Learn More about Dr. Zutshi ➡️leonlevyfoundation.org/team-…

It’s an incredible feeling to see something you’ve poured your heart into come to life. I’m so proud of this work, born from my curiosity about hippocampal “cognitive tuning.” Our environment reflects our actions, evolving as we pursue our goals.

None of this work would have been possible without Winnie. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Winnie’s plot, showing hippocampal neural activity on a neural manifold summarizes the core of my paper in a single glance, and is crucial to our message.
Excited to share that our paper is published in @Nature today! This incredible work was led by the amazing @IpshitaZ, one of the most inspiring neuroscientists I met during grad school. She has taught me so much about the pure love for science as well as the strength and resilience needed to navigate its challenges. As a junior PhD student, I was fortunate to learn from her example—her unwavering passion to ask the most important questions in the field, her strength in the face of adversity, and her thoughtfulness as well as warmth left a lasting impact on me. During moments when I felt overwhelmed or the road forward felt hopeless, her strength inspired me to push forward, to try just one more time. Having a role model like her early in my career has been invaluable, and I am deeply grateful to learn from her.

It has been an honor to learn from someone as insightful, determined, and ambitious as her. I will miss our conversations about the hippocampus, but I am looking forward to all the new ones we will have about your new remarkable ventures. Thank you, Winnie!🌟🌟

Julieta is such an amazing scientist and incredible mentor who leads by example. We will miss you so so much, NYU will not be the same without you. NIEHS is very lucky to have you! Can’t wait to see you shine 🌟
I am honored to be joining the @NIH as an Earl Stadtman Tenure-Track Investigator and Distinguished Scholar, starting my independent lab at the @NIEHS. The Neurobehavioral Circuits Group will study the developmental mechanisms for social behaviors and beyond. Positions open!

Excited to share my latest paper with Gyuri (@BrainRhythms)! Hippocampal sharp-wave ripples and their spike assembly content are regulated by the medial entorhinal cortex: Current Biology cell.com/current-biology/ful…

We used my previous dataset that reversibly silenced the medial entorhinal cortex (mEC). During sleep, even unilateral (either contralateral or ipsilateral) silencing led to a huge reduction in SPW-R incidence, and changed which pyramidal cells are recruited during SPW-Rs.

The reduction in SPW-Rs during mEC silencing was similar to that observed during spontaneous cortical DOWN states. These results provide evidence that that mEC acts as a key gatekeeper to regulate the timing and neuronal content of CA1 SPW-Rs with the rest of the cortex.

I had such a wonderful time at U Rochester this week, and have come back home with my head buzzing with all the amazing ideas, and heart full with amount of care shown by everyone. NEURO YES is a fantastic opportunity for postdocs to gain mentors and friends.
Fascinating talk by @IpshitaZ! She is the final speaker in our postdoc seminar series NEURO YES. #URochesterResearch Learn more: neuroyes.urmc.edu
