Johnatan Yonatan Aljadeff
Regular biography
Johnatan (Yonatan) Aljadeff is an Assistant Professor in the Department of BIO at the University of California, San Diego. His research focuses on theoretical neuroscience, specifically the neuronal and synaptic basis of learning, and how network dynamics relate to function. His work explores how representations of the external world are formed and maintained, the role of synaptic plasticity in learning, and how brain areas infer environmental information despite contextual and stochastic variability. Aljadeff's research integrates methods from physics and mathematics, including dynamical systems and information theory, and emphasizes collaboration with experimentalists across diverse animal models. His research is supported by publications in leading journals such as Nature, Neuron, and Physical Review X.
