Beyond Lab Walls | Salk InstituteAksinya Derevyanko talks creative ties between dance and neuroscienceAksinya Derevyanko is a postdoctoral researcher in Professor Nicola Allen's lab at Salk. For Derevyanko, recounting her journey from Russia to Spain to San Diego isn't just a practice in storytelling—it's an exercise in what she studies: memory. She watches the connections between our brain cells, called synapses, form, mature, and fail throughout our lifetimes and in diseases like Alzheimer's. Outside the lab? She tests her own synaptic strength by memorizing steps as a semiprofessional dancer.
