This claustrum neuron dendrite is so fat it looks like a mf cheeto (3 microns)

📢Hot off the press! Excited to share our new paper in @molpsychiatry on the role of ERβ in stress vulnerability. Thanks to all of the authors involved @pzanos @BrianMathur1 @KirmizisLab @Michael_Patton1 nature.com/articles/s4138… A thread🧵

Open technician position in my lab! This is a highly supportive and educational work environment. Please rt / apply! umb.taleo.net/careersection/…

🧠🍄 Psilocybin, the hallucinogenic compound in magic mushrooms, temporarily resets entire networks of neurons responsible for controlling a person’s sense of time and self, finds a new study. For @Nature w @realJoshSiegel @shansiddiqi @BrianMathur1 nature.com/articles/d4158…

check out this commentary on TWO new papers on claustrum and pain @CurrentBiology by Zizhen Zhang & Gerald Zamponi Chronic pain: Central role of the claustrum in pain processing cell.com/current-biolog…

now in @CurrentBiology 🧵 Pathological claustrum activity drives aberrant cognitive network processing in human chronic pain led by Brent Stewart (who's on the postdoc job market!) w/ @BrianMathur1 @fMRIstats @CormieMatthew @massihmoayedi @smarge_pt + sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We are hiring a postdoc! Check out our work and the group at thejuarezlab.com. 🧠🐭✂️🧬🔬

🚨🚨 To prospective PhD Students (or their mentors): @UMMedNeuro's PhD Program is having a virtual open house on Nov 8th at 5PM EST. This is an opportunity to learn about the program, application process, student life, and meet UMB researchers doing cutting-edge science! 🧠🧬🐁🔬

We are thrilled to announce the post-Covid reboot of the Society for Claustrum Research Annual Meeting. Come hear a great line-up of speakers and share your poster! Please retweet! Registration details here: tinyurl.com/SFClaustrum

Literally the only good thing about this name change is that it has put this in my head youtu.be/zvgGNaTH7ds

Endocannabinoids are powerful synaptic modulators, but there's so much we don't know about how they signal. Here we show that *postsynaptic synucleins* are required! Shoutout @YueSunNeuro, @yulonglilab, @SudhofThomas, @BJunDing and the rest of the team! nature.com/articles/s4159…

The Caras Lab wants to hire a lab technician to work on our NIH funded project on the neural circuits that support auditory perception, plasticity, and learning! Ideal for someone looking to gain research experience before grad school. See caraslab.org for details!

Excited to have a new paper out today from data that contributed to Kara’s thesis project in Mathur lab! Thanks @kkc_bbq and @BrianMathur1 for letting me join team thalamus! #teamthalamusforever 🧠🧠🧠 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37022333/

Congrats Diana! Well deserved 👏

Fresh from the oven! Our recent article on the European Journal of Neuroscience, @EJNeuroscience. We showed that alcohol exposure during a period similar to the last months of the gestation stunts the development of multisensory integration.

Our new case series on menstrual changes associated w/ psychedelic use is out, including a case of inducing menses in someone with amenorrhea. First literature on this since the 1950s. Interesting psychoneuroendocrine and sex difference q’s to be explored tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Delighted to end 2022 with our first paper out today in @CellReports, and our image on the cover! Huge congratulations to first author Ashwini Hariharan!! We show #brain #pericytes increase blood flow to decreased local energy availability to preserve energy supply to #neurons.

For some reason I feel obligated to retweet this. Happy holidays all...

My main thesis project just got published!! I recorded 1,000+ claustrum neurons using whole cell patch clamp and found that the claustrum synaptically supports fMRI defined fronto-posterior cortical networks cell.com/cell-reports/f…
