Thrilled to share @ScienceMagazine piece, a 10 yr obsession: developing brains get signals from the environment that shape emotional circuit maturation & impact mental health. What signals? which ones are 'bad'? how do they influence circuit refinement? science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Re-upping this, please Retweet my #AcademicTwitter friends! We got the grant, there's a bunch of work to be done, happy to hire ASAP if the timing is right - or, towards the end of the year, all good!
Post Doc Wanted! Official call! Come to sunny San Diego @PsychiatryUcsd Work on our newly funded R01: Impact of cannabinoids on HIV transgenic rats using cross-species translational operant behaviors. Fiber photometry experience a bonus, Diverse applications encouraged! Pls RT
Behavior shouldn’t be an afterthought in neuroscience. Had a good time writing this opinion piece with @alewis1982 & @TheErinCalipari. We highlight common design pitfalls & argue for standardization to help push the field forward. Read more: eneuro.org/content/8/2/EN…

In a new study by @ContetLab, researchers have discovered that an experimental, clinical-stage antidepressant drug can also reverse excessive alcohol intake in animal models of alcohol use disorder scripps.edu/news-and-event… @npp_journal
Thrilled to share the preprint of our investigation of parasubthalamic neurons in the control of feeding initiation - led with brio by Jeff Dunning!

We are looking for a new postdoc. Join our team to study the neurobiology of alcohol addiction and grow your skills in a dynamic and supportive environment! neurojobs.sfn.org/job/35745/post… Please retweet
Amazing study. And great results about the understudied parasubthalamic nucleus (PSTN)
Now online! An inter-organ neural circuit for appetite suppression! #ScienceTwitter #neuroscience bit.ly/3GGBAWm
Happy to share our final published @eLife article characterizing the role of the parasubthalamic nucleus (PSTN) in food intake! Work from 10 @WilliamsCollege students including @GraceKromm and @OliviaBarnhill1. And @michael_krashes too! elifesciences.org/articles/75470
We are recruiting! Interested in glia-to-neuron reprogramming as novel cell-based strategy for brain repair? We are looking for a talented postdoc to join our team and decipher the molecular mechanisms underlying lineage reprogramming👇 PleaseRT!
Wednesday is almost over at #WCBR2022 but don’t forget to plan for tomorrow 🤩 I’ll be speaking (again) at 8:30am tomorrow at this fantastic panel! Hope to see you there!
We are so excited to announce that our #AddictionBiology paper "Sex-specific plasticity in CRF regulation of inhibitory control in central amygdala CRF1 neurons after chronic voluntary alcohol drinking" is now online! #IA2BC #SABV #CRF #CeA onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author/I…
Also - data from here if you want to look across the other regions we have profiled in human brain: github.com/LieberInstitut…
To all amygdala aficionados out there: what do we know about central amygdala Camk2a+ cells? Camk2a is considered a marker of excitatory cells yet CeA neurons are all inhibitory... Any clue would be great!
So excited that our RNA-Seq paper is online today in Translational Psychiatry! This was a major group effort and I am so proud of the work. @PsychiatryUic @CareUic nature.com/articles/s4139…
Come check out our poster&panel on neural circuits of opioid adddiction this PM @ACNPorg! @Mitch__Farrell poster T170 today! And a panel on ‘hardship, hard drugs and soft circuits’ this PM with @z_baram @sc_levis @drrajitastress & @houseofmind!! #ACNP2020
