Identifying the neural basis of innate social behaviors using molecular and genetic tools @Harvard @HHMINEWS and at DulacLab at mstdn dot science
I am thrilled to share new work from the lab led by @harris_kaplan investigating the emergence of hypothalamic cell types involved in social behavior and homeostatic control. 1/9 Sensory Input, Sex, and Function Shape Hypothalamic Cell Type Development biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
1/ This is the next chapter of a story about courageous patients and their families, of multidisciplinary teamwork, and hard-fought steps forward to effective therapy for #DIPG #DMG, a universally lethal cancer of the brain and spinal cord. 🧵nature.com/articles/s4158…
Big congrats to postdocs Drs. @MMostafizur_R and @seo_changwoo from the @DulacLab at @MCB_Harvard! 🧠 They were awarded prestigious grants from the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation and @NIH, respectively, to support cutting-edge work in #neuroscience: bit.ly/4lkjXj8
Excellent article par @beauantoine de @lexpress sur les circuits du cerveau regissant le besoin d’interactions sociales. Excellent article by @beauantoine on brain circuits of sociality. Please note: I am very rarely on this site and now spend more time where the sky is blue!…
🧠 Des scientifiques ont découvert des neurones semblables à ceux qui régulent la faim ou la soif et qui poussent les souris en manque de relations à sociabiliser 👇 Notre entretien avec @DulacLab, à l’origine de cette avancée, par @beauantoine l.lexpress.fr/kOL

Beyond excited to share my big @StJude news! We’re going to build an amazing hub for imaging technology development and deployment - driven by St Jude’s mission to transform the way the world understands and treats pediatric catastrophic diseases. Imaging innovators come join us!
St. Jude welcomes @HillmanLab as the founding chair of the new Department of Imaging Sciences. Her team will develop innovative tools to accelerate discovery and improve patient care. ow.ly/GZQG50UL653

Potentially also amazing: if you accelerate a sub goal to map the lower 🧠 (smaller volume but same cell type diversity per Allen atlas), I predict you can start moving needle on #chronicillness over next 4 years. As we know from @DulacLab & others, illness rears its ugly head in…

There’s a great paper from @dulaclab that finds that lonely mice are comforted by the soft touch of a conspecific. But the brain heuristic for that seems to be really just “soft touch”. Squeezing through a cloth-lined tunnel triggers the same system! :) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
