Happy to contribute to this work!
Excited to share our detailed RNAscope mapping of oxytocin receptor in vole brain, relation to DA receptors, SNPs & mRNA-protein mismatch. Evidence of presynaptic function! Great teamwork by Kiyoshi Inoue, @Charles53738010 & @KengoHorie! doi.org/10.1002/cne.25…
Helping Behavior in Prairie Voles: A Model of Empathy and the Importance of Oxytocin is officially out in @iScience_CP. Congrats collaborators! Wildtype prairie voles learn helping distressed partners and oxytocin receptor knockout voles learn less. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Helping Behavior in Prairie Voles: A Model of Empathy and the Importance of Oxytocin. CRISPR Oxtr KO voles were used. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
SNAP25 in taste cells serves dual roles — maintaining sour taste cells and transmitting sour signals. Check out our new paper published in @JPhysiol. physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
✨New paper from my lab out now in @CellCellPress ! We identified pathways for airway protective reflexes—swallowing and coughing—in mice, driven by rare throat chemosensory cells that signal vagal nerves via channel synapses. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
Please check out our latest work! It has been a rough year with the passing of Dr. Larry Young. However, I will never forget his kindness and excitement for science. Neural connectivity of oxytocin receptor-expressing neurons in the nuc... sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Our latest study on the role of oxytocin receptors in prairie voles is now published! We are deeply grateful to Larry, whose encouragement and vision allowed us to pursue this work. His legacy continues to guide and motivate us. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

It is with an unbelievably heavy heart that I write that my husband, best friend, and partner in crime for 20 years, Larry Young, passed away unexpectedly. I will share details regarding a memorial service once I know something. Please share with those who knew Larry @lyoun03

A new CRISPR knock-in vole is out!
CRISPR Oxtr-Cre voles created by @KengoHorie & in collab w/ K. Nishimori!! Kengo labeled Oxtr cells projecting to NAc as a proof of principle. Intersectional Oxtr circuit manips (opto-, chemogenetics) & behavior in voles will follow. authors.elsevier.com/a/1bxBy15hTtkr…
BREAKING NEWS: The 2020 #NobelPrize in Chemistry has been awarded to Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna “for the development of a method for genome editing.”
More exciting papers related to this soon! This is a preview. Prairie voles are now genetically tractable enabling circuit dissection.
