🇮🇳 Postdoc @Fadoklab, Tulane University, New Orleans 🇺🇸. Study fear memory, anxiety, and PTSD in mice 🐭 ([email protected])
1/7 I’m thrilled to publish in @Nature today. We, at @The_Fadoktor with @jgtasker and @jones_g_parker , studied a novel pathway from the Dorsal Peduncular (DP), of mPFC, to the Central Amygdala (CeA), modulating defensive responses in mice. nature.com/articles/s4158…
⚡️🧠A nociceptive amygdala-striatal pathway modulating affective-motivational pain Now published on the cover of @ScienceAdvances !!! Improved with projection-specific, pain-active intersectional chemogenetic pain behavior Check it out 👇 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
⚡️🧠Thrilled to share our new preprint on pain-related valence cell-types + circuits — A nociceptive amygdala-striatal pathway for chronic pain aversion Check out the stellar work of Jessica Wojick, in a co-senior collab with @KorbLab biorxiv.org/content/10.110… THREAD 1/13
Everyone, please comment on the importance of animals in biomedical research!! fda.gov/news-events/fd…
Important read!
While I’m a big fan of new technologies that help us study human biology…there’s still no replacement for animal research! I wrote an article outlining this in @GENbio genengnews.com/topics/transla…
Excited and thankful to have received funding from @RCSA1 for a collaborative proposal with @Kurt_Fraser and @Nicole__Ferrara! Can we change the valence of memories? Let's see! #scialog #Tulane @TulaneBrain
RCSA, the Frederick Gardner Cottrell Foundation, and the Walder Foundation have made awards to 14 early career scientists in the final year of the #Scialog: Molecular Basis of Cognition initiative. bit.ly/3Pyjn2c
BREAKING NEWS The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.
Really glad to have this work identifying the key role of PV-neurons in the ventral hippocampus in gating the anxiolytic actions of the serotonergic psychedelic, DOI, out in @NeuroCellPress @TIFRScience sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Very excited to write this Hot topic piece for @npp_journal with @The_Fadoktor nature.com/articles/s4138…
