I love seeing lab members helping each other troubleshoot—especially with the always tricky ephys setups. Great day in the lab today!

Exciting #sfn2024 presentations from the de Guglielmo lab today, 1-5 PM! @m_r_doyle (O25) & Dr. Wood (O24) showcasing our preclinical #GWAS in rat models of alcohol dependence. Behavioral phenotyping hundreds of rats & exploring individual medication responses based on novel…
A new @npp_journal paper just dropped from @giodeguglielmo & team on the impact of CBD on alcohol-related behaviors in 🐀 Check it out below 👇
Excited to share our latest paper in @npp_journal! Chronic CBD mitigates alcohol dependence, reduces withdrawal symptoms, & offers neuroprotection in BLA & striatum in rat AUD models. Congrats to 1st author @neuroselo! Thanks to @cmcr_ucsd funding for the pilot that sparked this.…
Thank you @ACNPorg for another exceptional meeting! Appreciate your family-friendly approach, blending science & quality time seamlessly #ACNP2024

Super excited to have contribute to this study elifesciences.org/articles/90422 on individual differences in addiction vulnerability in genetically diverse rats now on @eLife . If you are interested on samples to expand your research, go here: drugaddictionresearch.org/biobanks
Does Drug Intake Despite Adverse Consequences Really Measure Compulsivity? There’s a big debate in addiction research: is drug use despite adverse consequences (like punishment) a standalone measure of compulsive behavior, or just part of a larger addiction profile? This new…
Gordon Research Conference - Neurobiology of Drug Addiction 🍃🍃🍃 August 18 - 23, 2024
🐀 Please RT 🐀 RATTACA is back at #SfN24 — come see us tomorrow at Booth #1828. RATTACA uses polygenic risk scores to predict behavioral traits in outbred rats. Now you can study genetic predisposition to substance abuse in drug naive rats! Details at ratgenes.org/rattaca
The Center for GWAS in outbred rats (ratgenes.org) has a booth at #SfN22 (#3229). We are offering outbred rats with *genetically predicted* behavioral and physiological phenotypes. It's like selected lines, but we can predict for dozens of traits. What traits? Read on.
Kudos to @MarinaP63 & @SergeAhmed for a fantastic #Addiction_GRC conference! Great talks, inspiring discussions & wonderful company. It really felt like summer camp for scientists. Thanks for having me! #GRC2024

Another great #ACNP2023 meeting. Props to all the folks doing the hard work to make it run as smoothly as it does, and for assembling an outstanding showcase of wonderful science!! @ACNPorg
Congrats to all 🎉
Congrats to our new Associate Members at @ACNPorg #ACNP2023!!! 🎉 Welcome!!
Congratulations to our new Members at @ACNPorg #ACNP2023!! 🎉
Sciencing with family at #ACNP2023

Good morning @SfNtweets neurotweeps! Come hangout if you’re interested in testing samples from the Addiction Biobanks, looking for postdocs/GS positions or chat with folks from the Preclinical Addiction Research Consortium. @PsychiatryUcsd @UCSDSkaggsSOP @giodeguglielmo #SfN2023
Our paper is out today in Nature Neuroscience! Here, we analyzed single-nucleus RNA-seq and ATAC-seq data generated from the amygdalae of outbred rats displaying divergent addiction-like behaviors following protracted abstinence (4wks) from cocaine.
Single-nucleus genomics in outbred rats with divergent cocaine #addiction-like behaviors reveals changes in amygdala GABAergic inhibition New from @TeleseFrancesca and colleagues nature.com/articles/s4159…
sciencedirect.com/science/articl… This paper got published coincidently on my birthday—A celebration of life and a tribute to my mentor’s fruitful legacy in science. Grateful for this journey! 🙏 #BirthdayPaper

Super helpful 👏🏼
We are excited to announce release of v2.5.0! Including burst analysis, action potential phase-plot analysis, additional summary statistics, and more! Check it out: easyelectrophysiology.com/download
Are we compulsively chasing rainbows? New Perspective in @npp_journal with @The_Gilp @SergeAhmed. rdcu.be/cTTGU @PsychiatryUcsd If you’re interested in Addiction and compulsivity retweet and comment, looking to start a discussion to improve research. A quick 🧵
Are you interested in vapor self-administration of alcohol or nicotine, and how CBD affects them? Come over @SfNtweets and check out our work at this afternoon's poster sessions @kallupi_marsida #SfN2022
📢 New paper alert! I'm happy to share our latest data on alcohol vapor self-administration in rats. Great team effort with @brainaddiction, @kallupi_marsida, @SierraSimpson, @KimbroughNeuro, @DanaConlisk, Robert Baker and Max Cantor. A 🧵👇 doi.org/10.1016/j.neur…
