We don't have a second to waste when it comes to getting this virus under control. That's why today, I'll be signing executive actions to expand testing, administer vaccines, and safely reopen schools and businesses.

New work from Michael Totty Reed Ressler and Karthik Ramanathan Cecily Oleksiak building on seminal work by Jonathan Fadok on freeze-flight transitions in rats! Bottom line: context matters and silencing CeA or BNST limits both context fear and flight; similar results in ♂️&♀️.

New preprint out today (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…)! 1st author Cecily Oleksiak parses the role of context in 2-way signaled avoidance and demonstrates that ventral hippocampus mediates the contextual specificity of the avoidance response (🧵1/5)

Hey! Steve Maren 🐀🧠💭😨 is letting me leave the nest. Come check out some of the labs cool work!

Congrats to ⁦Reed Ressler⁩ on his successful dissertation defense! You can’t tell...but we are both beaming with joy!!

Neurotweeps: I am performing an informal survey of neuroscience graduate program stipends and support packages. If you care to share, what is your institution and base monthly stipend (9 or 12 month)? Are tuition + fees included? How many years of support are guaranteed? DMs OK

Happy #PsychopharmPhriday! Today we highlight the #19 most cited (929 times) paper in #Psychopharm, Borsini & Meli's classic 1988 review on use of rodent forced swimming for evaluating antidepressant drug efficacy. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has Covid. Like Trump, Abbott will have access to the best healthcare, the best doctors, the best treatments, should he get symptoms. The kids who he refuses to protect from Covid in his state's schools? Not so much.

Very excited to see my first paper from the lab of Steve Maren 🐀🧠💭😨 in print. Congrats to all co-authors Michael Totty Hugo Bayer and Laila Melissari. Appreciated your contributions.

🚨New paper! Interested in the neural mechanisms for stress-induced impairments in extinction learning? Here I propose that stress recruits LC-NE projections to BLA that limit mPFC activity required for extinction learning. doi.org/10.3389/fnsys.…

Super excited that Texas A&M Institute for Neuroscience and Texas A&M BRAINS will be welcoming the incomparable Karl Deisseroth for our student symposium next week! #neuroscience #optogenetics Texas A&M University 👍🔥

Praying for and with our Buffalo community. Our hearts are with the victims, their families and friends.

Honored to be among 14 faculty named Regents Professor! This would not be possible without the contributions of many talented trainees who inspire me every day and drive the field forward. Thanks to all who have supported me-it means a lot! ❤️
