Really fun visit this week to UMass at Amherst. Many thanks to Karine Fenelon, PhD for hosting. It was great hearing about all of the exciting results coming from the Fenelon lab and others! Cheers

And then this email my box today!! I'm extremely happy and honored to announce that I've been awarded TENURE and promoted to Associate Professor at Duke University! Huge thanks to my lab, mentors, Duke Biology, and the amazing community that supported us through this journey! 🍾🍾 #BHM

Stephanie Gantz, PhD, assistant professor in molecular physiology and biophysics, was named a 2024 Sloan Research Fellow. One of the most prestigious awards given to early-career scholars, the honor includes $75,000 to support Gantz's research. spr.ly/6016nqaKw

This meeting was outstanding! Thanks @IlanaWitten and Zayd Khaliq and the amazing lineup of speakers and trainees

BRAIN-funded research allows scientists to embrace the complexity of the brain. Walter J. Koroshetz Dr. Walter Koroshetz explores what makes the BRAIN Initiative unique in this new blog post series: braininitiative.nih.gov/news-events/bl… #studyBRAIN #NIH

Biggest congratulations to Anthony Yáñez Anthony Yáñez for winning the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship #NSFGRFP ! Starting off with bang, the only way to do it! Great news indeed, we are super excited for this accomplishment!

Happy to see this out in Neuron. Huikun Wang, a staff scientist in our lab, demonstrates that ventromedial prefrontal cortical dynorphin signaling constrains threat-driven passive defensive behavior and switches in network states. Thread below. cell.com/neuron/abstrac…

Interested in doing a PhD or postdoc at NIH? Three virtual info sessions here including June 5. Feel free to attend, ask questions and meet current students and postdocs. National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) NIH Intramural Nina Friedman

I am honored to announce that today, President Donald J. Trump The White House White House Office of Science & Technology Policy announced my pending appointment to the National Cancer Advisory Board. Truly never imagined that I would have an opportunity to help inform our nation's cancer research program. National Brain Tumor Society whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…

Delighted to see Ann M. Graybiel from McGovern Institute Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) inducted into the Royal Irish Academy Royal Irish Academy today as an Honorary Member- A true pioneer of circuit neuroscience and whose mother was Irish. ☘️

We’re happy to announce that Dr. Yarimar Carrasquillo (Yarimar Carrasquillo) of our Division of Intramural Research has been granted tenure! Dr. Carrasquillo studies the brain mechanisms underlying the complex experience of pain. Join us in celebrating this momentous milestone!

It's official! We are thrilled to share that@iaahmed123 Ismail Ahmed will join us as faculty on 09/01. He will launch his program developing novel chemical tools to determine how neuropeptide signaling modulates behavior and physiology in the context of health and disease.

New preprint led by Sam Brill-Weil. Axonal GABA-AR control of nicotinic input to DA axons. Careful analysis of picrotoxin off-target inhibition of nAChRs (a6 and non-a6). Huge congrats to Sam, special thanks to Paul Kramer, Ph.D. and coauthors Anthony Yáñez, Faye Clever, & Sherry Zhang

This is us 🤓Andre Fenton Zayd Khaliq Anna Caputo. We may have been a few, but the presence of Black Neuroscientists at the Synaptic Gordon Research Conferences was powerful! Thrilled to be together in Italy, and excited to present our work. #RepresentationMatters #BlackInNeuro

Now online! The TMEM132B-GABAA receptor complex controls alcohol actions in the brain dlvr.it/TDtjDF

New work from Hamid_Lab UMN!

Exciting work from the lab on unique DA subpopulation! SN pars lateralis DAN firing differs from SNc in super interesting ways. We find robust auditory CTX input and test in threat behavior. Congrats to Lorenzo Sansalone (@newrochemist), Rebekah Evans Emily Twedell, Sherry Zhang!

New trend for this year? #Absolute_Neurophysiology This year, I'll post classic neurophysiology stories you might not have ever heard of, but probably inform a lot about how we think about 2020s neuro... We start with the coolest patch clamp figure, maybe ever...

Congratulations to the #NIH_IRP's newest recipients of the Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers: Drs. Sadhana Jackson, NINDS ; Yogen Kanthi, NIH NHLBI; Hugo Tejeda, National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH); Sonja Scholz, NINDS; Nirali Shah, National Cancer Institute; and Benedict Anchang, @NIEHS.
