Our napping, memory, and Down syndrome paper was just published in PNAS. Napping+REM does not support memory consolidation in Down syndrome children. Great work Spanò, Edgin and Company. This is also my first human study! There is life beyond the rodent. pnas.org/content/early/…

After five years of hard work, I'm SO excited to share my first-ever first-author paper in the trent! We went into this project with a simple question: how do we regulate contextual fear memories? 1/17

A new study reveals a non-opioid pain relief pathway using acetylcholine! Targeting the ⍺7 receptor offers analgesic effects comparable to opioids, minus the addiction risks. A game-changer in pain management. neurosciencenews.com/acetylcholine-… #neuroscience 1/2

“A cholinergic circuit that relieves pain despite opioid tolerance” by Daniel McGehee et al. Neuron doi.org/10.1016/j.neur… 2/2

"Alternative pain control circuits in the brain produce relief similar to opioids without the downsides" Study by Shivang Sullere, PhD, a previous graduate student in the The McGehee Lab, suggests a promising path to developing non-opioid painkillers! neuroscience.uchicago.edu/alternative-pa…

Study by Shivang Sullere, PhD, a previous CON graduate student in the The McGehee Lab, is the topic of this week's NIH Director's blog! Check it out: directorsblog.nih.gov/2023/10/03/pai…

New print Myelination out today and available via link below. This pretty pretty process of glia wrapping their membranes around axons not only makes our brains faster and more efficient. gregadunn.com/product/myelin… #myelin #glia #neuron #neuroscience #brain

Check out this beautiful video from one of our #OpenScope projects! All panels were recorded simultaneously. The top plane are dendrites in the brain's top layer. The bottom row shows activity in a deeper layer of the brain – layer 5. More on OpenScope: alleninstitute.org/division/neura…

I also want to encourage academia-bound underrepresented neuroscientists in their PhD stage to apply for this awesome opportunity! I have earned 2 years of funding for the rest of my PhD + up to 4 years of funding for my Postdoc! Happy to help any applicants seeking advice :)
