Congratulations to lead author Michelle Cahill, Max Collard, @vincenttse, and team for this work on how astrocytes respond to glutamate and GABA, the two major neurotransmitters in the brain. 🎉 nature.com/articles/s4158…

We are looking to hire a new lab manager/technician! Great opportunity to join our incredibly welcoming and collaborative team Stanford Medicine Stanford Neurosurgery studying #myelin and #glia. Apply here: careersearch.stanford.edu/jobs/life-scie…

Extremely excited to share our review on mature myelin dynamics out today! Ethan Hughes and I discuss myelin remodeling and turnover, mechanisms and functional implications. I hope folks will enjoy diving into this fascinating emerging field with us! nature.com/articles/s4159…

And it’s out! Our lab’s very first paper is published today Nature Methods! Our calcium-activated split-TurboID (CaST) can biochemically tag activated neurons within 10 minutes, enabling a molecular handle on functionally relevant cell ensembles: tinyurl.com/ddyecxze

New pub alert! Check out this new review Lahin Mazen Kheirbek and I wrote together on the interesting work that has been done to understand psychiatric illness with calcium imaging in animal models. nature.com/articles/s4138…

Where do new organs come from? In paired studies, we explore walking fish with "legs" to learn about the evolution of new traits. Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL), Cell Press, Current Biology -cell.com/current-biolog… -cell.com/current-biolog…

We are really excited to share these data! This project was a DEEP dive into investigating the structural effects of cocaine self-administration on astrocytes, which revealed a surprising role for microglia pruning astrocyte membranes across abstinence.

Faculty search for a neuroscientist now open UC San Francisco with a focus on systems, computation/theory, and engineering neuroscience approaches. Get those applications in to join this amazing community. aprecruit.ucsf.edu/JPF05110 Please repost or forward to any interested colleagues!

New preprint is up examining what information is encoded by the ventral hippocampus (vhpc) Gotta love those studies where your initial hypothesis is thoroughly destroyed by the data. This one reframed how I think about the vhpc. 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Hot preprint alert!!! Please check out our study led by the amazing Pia Rodriguez on how mitochondrial fission regulates astrocyte morphogenesis! Unexpected findings linking astrocyte mitochondria to tiling and gap junction coupling!!! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

nature.com/articles/s4146… I am excited to announce our work on how myelin loss culminates in neurodegeneration has been published at Nature Communications. While I have previously covered our findings as a preprint in more detail below, our key findings are:

Our latest paper with Ari Molofsky is out! tweetorial to follow. Group 2 innate lymphoid cells promote inhibitory synapse development and social behavior | Science science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Jerika Barron @ Nick Mroz

Excited to share our new paper out now nature, where we identified neural signatures of stress susceptibility and resilience in the amygdala-ventral hippocampal network to enable control of anhedonia! <nature.com/articles/s4158…> Thread below:

Extremely happy to share our manuscript jointly authored by me and the amazing Lindsay Osso ! An awesome collaboration between the Ethan Hughes , denmanlab and Autobahn Therapeutics nature.com/articles/s4146… 🧵

Are you using 5xFAD mice to study Alzheimer’s disease? Our work Neuron may be relevant to you 🐁 Age and sex are known to influence Aβ plaque burden in these mice. Here, we found that the transgene parentage is another strong determinant. (1/11) cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

In addition to Mock Interview Office Hours, we also curated a guide on 📌 "How to run a grad school mock interview"! docs.google.com/document/d/1Qa…
