We're thrilled to share the lab's first preprint- on CRF neurons, hypocretin/orexin signaling, and BNST neurophysiology in excess alcohol drinking and withdrawal-enhanced anxiety behavior! A collaborative effort with Julie Kauer and Anne Vassalli, led by postdoc Dr. Yihe Ma

The brain has a surge in functional connectivity moments before death: pnas.org/doi/abs/10.107…

One week from today, the Nobel Prize in Medicine/Physiology will be announced. Here are the 79 most likely awardees, each of whom has won two or more pre-Nobel “predictor” prizes:

We are hiring 3+ Neuroscience faculty at CU Boulder! Seeking applicants with outstanding research programs in cell/molecular neuroscience, behavioral neuroscience, and integrative physiology. #academicjobs Future PI Slack neuro rumblr jobs.colorado.edu/jobs/JobDetail…

Big news! The fly connectome is featured on the cover of a special edition of Nature. This is all possible thanks to the collaboration of 292 members of The FlyWire Consortium! nature.com/immersive/d428… Check out the thread for an overview of the 9 #flywire papers published today

New preprint from kuldeep shrivastava looking at how BNST and lateral hypothalamic glutamatergic neurons coordinate reward seeking based on energy state. researchsquare.com/article/rs-520…

A new tool for visualising synaptic vesicle release sites: A Munc13-1-SNAP knock-in mouse line. It works with the help of a new chemical biology probe, by the one and only @BroichhagenJ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Shoutout to The Transmitter for some excellent recent articles! Highly recommend these recent pieces: thetransmitter.org/the-big-pictur… And this one on what defines a neural mechanism (a key topic we cover in my first-year PhD systems neuroscience class): thetransmitter.org/the-big-pictur…

Neuroscientists care about the causes of behavior, while ethologists care about the consequences. These approaches need to merge for us to understand human behavior and its associated suffering. Dorian Battivelli, Fan Zhengxiao, Hu Hailan, and I lay out the why and what.

Ever wanted to explore the driving forces underlying inhibitory neuronal signalling? We did! So, for my MSc in Joseph Raimondo lab, we developed the all-optical approach ORCHID - all-Optical Reporting of CHloride Ion Driving force. Now out in Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s4146…

26 years after Larry Swanson emphasized “the amygdala is neither a structural or functional unit” we used sn-RNAseq to answer the question: “What is the [primate] amygdala?” Check out the preprint 👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I'm excited to share with you all our new paper (co-authors the twitterless Anna Lally and @Healeylab) out in Communications Biology!! I've made a tweet thread abstract below, spooky halloween style.🎃 Open access at the following link: doi.org/10.1038/s42003… 1/14

A little article I wrote about our research and queer women's health research broadly: OPINION Queer women are overlooked in LGBTQ+ and women’s health research, and we’re here to change that  windycitytimes.com/2024/10/25/opi…

It's peak spooky season- but imagine not feeling any fear at all! This week, Penn NGG student Omer Zeliger discusses Patient S.M., a woman with a rare neurological disorder that quite literally made her fearless. Learn more here: pennneuroknow.com/2024/10/29/pat… #scicomm #spookyscience

Can we design allosteric modulators that change a GPCR's preferred G protein? Yes!💥 BAMs at the GPCR-transducer interface change G protein subtype selectivity in predictable ways, enabling rational drug design. The lab's 1st preprint! Check it out! doi.org/10.1101/2024.1… 🧵👇
