Big thanks to Matt Hill and all the students at U. Calgary for hosting me this week. Great snowboarding and science - always such a good time visiting our neighbors to the north 🇨🇦.

We sequenced ventral pallidum and found: - Neuronal heterogeneity (14 GABA subtypes, 2 glut, 1 chol) - Shared cell types with neighboring regions (accumbens, BNST, preoptic area) - Homology between mouse and rat - Transcriptional impact of high-fat diet biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share our methods work out in #Neurophotonics today! We coupled a new microprism design with a long working distance objective to track thousands of cells across days in the striatum. doi.org/10.1117/1.NPh.…

I watch this video at least a couple times a week. It never gets old. Prisms + Spencer LaVere Smith Cousa objective are game changers for striatal imaging. Congrats Madelyn Hjort Raaj Gowrishankar et al.

Excited to share our work in the mbruchas lab on how endogenous opioids promote goal-directed behavior, funded by NIDAnews. I am currently on the job market and this work will form the basis of my research program. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Big congrats to Madelyn Hjort for successfully defending her Ph.D. today in the @UW_Neuroscience program. Major milestone ✔️.

Very excited for this paper to be out in Neuron . We opto stimulated specific inputs to the VTA and used snRNAseq to identify which neuronal subclusters were activated by each input. A fantastic collaboration with Rhiana C Simon, PhD and Stuber Lab cell.com/neuron/abstrac…

Chk out our new collab paper w/ Lin Tian, PhD Matt Banghart & many others. “Opioid biosensors v1.0”. Lots of applications. Encourage people to reach out, test them in ur applications, & ask ?. Congrats to co 1st authors: Chunyang (Jason) Dong Raaj Gowrishankar nature.com/articles/s4159… NIDAnews

Chk out our NAPE Center 5th annual Imaging and Genetics Workshop this fall (10/21-10/24/24) in Seattle, WA Thx NIDAnews for support. Please register/apply now. Reach out to me,Stuber Lab or NAPE Center for more details. Local, US and international attendees are welcome!

Blown away by these last two days at the Allen Institute and University of Washington. Here the researchers are not only doing the next big thing, but also pondering the next 5 steps that will change the world. It's breathtaking. Let me tell you a bit about what saw that got me so excited.

Calling all computational neuroscientists! Opportunity to join the Dept. of Applied Mathematics at UW as a tenure-track assistant professor!

Come explore emerging research in brain-body communication Keystone Symposia Interoception: Neural Sensing and Control of Organ Function, this April in Seattle! keysym.us/KSInteroceptio… #KSInteroception25 pic.x.com/gWsgQgcAJh

Please RT! We are officially accepting applications to the University of Washington Pharmacology PhD program! Are you excited about doing a PhD in a cutting-edge, multidisciplinary community that spans all levels of pharmacology? Come join us! Deadline is Dec. 1. pharmacology.uw.edu/graduate-progr…

Pls Chk out the lab's recent work from Eric Zhang (not on X), now in press & pre-printed. "Dentate Gyrus Norepinephrine Ramping Facilitates Aversive Contextual Processing". Thanks to Yulong Li Lab for the early collab using GRAB-NE2m. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thrilled to share our new paper in nature - "Understanding the neural code of stress to control anhedonia." A wonderful team effort with Frances Xia, Valeria Fascianelli and Stefano Fusi. Check out the thread below. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Several positions open at UW (including in my lab) for this awesome program- importantly, students from nearby colleges/universities are welcome to apply (not just students at host schools)!

Cursor is now free for students. Enjoy!

Big congrats to Andrew Luskin mbruchas et al., on their paper on circuits controlling LC neurons. Lots of interesting data on the peri-LC cell types, connectivity, and function to dig into here.

Excited to share our newest paper led by kuldeep shrivastava out now in Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s4146… 1/

Thrilled to announce that our paper is now finally out! 🎉We combine scRNAseq, 2p imaging, ephys, and behavior to understand the role of lateral septal Nts neurons in opioid withdrawal. Curious about the septum and addiction? Give it a read👇 cell.com/neuron/fulltex…
