My lab’s first paper is out!We show calcium-permeable AMPA receptors appear following extended access oxycodone self-administration and forced abstinence in the NAc core and shell and pharmacologically blocking them in either region 1/ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ad…

Awesome to see this paper out! Was a great experience to be a part of this research during undergrad 🧠

Pretending to know what I’m doing in lab

Excited to spend time with friends and family after a busy semester! 🎄 First time TAing ✅, prospectus (aka comps) prep ✅, getting my Masters ✅, and squeezing in some time for cookie baking ✅

Let me tell ya…it was real fun to fly yesterday…💩

Are you Winter Conference on Brain Research? Want to hear about neural circuits and stress responses (behavior AND HPA AND autonomic)? Come see me at my poster today 3:30-4:30 or at the special session 7:30-9:30. We can talk stress and the brain! #WCBR2023

OK #WCBR2023 - have you ever wondered if pain affects Pavlovian fear conditioning? Then come see me at poster T46 (in the back by the coffee!) during either poster session today! It’s a newly completed data set & I can’t wait to tell ya all about it! Shansky Lab

For those still at #WCBR2023 this panel is happening today at 4:30!! Come join what I'm sure will be a great session on the neural circuits that govern reward-related behaviors 🧠🐁

First time at Winter Conference on Brain Research and what a great place to hear amazing science, meet awesome scientists and present on my first panel! Exhausted in the best way possible 🤩 #WCBR2023

Hot off the press🔥 check it out!!

We love to see UI Neuro Students students celebrated! Matthew McGregor is working in the Ryan LaLumiere Lab to identify the structures & pathways necessary for promoting or inhibiting opioid seeking. Psychology at The University of Iowa

Firm believer that all full-time academics should be paid on W2s, regardless of where our pay originates. Taxes are massively stressful, especially when universities tell us it's our responsibility to figure out their system that *professional tax experts* are confused by 🤷‍♀️

I am deeply honored by this award. Working with grad students is, in all honesty, the best part of this job and is what makes science fun! Thanks, @nett_kelle @MaryLHuff @CaitlinCosme @bess_glickman Alexa Zimbelman Aspen Holm Shion Kabasele

Had a great time presenting this morning! Lots of amazing conversations and ideas 🧠

Paper of the week: excellent Neuropsychopharmacology paper of Ryan LaLumiere lab (1st au Matthew McGregor) on the complex and sex-dependent role of anterior & posterior insular cortex in reinstatement after extinction & incubation of heroin seeking in rats pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38499719/

If you're a neuroscientist, you've probably heard that congress passed final appropriations for FY24, with deep cuts (~40%) to BRAIN Initiative. Advocates are now pushing for +$740 million in FY25 and Society for Neuroscience (SfN) made it easy for you to add your voice here: sfn.org/Advocacy/Advoc…
