Our new Frontiers - Neuroscience article uses graph theory to construct functional connectivity maps across the social decision-making network during distinct social encounters in prairie voles. 🧠🗺️ #BRAINInitiative First publication for Kyle Gossman! 🥳🥳 frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Making the lab a bit seasonal today!

Grad School App Tip: In application essays about your prior research, be sure to emphasize the research questions and what motivated you to answer them. Admissions committees are more interested to hear about research questions than simply listing methods used! #gradapps

The goal of this research topic is to spotlight the function of oxytocin during challenging periods of life. Thank you to our authors, my co-editors, and the Frontiers team for putting this together. Michael Bowen @BenjaminJurek 👏👏👏

Can't even log back in to the #SfN21 website and my session was supposed to start 5 minutes ago. Another tweet says tech support is trying to fix it after and "exceptionally high" video chat volume. How is something exceptionally high when the society had a count of registrants?

Since we are now halfway through my #SfN21 poster session that I can't even access, feel free to reach out here (or on the website if it can actually get going later) to discuss my research investigating social defeat and pair bonding!

I apparently got a question on my #SfN21 poster presentation (that I received no notification of but that's another issue) and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to answer it. Has anyone figured it out?

Me, after five years of studying social bonding, and now working on my dissertation:

Our new research about sex differences in fear processing in the BNST and amygdala is online ! And yes, males and females process fear and threats differently SfN Journals eneuro.org/content/early/…

Under acute #stress some get demotivated, while others full of energy. It depends on our trait #anxiety and CRHR1 system New paper out from the lab, led by Ioannis Zalachoras with great contributions from all authors & collab with J Deussing Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Running a western blot while non-weight bearing, not an experience I'd recommend.

Dissertation accepted by ProQuest, hooding ceremony this Saturday, and a one-way ticket to NYC for next Saturday. Big changes happening but it seems that I am finally #PhDone

Exciting mail received today. 🥺

I am extremely excited to share our Feature Review in Trends in Neurosciences : "Epigenetic mechanisms underlying sex differences in the brain and behavior" cell.com/trends/neurosc…
