In 1984 Hansen and Spuhler created the Heterogeneous Stock (HS) rats by interbreeding 8 inbred strains (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6391259; pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31228160). The 100th generation of that cross was born today at UC San Diego Health Sciences, almost 40 years later! 🎂 🐀 🥳 🎂 🐀 🥳 🎂 🐀 🥳 🎂

Good morning Society for Neuroscience (SfN) neurotweeps! Come hangout if you’re interested in testing samples from the Addiction Biobanks, looking for postdocs/GS positions or chat with folks from the Preclinical Addiction Research Consortium. UC San Diego Department of Psychiatry @UCSDSkaggsSOP Giordano de Guglielmo #SfN2023

Hello Society for Neuroscience (SfN) neuroscience enthusiasts! Swing by our booth #3212 if you're keen on exploring opportunities with the Addiction Biobanks, seeking postdoc/GS positions, or simply to engage in insightful conversations with members of the Preclinical Addiction Research Consortium.

Full house at our lab journal club today! 📚 We engaged in a thought-provoking discussion on the potential impact of introducing the term 'preaddiction' for early-stage #SubstanceUseDisorders and explored alternative approaches. Great insights from everyone! #deguglielmolab

Want to take a gap year getting paid to do research after graduation? We'll share our tips for applying to postbaccalaureate programs and research technician positions! Learn about what to write, what to expect, and how to plan for your future! Open to all students on zoom

I’m not at this conference, but amplifying because this is categorically unacceptable.

Got my citizenship and my first acceptance into one of my top picks for a PhD program! Starting off 2024 strong 🤩

In Turkish, instead of writing "et al." which corresponds to "and others," they write "ve ark." which corresponds to "and friends." I love it.

Me writing the dissertation for the PhD program I begged God to let me into 🥲

What a journey! Started as a student with zero experience and grew into the researcher I am today all because Giordano took a chance on me. On top of that, I was surrounded the best coworkers in the world 💖😭 Forever grateful for this chapter 🥹 #imsorryicriedsomuch

Last year, when navigating #gradschool applications, I relied greatly on advice from mentors, friends, and online resources. I wrote down their many helpful insights, and I hope they can help anyone else applying to #PhD programs. mapostol.medium.com/advice-for-app…

🐀 Please RT 🐀 RATTACA is back at #SfN24 — come see us tomorrow at Booth #1828. RATTACA uses polygenic risk scores to predict behavioral traits in outbred rats. Now you can study genetic predisposition to substance abuse in drug naive rats! Details at ratgenes.org/rattaca

Thrilled to share our latest paper in Neuropharmacology in collaboration with the Dr Francesca Telese and Abraham Palmer Labs at UC San Diego Department of Psychiatry. We explored how perinatal fentanyl exposure promotes persistent addiction vulnerability and alters gene expression in the central amygdala

Excited to share our latest paper in Neuropsychopharmacology! Chronic CBD mitigates alcohol dependence, reduces withdrawal symptoms, & offers neuroprotection in BLA & striatum in rat AUD models. Congrats to 1st author Selen Dirik! Thanks to Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research (CMCR) funding for the pilot that sparked this.

A new Neuropsychopharmacology paper just dropped from Giordano de Guglielmo & team on the impact of CBD on alcohol-related behaviors in 🐀 Check it out below 👇

Scientist, speak now or forever hold your peace. link below, deadline monday, July 14th my comment: While new alternative methods (NAMs) have contributed useful tools for mechanistic studies and early-stage toxicology, and some efficacy in predicting efficacy in a narrow area
