Happy to see this out in Neuron. Huikun Wang, a staff scientist in our lab, demonstrates that ventromedial prefrontal cortical dynorphin signaling constrains threat-driven passive defensive behavior and switches in network states. Thread below. cell.com/neuron/abstrac…

📢'The World Is Your Oyster' is for those who are born in global north countries--don't experience visa bureaucracy & emotional burden that non-white global south scholars do. Citizenship is a privilege that we need to recognize in the academe. 1/n nature.com/articles/d4158…

DD's first cell! Beginning of a new era of patch clampers in the Francis lab. Deshdeepak

The lab is looking for postdocs and techs! Up to three NIH-funded positions. Experience with rat behavior, imaging, in vivo ephys, computational modelling, or related techniques are a plus. Please forward to anyone with interest! More info on our site: kmcostalab.com

Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. For people who are actually interested in understanding the science of cannabis, I would recommend visiting cciceducation.com where open access lectures from actual leaders in the field like Margaret Haney Ziva Cooper Yasmin Hurd, PhD Cece Hillard and others can be found.

I wanted to congratulate my UNC Pharmacology faculty colleague Jess Walsh (WalshLab) on her new R01! She is looking for postdocs to join her team here at UNC Chapel Hill. Exciting work exploring molecular and circuit mechanisms that underlie behavior! see ad below!

Hiring a new research technician!! Please share unc.peopleadmin.com/postings/281122

"You talk about #COVID19 in the brain like this virus has a special power no other viruses have". Nah, scientists have known viruses enter the brain for decades now. People just don't like to listen and prefer to believe the brain is an "immunoprivileged site." It is not.

Happy to share this Susanne Ahmari, MD, PhD 🔦🏠 work co-led by myself, Lizzie Manning and Britt Chamberlain, with critical help from Vijay Mohan K Namboodiri and Jamie Pierson! We investigated how striatal spiny projection neurons contribute to compulsive grooming in Sapap3-KO mice. nature.com/articles/s4146…

It's official!! Paper accepted and live on the Journal of Neuroscience website!!! Check out the awesome work of @ashleyc6284 on latent sex differences in the plasticity of hippocampus- nucleus accumbens synapses!!! jneurosci.org/content/early/…

Folks! Awesome opportunity for an NHP researcher at NIDAnews IRP. Will be research lead of the Neural Computation of Motivation and Decision-Making Section as part of the Behavioural Neuroscience Research Branch (BNRB). Contact Geoff Schoenbaum ([email protected]).👇🔥

The serotonin hypothesis of depression has been discarded over the past 20 years. But serotinergic drugs ARE effective for many patients. How do we reconcile these facts and explain depression and antidepressant drug actions to people suffering from MDD? rdcu.be/dJvDH

Very happy to share the lab first paper! We developed a novel light paradigm to mimic adolescent light cycle disruption in mice! A big thank to Pablo Bonilla and Alexandria Atkins for their hard work! frontiersin.org/journals/neuro…

it’s job market season, welcome to hell. here are all my job materials. everything from the cover letter to the job talk that got me a tenure-track job at William & Mary. yes, it’s a lottery. yes, it’s also helpful to see successful examples: dropbox.com/sh/39pp75igrcc…

jobs.colorado.edu/jobs/JobDetail… ‼️👇We are seeking a research assistant to join our team. The selected candidate will receive training in mouse behavioral techniques, in vivo imaging, and neuronal circuit tracing to support our lab projects. Please share:

As an international postdoc, submitting my K99 within my first two years of postdoc would have been impossible. Here are a few reasons why:

Happy to share the final version of our paper, online today nature! We find that adolescent oligodendrogenesis is required for proper circuit maturation and functionally limits experience-dependent neuronal plasticity in adult visual cortex. 1/ nature.com/articles/s4158…

Oh hey that's me!
